Around the world, there are hundreds of cities with brightly coloured streets and incredible graffiti that help to bring the streets alive. Here are some of the most colourful streets in the world to add to your list of places to visit.
EI Caminito, Buenos Aires, Argentina
Within the La Boca neighbourhood of Buenos Aires lies EI Caminito Street. This small but colourful street has rows of homes and businesses painted in every colour imaginable. And the pretty turquoise (青绿色) and yellow paths for walkers make the street even more beautiful. Home to cafes and shops, this street is typically a hot spot for tourists.
Rainbow Row, Charleston, America
Many people claim that if you don’t visit Rainbow Row then you haven’t really been to Charleston at all The row of 13 houses, painted in pretty pale soft colours including baby blue, soft pink, lemon yellow, and green, are private houses that date back to the 1700g, Just around the corner in the same neighbourhood, you’ll find small ice cream shops, coffee shops, and independently owned stores to do some window shopping for a fun girl’s getaway weekend. .
Old Town Colmar, France
One of the most colourful areas in France is Old Town Colmar, a little village often referred to as the Little Venice of France with a history of over 1,100 years. The canal running through the center of the village is surrounded by half-wood houses of different colours. The village takes special care of the flowers that line the canal, which add to its collection of shining colours.
Nyhavn, Copenhagen, Denmark
The harbour district of Copenhagen is one of the country’s most popular tourist attractions, with good reason — the colourful street is only less impressive than the views of the boats on the harbour. Nyhavn is home to traditional homes painted in bright colours; some have been changed into cafes and shops.

【推荐3】December is made for shoppers. It’s also good for travels. Here are some best places that you can plan to visit this December.
Gubbio
Travelers to Gubbio in Italy's Umbria region will find the largest Christmas tree in the world. The tree is 2,130 feet tall, which came to life in 1981 when the residents of Gubbio decided they wanted to celebrate Christmas in a different way. The lights are turned on on December 7 and are turned off in early January.
Sydney
Travelers to Sydney need to keep their eyes on the sky if they're at Sydney Harbor on New Year's Eve. The annual celebration begins with an air show and is followed by boats spraying（喷洒）water into the air. Other activities include lighting up the harbor bridge and of course, lots of fireworks that can be seen from various points around the city.
Vienna
Vienna in Austria turns into a fairyland at Christmas, as the city's prettiest square glow with lights and holiday green plants. The markets selling a variety of gifts, decorations and traditional snacks generally open around November 20th and close on Christmas Eve. Perhaps the oldest market is at the Old Viennese Christmas Market that first opened on Freyung in 1772.
New York
On New Year's Eve, more than a million people jam New York's Times Square for the annual celebration that includes live musical entertainment, balloons and sweets, waiting to see a huge ball made of Waterford crystal drop as the countdown（倒计时）to midnight begins.
