    Bourbon Street, New Orleans<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Bourbon Street is the heart of the French Quarter – the oldest neighbourhood in New Orleans, Louisiana<\/a>. Which means it\u2019s FULL to the brim of not only history but an endless supply of bars and fun to be found. I recommend spending your day wandering around the stores and learning about the history and then letting your hair down for the night time. If you\u2019re a fan of the annual Mardi Gras celebration you\u2019ll know all about Bourbon Street but if not, just know you\u2019ll be in for a treat – it\u2019s so much fun!<\/p>\n

    Hot tip:<\/strong> Head to Cafe Du Monde to try the famous Beignets, so yummy!<\/p>\n\"\"\n

      Beale Street, Memphis <\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Much like Bourbon Street, Beale Street is full of history and fun. Known for being the Home of Blues, Beale Street has endless options for a great night out. If you\u2019re up for a big party, you can stay in the main area where there\u2019s plenty of clubs and bars to keep you entertained but if you\u2019re in the mood for some blues head to Blues City Cafe or B.B. King\u2019s Blues Club.<\/p>\n

      Hot tip: <\/strong>Head to Wet Willie\u2019s for delicious daiquiris<\/p>\n

        The Vegas Strip, Las Vegas <\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        This place is like another world and everything is HUGE. When you first drive along The Strip<\/a>, the first thing you\u2019ll notice is the enormity of the casinos and how over the top things are. You\u2019ll also notice that things look really close but in reality, when you\u2019re walking there it takes a lot longer than you think. I guess it\u2019s a good thing they allow you to drink on the streets, to distract you from all the walking you\u2019ll be doing! Vegas<\/a> is by far one of my favourite places I\u2019ve been so far but I couldn\u2019t spend more than a week there at a time – just be aware that\u00a0 you\u2019ll come out wanting more \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

        Hot tip: <\/strong>Use the monorail – It\u2019s a godsend if you have sore feet from too much walking and partying.<\/p>\n\"\"\n

          La Rambla, Barcelona<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          The most famous street in Barcelona<\/a>, La Rambla is a walking street lined with huge green, leafy trees which creates a relaxed atmosphere – perfect for holidays! With lots of kiosks selling souvenirs, flowers and lots of cafes and bars you\u2019ll have plenty to do and buy. Keep an eye out for the human statues that frequent the street, they’re so cool to see!<\/p>\n

          Hot tip: <\/strong>Wear your walking shoes though, you\u2019ll be sure to get sore feet!<\/span><\/p>\n

            Champs-\u00c9lys\u00e9es, Paris <\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            Technically it\u2019s an avenue but for the sake of this list we\u2019ll just go with it. Surrounded by history this famous avenue actually translates to Elysian Fields, loosely meaning heaven on earth so you can just imagine what it looked like in its heyday. You can walk from the Louvre, through the Tuilerie Gardens to Place de la Concorde continuing on to Arche de Triomphe – don\u2019t forget to get the typical selfie in front! Make sure you head to Ladur\u00e9e for macarons and if you\u2019re up for some retail therapy, you\u2019ll score plenty of bargains at the likes of well-known stores like Sephora (YES!), GAP, Banana Republic as well as many local boutiques.<\/p>\n

            Hot tip: <\/strong>If you\u2019re travelling on budget, go just off Champs Elysees<\/a> for cheaper restaurants.<\/p>\n\"\"\n

            How many of these have you been to?<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n
