8 Strange and Unusual Guinness Records From Around the World

While the world's widest avenue is located in Buenos Aires, Argentina, the world's narrowest street is found across the globe in Reutlingen, Germany.

This tiny alleyway known as Spreuerhofstrasse was officially measured by Guinness in February 2006. The street extends for 65 feet and spans a mere 19.68 inches wide at its widest point, while narrowing to just 12.2 inches at its tightest spot. Spreuerhofstrasse was inadvertently created in the 18th century during the rebuilding process after a devastating fire in 1727. Curiously, Spreuerhofstrasse is getting narrower each year, as the surrounding walls are slowly leaning further into the space.
