estled in the heart of England lies the village of Bibury in Gloucestershire, which is home to the Cotswold Stone Cottages known as Arlington Row. Easily one of the most photographed streets in the world, the Arlington Row has become an icon of the United Kingdom. Another scenic street is found in the Moroccan city of Chefchaouen where the streets are painted blue. A truly gorgeous sight to behold, the bright blue streets are complimented by the lighter shades of blue used to paint the walls of the houses and buildings making the city a beautiful place to visit. Other iconic streets are seen in San Francisco where the crooked Lombard Street prompts many to flock there, and the streets along the canals in Lijiang, China. These streets are immensely beautiful, either architecturally or due to natural formations and are easily amongst the most photographed in the world. For tourists staying in hotels in Melbourne CBD, one of the most beautiful streets is Collins Street found in the very heart of Melbourne.
Given that it is one of the most well known streets, it cannot be too difficult to find and one can simply inquire from their hotel if there is a doubt as to accessing it. For those residing at Oaks On Collins, however, the street is right outside the hotel.
Collins Street preserves some of the best examples of Victorian architecture in Australia and stretches for over a mile. A stroll along the street is a pleasant experience and the manner in which the Victorian architecture blends with the modern buildings is an interesting sight. The street is also peppered with theatres and boutiques for shopping and really should not be traversed without a camera to capture the architectural beauty. Collins Street is also home to a number of large banks and companies making it the ideal place to reside in especially if you are in Melbourne for business.
