The highest
In Switzerland, in Chillon Castle, you can visit a cell for the most dangerous criminals. The tiny room is in a high tower, and the toilet is a canister with a hole hanging over the endless expanse of Lake Geneva. From here there is a stunning view: the mist-covered water surface, the snow-capped peaks of the Alps, and clouds floating at arm's length.
The most mobile
In Greece, along with ancient toilets that are still usable today, in one of the fashionable restaurants you can find an ultra-modern high-tech toilet. Imagine: you get up from the seat, and it slowly begins to recede into the wall, from where after a while it emerges and takes its place - fresh, washed, and shining.
The most swinish
In Berlin, you should visit the toilet at the Leidecke café. The atmosphere of the Third Reich era has been preserved here: oak doors, porcelain handles on brass chains, bubbling flush tanks, and a taciturn attendant who hands out a starched hand towel. A huge boar lives inside the toilet, and sometimes it is brought out into the hall, which causes wild delight among visitors.
The most renowned
One of the public toilets in Calcutta was recently given the name "White House". It all started when US President George Bush named his cat "India". Indians did not like that. And they decided to take revenge. Now thousands of people every day, visiting the Calcutta White House, mention its overseas namesake with a kind word - and, along with it, the owner.
The most stylish
In Paris there is the Costes café, designed by designer Philippe Starck. Everything is done in steel tones, toilets are shaped like spacecraft, the supply of fragrances is controlled by photocells, and everywhere - mirrors, mirrors, mirrors. They hang on the ceiling, on the floor, on the doors - but not in the places where mirrors are in an ordinary toilet.
The most emancipated
In Amsterdam, the first toilet in the West has opened, where special female urinals are installed in the ladies' rooms. Thus, Dutch women have become equal in their rights with men. For the representatives of the stronger sex, urinals are made in the form of pieces of chrome pipes protruding from the wall.
The most expensive
Three years ago, the Tallinn city government built a public toilet on Toompea Hill - right next to the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral and in view of Estonia's parliament building. Connecting the sewage system and landscaping the area turned out to be an expensive affair - the two-seat building cost 2,338,012 kroons ($131,000).
The most high-tech
Japanese toilet stalls are packed with high-tech electronics that turn on under your weight. Sensors work, colored lights blink, lines run across the display screen. Flushing is done automatically, a special roller comes out from below and gently washes the buttocks, then the bottom is dried with hot air. In Tokyo, in Ginza, there is a toilet where you can get data on your blood pressure, liver, kidneys, heart condition, and even an electroencephalogram of the brain.
The most royal
In London there is the Harrods store, where the royal family gets dressed. Near the toilet doors, elegant people in tuxedos, bow ties and top hats are on duty. You have to pay one pound to enter, but the interior is worth it. The cabin doors are made of mahogany, the handles are gilded, and on the shelf there are six bottles of various eau de toilette. That's where you can answer the call of nature like royalty!
The most artistic
One of the toilets in St. Petersburg is painted from top to bottom with Mitki paintings, poems by young geniuses, fashionable graffiti and drawings by avant-garde artists. Knowledgeable tourists take photos not against the background of the Winter Palace, but against the background of works by the best St. Petersburg masters.
