Certain cities are known for their grand streets, boulevards, avenues, etc. Quite often a city will have one street that everyone agrees is spectacular.

Paris---Champs Eysees

New York---Fifth Avenue

Munich--- Maximilianstrasse

San Francisco---Lombard Street

What would you say are the most famous streets in the following cities: London, Amsterdam, Madrid, Lisbon, Athens, Rome, etc

Bangkok: Silom Road, and Sukumvit Road

Pattaya: Beach Road, and Pattaya Central Road

correction: for Los Angeles, the main/most central boulevard is Wilshire Blvd.

Sydney: i guess the one with that famous bridge that everyone just loves to rave about... cause nothing thrills me more when traveling than seeing a bridge.

Not the same definition of "famous" but:

Any small town in America = Main Street ^

But Sunset Blvd. really epitomizes the character of the city best

For San Francisco, I would say Market Street is much more fitting. Lombard Street is pretty nifty, but there's not much of anything notable on it.

London is a tough call, maybe Regent or Oxford, but I've always had a thing for Baker Street thanks to Gerry Rafferty

I could make an arguement for New York and Wall Street.

Oxford St for London springs to mind, and when the newspapers were based there, Fleet Street.
