There are some addresses that everybody knows: 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Downing Street, and Mainstreet USA are great examples.
And whether you love luxury shopping or bar hopping, everyone has a street that they keep going back to again and again too.
A new study by a well-known travel platform has analyzed social media tags to find the most popular and iconic streets in America right now.
Here are the 5 most iconic streets in the U.S. that travelers love to visit:
5. The Strip, Las Vegas, Nevada
Viva Las Vegas! If Las Vegas is one of the most popular party destinations in the United States, then the Strip is its beating heart.
The Strip is a stretch of Las Vegas Boulevard that is lined with large casinos, hotels, and resorts.
It stretches over 4.2 miles and is one of the most famous entertainment destinations in the world.
The Las Vegas Strip is more than just a street. It is an attraction in its own right. Thanks to the neon lights, billboards, street performers, and themed hotels, you don’t know where to look.
This is one of the best places in the world to be if you want to party, and there’s something here for visitors of all ages. Let your hair down and enjoy the energy that’s in the air. It’s a great destination for infectious fun!
4. Rodeo Drive, Beverly Hills, California
From the moment Julia Roberts grabbed her bags and went on an iconic shopping spree in Pretty Woman, every woman wanted a chance to go shopping on Rodeo Drive.
Other movies that have made Rodeo Drive famous worldwide include Clueless and Beverly Hills Cop.
Rodeo Drive covers three blocks and is around 2 miles long. It is known for having an incredible collection of ultra-high-end designer and boutique shops.
Some of the most famous shops and attractions on the Drive include Gucci, Fendi, Louis Vuitton, and the House of Bijan, which is one of the most expensive stores in the world.
You can see the Beverly Wilshire Hotel (also of Pretty Woman fame) and visit the Anderton Court structure which was designed by iconic architect Frank Lloyd Wright.
Even if you don’t want to go shopping Rodeo Drive is a great place for celeb spotting and experiencing the lifestyle of the rich and famous.
3. Bourbon Street, New Orleans, Louisiana
The very name Bourbon Street conjures a picture of parties, music, and boozy beverages. Bourbon Street is the epicenter of party town New Orleans.
It doesn’t matter what time of year you visit you’ll find a street that is lit with neon lights, there’s always music playing, and the whole area is decorated with beads and other party decorations.
Though Bourbon Street really comes alive at night it also has a great party atmosphere during the day. It’s not quite as crazy as at night, and some travelers feel safer visiting this popular attraction during daylight hours.
Some of the most iconic activities to enjoy on Bourbon Street include visiting countless bars and restaurants, trying your hand at karaoke in the Cat’s Meow karaoke bar, and watching live jazz in Maison Bourbon. This is the oldest jazz club on Bourbon Street.
If you like a boozy beverage, then try a hand grenade. This is claimed to be the most powerful drink in New Orleans!
2. NW 2nd Avenue, Miami Florida
It might not be as well-known as some of the other streets on this list but NW 2nd Avenue is considered just as iconic.
This street is best known for its vibrant murals and trendy art galleries. Funky street art dons almost every shopfront and funky boutiques sit alongside farm-to-fork restaurants.
This is a Midtown Avenue that has a laid-back, hip, and arty vibe.
The main attraction here is Wynwood Marketplace. This is a lively open-air venue where you can find art, music, shopping, and food. You can enjoy live art installations and a warm, welcoming atmosphere.
1. Ocean Drive, Miami, Florida
The road considered the most iconic street in the U.S. is Ocean Drive in Miami. This is the second most famous street in Miami to make this list and the most beautiful.
What makes Ocean Drive so unique is that it is home to a unique combination of natural beauty and city liveliness.
Many people visit Ocean Drive for its white sand beaches and glamorous beach scene.
But many more visit because it is home to some of the best and most famous examples of Art Deco architecture in the world.
Whether you’re looking for an authentic Floridian sandwich shop or a high-end restaurant packed full of famous and glamorous diners, there’s something for everyone on Ocean Drive.
No wonder it is considered America’s most iconic street!

These 5 are indeed a good selection for the 5 Most Iconic Streets in America. Number 1 on the list Ocean Drive is the same 1.3 miles in length as The “Charm’tastic Mile” in Baltimore. The Magnificent Mile in Chicago is the same 13-blocks in length as Bourbon Street in New Orleans. Bourbon Street also made the Top 5 list.
