A Look At The Best Bathrooms Around The World

Lonely Planet has curated a collection of the world’s most extraordinary restrooms for their book A Spotter’s Guide. “As any experienced traveler knows, you can tell a whole lot about a place by its bathrooms,” says Lonely Planet in the book’s introduction. The list features over 100 outlandish restrooms that are compelling for their architecture, design, surrounding scenery or unbelievable locations. Here are 15 of these bathrooms, pictured below, ranging from wild landscapes to metropolitan areas. We invite you to take a look into the soul of each of these breathtaking destinations. From an isolated island restroom in Belize to a bathroom balanced on a bridge in Canada, these restrooms will give you an intimate look into quotidian life all around the world.
