Milan's Via Monte Napoleone has taken the crown — marking the first time a European city has topped a list compiled by property consultancy Cushman & Wakefield.
The report assessed annual rents globally for 138 luxury shopping districts — from Tokyo to Paris to Zurich.
"Despite challenging market conditions and the dynamic development of e-commerce, the demand for physical retail space in the best locations remains unbroken," Cushman's head of retail investment, Andreas Siebert, said in a statement.
Here are the 10 most expensive shopping streets worldwide, according to Cushman & Wakefield.

Milan's Via Monte Napoleone boasts annual rents of $1,959 per square foot, according to the report, up 11% over last year.
One factor contributing to its ascendance? The street is "very short" compared to others on the list, which has driven up rents, Cushman's head of retail for Italy, Thomas Casolo, told CNN.

While North America posted the strongest rental growth of any continent, according to Cushman, Upper Fifth Avenue came in second this year, with annual rents priced at $1,913 per square foot.
Last month, The New York Times reported city officials are plotting a $350 million overhaul of Fifth Avenue that will make it more walkable — not unlike its European counterparts.
