 The world is full of intriguing places, some of which are incredibly unique, some of which are so extraordinary that it's hard to believe they exist. Here us our picks for the 10 most unique and fascinating towns around the world 10 ) GIETHOORN - NETHERLANDS |
 | This idyllic village of Giethoorn has no roads, and the only access is by water over the many beautiful canals or on foot over its wooden arch bridges. The locals use punters to get around and cars have to remain outside the village. Located in the province of Overijssel, there are 6 km of canals and farmhouses with thatched roofs dating back to the 18th century. Hugely popular in summer, the town has no shortage of restaurants and guesthouses overlooking the peaceful canals. |
09) KO PANYI - THAILAND
 | Koh Panyi, located at the mouth of Phang Nga bay off the coast of Thailand is a charming Muslim fishing village built with a combination of wooden and concrete piles on the side of Panyee Island and partially over the water. You can take a day tour from nearby Phuket that will allow you to visit this extraordinary community and see with your own eyes the 18th-century houses, the mosque, and the floating market. The fully functional village has a school, a health center, lots of small souvenir shops, and a handful of large restaurants facing the Andaman Sea. There are even bungalows offering overnight accommodation. Worth seeing is the floating football pitch, built by the village children using old scraps of wood and fishing rafts. |
08) BARENTSBURG - SVALBARD
 | The once grand mining town of Barentsburg is located in the remote Svalbard archipelago in the Arctic Ocean, midway between Scandinavia and the North Pole. It’s part of Norway but occupied by Russia and mined by Ukrainians. During the winter there is no sunlight, temperature rarely rises above 0 and the only way to reach the town is by snowmobile from Longyearbyen. The village offers all amenities you'd need in order to have a decent life : from a swimming pool and gym to a bar, a restaurant and even Russia's northernmost consulate. There is also a massive bust of Lenin, a popular attraction often photographed by the few visitors and a symbol of the history of the town. |
07) AUROVILLE - INDIA
 | Peacefully nestled in the Viluppuram district near Pondicherry , Auroville, meaning the "City of Dawn", is an experimental spiritual community set up with the objective of human unity where people from all countries can enjoy a life of peace and harmony with each other beyond their religious beliefs. It was founded in 1968 by spiritual guru Mirra Alfassa popularly called "The Mother" and is today home to 3000 inhabitants from more than 50 different countries. You can visit Auroville, meet the progressive citizens, and practice silent reflection at the Matrimandir. |
06) TIEBELE - BURKINA FASO
 | Burkina Faso is by no means an area frequented by tourists, but at the base of a hill overlooking the surrounding sun-drenched West African savannah lies an extraordinary village. Tiébélé is a delightful labyrinth of mud houses each decorated with colorful geometrical patterns and also animals and human figure motives. These elaborate decorations express the rich culture of the Kassena tribe, one of the oldest in the country who settled here in the 15th century. |
05) ALBEROBELLO - ITALY
 | Alberobello is an original and picturesque town, one of a kind in the world. The historic center is entirely made up of trulli, which are dry stone huts with conical roofs embellished with decorative pinnacles of various shapes. These characteristic funny looking cone-topped stone houses are prevalent throughout the Puglia region but nowhere more concentrated than in Alberobello itself. Staying in a trullo is a unique experience worth to try at least once in a lifetime! |
04) MATMATA - TUNISIA
 | Matmata is a village in the south of Tunisia, famous for its cave dwellings which house some of the local Berber population. The village's most famous resident is not a local however – or even native to this planet. A Matmata troglodyte house was used as Luke Skywalker's house in the original Star Wars film. Residents and tourism officials have eagerly embraced this fact, and it’s sometimes hard to tell whether Matmata's visitors are more excited by the Star Wars connection or the unusual architecture. |
03) JUZCAR - SPAIN
 | The small hillside village of Juzcar had been one of the white towns of Andalusia, with buildings traditionally whitewashed. Everything changed in the spring of 2011, when all the buildings in town (even the church) were painted blue and decorated with iconic Smurfs characters to celebrate the premiere of the upcoming Smurfs 2 movie. The residents reacted positively to the new look, and voted to keep the blue color. Suddenly a thriving tourism industry was born bringing thousands of tourist each year, curious to see the world's only Smurf Village. |
02) SLAB CITY - USA

Together they have formed a unique and lively community with creative artworks abounding all around, bars, a church and an impressive open-air nightclub with live music performances. |
01) COOBER PEDY - AUSTRALIA
 | Located in the Outback, Coober Pedy is a small and remote town hundreds of kilometers from the nearest settlement. It is self-described as the ''opal capital of the world'' and the opals are the only reason why there is a town. Most of its population is made up by miners who realized it was much cooler to live underground instead of dealing with the scorching temperatures in the desert lands. It's not just homes down there, most of the town's social life takes place underground where you will find many cafes, museums, hotels and even a church. A town more unique than rare ! |

There is probably no one in the world that wouldn't have tried to create a graffiti, at least on the back side of a public toilet door. While in most places graffiti is an illegal activity some cities are thinking more forward and see it as a manifestation of art, but in some of the places even if it's illegal they keep appearing on the walls and houses as a resistance against some sort of political situation, and after a while they become the part and charm of the city until they are inseparable from the it's personality.
Here are 10 cities that are priding themselves with some of the most original, painful, political messages or colourful graffiti in the world.
10) BELFAST - NORTHERN IRELAND
Belfast has arguably the most political graffiti in Europe perhaps in the whole world. This troubled little big city is home to almost 2000 murals that are reminding the citizens and visitors about the acts of intense violence that were going on in Northern Ireland for three decades. The most well-known is the Peace Wall that was separating Protestants and Catholics apart during the conflict and according to recent agreement some of the walls are going to be taken down in an attempt to unite the city.
09) BERLIN - GERMANY
The Berlin wall, once the symbol of separation and hostility is today a colourful reminder of the Cold War, with graffiti depicting historical and political changes in the country. While the West Side of the wall was painted long time ago the Eastern side, today known as East Side Gallery, which was untouched until 1984 is now the largest open air gallery in the world featuring 106 paintings from famous international artists.
But Berlin doesn't stop just there, it operates on a much larger scale to make your city walks more enjoyable, you will see street art and graffiti appearing on every corner and decorating houses in a unique style.

08) PENANG - MALAYSIA
Georgetown on Penang island in Malaysia is somewhat peculiar in combining paintings and actual artefacts as one picture. A Lithuanian artist called Ernest Zacharevic was commissioned to create these wall paintings in 2012 that are fading away very fast. In fact some of them have already disappeared. There is no need to panic as there are new and new wall arts are emerging every year on the streets of this city. You can get a map at the place of your accommodation however just by strolling the streets and keeping your eyes open you will find even more graffities that are not on the map yet, simply because they cannot updated them as quickly as the graffiti keep appearing.
07) VALPARAISO - CHILE
When in Chile head to the capital of graffiti of Valparaiso, this place surprises its visitors on every turn and every corner with a colourful picture created by groups of artists that they travel here from all over the world to leave their legacy on the walls and buildings of Valparaiso. There are however a lots of local artists taking their fair share to give life to the gray walls, while preserving the culture and traditions of the city, all this within the project of 'Valparaiso in Colours'. Behind every single painting there is a well researched story or a deep meaning.
06) BOGOTA - COLOMBIA
Bogota, with its irregular blocks and twisted alleys is home to over 8000 active street artists who are contributing to the colourful look of the city. They can do so happily and legally since 2011 when such art was recognised by the city leaders after the citizens got upset by the police tragically killing a 16 year old street artist.
Walking the streets with organised tours led by local artists have become one of today's major attraction of the city.

05) MEXICO CITY - MEXICO
Why art lovers and artists are heading to Mexico City? To see the house of Frida Khalo? Correct! but not only! This huge metropolis in the recent years has become a hotspot for talented artists. Many spectacular graffiti entered the streets making your city strolls even more enjoyable and the wall art movement is expanding with a rapid pace with backpacking street artists stopping by while travelling the continent and leaving their marks here.

04) LISBON - PORTUGAL
Many fellow travellers will agree with me that exploring a city via its street art may be the best way to explore a city. It is especially true for Lisbon, a city that offers into-the-face art painted on buildings to make them look less shabby and at the same time tiny hidden corners where you have to walk by many times in order to spot the masterpiece. The city council made great efforts to help local street artist to decorate the more rundown areas and so Lisbon has become the most colourful among the European capitals.
03) BUENOS AIRES - ARGENTINA
The capital of Argentina recently brought in a law that helps to maintain street art as a legal activity with many local authorities encouraging urban artists to paint the city's walls. Since then artists from all over the world travel to Buenos Aires to cooperate with the locals and create something special, so they can promote their work in the rest of their journey. The most popular areas are Villa Crespo, Palermo, La Boca, Colegiales, Congreso, Barracas and Montserrat, but random art will surprise you while walking the streets.
It is always worth to go for some organised tours as the guides know lots of interesting stories or political inception that hides behind a piece of art.

02) SAO PAOLO - BRAZIL
Sao Paolo used to host the biggest graffiti collection of South America until a very sad day not long time ago when the mayor decided to paint over them and make them disappear in an attempt to clean up the city. His act only evoked that more and more citizens are defending the street art that belongs to the day-by-day life of the locals.
The incrypted language of graffiti has never been more popular then now in this politically challanged country and especially in Sao Paolo. And it is true that the walls of the city are so colourful and gorgeous like no other of the Latin world, some of them are really brilliant and impressive.
01) MELBOURNE - AUSTRALIA
The Aussies really know how to make a place even more special. Melbourne as the capital of stencil art work gets the well-deserved first place in this ranking. Apart from the most popular streets that are covered on every inch with graffiti like Hosier Lane, Finaly Avenue, Union Lane you can head to Caledonian Lane or ACDC Lane, that are a little less known, meaning less tourist so you can snap your new Instagram profile picture, will not let you down. The tradition of graffiti is in full stream since the 1990's and the locals are taking around their guests with a great pride to show off with this open air museum.

02) INDIANA JONES AND THE LAST CRUSADE
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade is in my opinion the most enjoyable of the Indy franchise, it's an action packed movie that combines the right amount of humor and adventures. The decision to cast Sean Connery as the father of Indiana, with their powerful emotional connection and on-screen chemestry has proven a vital ingredient to the success of this classic movie. The filming locations are excellent as in any other other Indiana Jones movie and will wake-up your desire to travel to distant places like Petra, the ancient forgotten city featured in this movie final scenes.
