If your dream holiday is a long trip in a car or on a motorbike, pay attention to Canada. It is here, according to the locals, that the world's longest street is located.

Its length is almost 2,000 kilometres, or 1896 kilometres to be exact. It was officially considered a record holder until 1999, Travelingmitch writes.

Yonge Street begins in the centre of Toronto and ends in Rainy River, a small town on the border with Minnesota. For a long time, it was included in the Guinness Book of Records, until this title was cancelled in 1999.

Some people believe that Yonge Street ends closer to the beginning in Keswick, a community in Cook's Bay north of Toronto. Whatever the case, the locals are not ready to say goodbye to such an important tourist attraction, so they still encourage foreigners to visit the world's longest street.

Just imagine that you can drive through many towns and villages, enjoy a wide variety of landscapes and wonderful places without ever turning off one street. It's a real paradise for drivers who are tired of looking at the navigator.
