According to Matador Network, a site that specializes in introducing destinations and providing travel itinerary advice around the world, pedestrian streets are becoming a trend in global destinations. Many cities are seeking to expand sidewalks and restrict traffic on certain routes to create space for outdoor activities and dining. However, not all pedestrian streets are renovated with beautiful and tidy landscapes to provide a comfortable experience for visitors.
Around the world, there are many pedestrian streets that have existed for a long time before becoming a travel trend. Matador Network lists 7 famous streets that attract tourists from around the world.

1. Buchanan Street, Glasgow, Scotland
Buchanan Street was the most loved street in Scotland in 2003 and continues to be recognized to this day. This is the most impressive pedestrian street in Glasgow. The location features Victorian and Edwardian commercial buildings lining both sides and is regarded as one of the best-preserved streets in Scotland according to 19th-century architecture.
Since 1978, vehicles have been banned from this street to make way for a monthly farmers' market and various street performances. It is also home to small shops, museums, libraries, design centers, and notably, the Royal Concert Hall of Glasgow.
Not only is it a commercial and cultural hub, but Buchanan Street is also the "heart" of the city of Glasgow. This location is aimed not only at attracting tourists but also serves as a place for the local community's everyday cultural activities. Photo: Barry O'Neil
