Shopaholics watch out: We show you the 10 most expensive shopping streets in the world. The following addresses are definitely not for bargain hunters. This is where the credit cards glow.

1ST PLACE: UPPER 5TH AVENUE, NEW YORK

The most expensive shopping street in the world is Upper 5th Avenue in New York. On top it is one of the most famous streets in the world. It is 10km long and starts at Washington Square Park, on the level of 6th Street, then leads through all of Midtown Manhattan and forms the eastern boundary of Central Park. Average retail rents are $3,000 per square meter per year. Accordingly you can find the flagship stores of major brands and luxury labels such as Hermès, Gucci, Tiffany & Co., Prada etc. Consumer spending remains high despite prices due to steady employment growth and the importance of New York in tourism, trade and culture.

On second place is Causeway Bay in Hong Kong. The rent for a store on the main street is up to $2,725 per square meter per year. This puts it just behind Upper 5th Avenue in New York.
