At the press of a button
If you’re in the old town of this metropolitan city on the Turkish Riviera and want to call a taxi, simply find the nearest tree and press the button on the yellow box. This works just as reliably as any taxi app on your smartphone. And you don’t have to wait any longer.

Alohomora!
Tsar Shishman Street instead of Diagon Alley: Elephant Bookstore what’s tantamount to the Harry Potter headquarters of Bulgaria sells all sorts of magical accessories and memorabilia. Behind the rather inconspicuous store exterior a wealth of trinkets and treasures awaits – plus a grand selection of books, of course!

Frail bond
In 1823, the poet Goethe (right) celebrated his birthday with his last muse Ulrike von Levetzow at the White Horse Hotel. When he seized the opportunity to propose to the noblewoman, 55 years his junior, she declined to accept. And spent the rest of her life irritated by persistent and false rumors of a love affair between them (left).

Well inclined
The multi-award-winning Dockland office tower marks the entrance to the North German port. Designed by star architect Hadi Teherani, the bow of the ship-like edifice juts out 40 meters over the water. The design also features elevators that trace the incline of the building and sloping steps leading up to a terrace with panoramic views.

For the spirit and the sole
Every single day up to 70,000 visitors flock to the Taj Mahal, built over 450 years ago (the photo shows the former guest house). It thus goes without saying that the fine white marble floor of the mausoleum itself has to be protected from street dirt by shoe covers – something we’re all familiar with in beverage filling.

Location, location, location
With grand views of the beach and sea to be enjoyed, business promises to be good for this rather rustic-looking snack bar. And with a menu ranging from fresh matjes herring through gyros and pizza to Indian curry, all tastes (and clients) are catered for!
