Discover 100 lavish lavatories and outstanding outhouses that offer a window to our world. From Tokyo’s transparent public toilets to the sand-swept privy in the Namib desert and a barren bog on Bolivia’s Altiplano, each commode features a fun illustration, photo and description proving that beauty can be found in the most unexpected of places …
Here’s a sneak peek at some of the images from Lonely Planet’s Toilets of the World.
Czech…mate, Prague, Czechia
This judgmental urinal at the Palladium mall in Prague, the spectacular capital of the Czech Republic, is definitely not a place for shy guys to hang out.
A loo to look out for, Bauska, Latvia
Built in the 15th century above the confluence of the Mūša and Mēmele Rivers, and used by an order of Teutonic knights, Latvia’s Bauska Castle features a
latrine that protrudes from the wall – certainly one way to deter would-be attackers.
Sitting pretty, Mt Aspiring, New Zealand/Aotearoa
The tramp to Liverpool Hut in New Zealand’s Mt Aspiring National Park is notoriously gnarly, with some seriously precipitous sections, but it’s worth it for the view from the loo alone
Green wooden outhouse (public outdoor toilet) for tourists with big snowdrift on roof at amazing winter forest in Nature Park Ergaki, Western Sayan Mountains in southern Siberia, Russia
