The modern person has a great opportunity to travel all over the world. Depending on your preference, your vacation can be spent on the beach, climbing peaks or exploring some of the world's most extraordinary cities, for example.
Inimitable, unique, majestic Italian city
The legendary Venice is recognized as the most unusual city in the world. Consisting of 118 islands connected by 400 bridges, it rests entirely on water. However, it will not be possible to see shacks on high piles here. Historical palaces, colossal cathedrals and massive buildings are spread out in front of the traveler.
Venice never had wheeled transport, and in the early 16th century, the authorities banned the use of horses. Moving around the city takes place exclusively by water: by vaporetto or traghetto. Not everyone can afford to "travel" on the famous gondola. Also Venice can be explored on foot. However, in order not to suddenly find yourself in the channel, be sure to stock up on a detailed map and walk very carefully in the dark.
It should be noted that Venice is gradually sinking under water. World experts give a disappointing forecast: by 2028, the most unusual city in the world may become uninhabitable. To save the unique architectural monuments, hermetic fortifications are gradually being erected around the city. The project was codenamed "Moses".
Amazing cities in the world
However, there are several more unusual cities in the world than one. For example, Venice can compete with Mexicaltitan. This city is also completely on the water (on an island off the coast of Mexico). However, it is inferior to Venice in beauty, size, and number. The unusual city is about 400 meters in diameter, built up with small houses. When the streets of the island disappear under water, the entire population (800 people) moves to live on boats.
Another unusual city is located in Bolivia. La Paz is located in the crater of an inactive volcano. The city center is located above sea level at an altitude of 3600 meters, the height of the outskirts is 4000 meters. In addition to its unique location, La Paz is notable for its original shopping arcade. For example, on one street, travelers will find only sports shops, on another - souvenir shops, on the third - beauty salons. The highlight of the city is the Witch's Market, where you can buy all the necessary ingredients for various potions (from embryos of llamas to claws of unknown origin).
Unusual cities in the world exist not only on the water or in the craters of former volcanoes, but also in dangerous rocky areas. Spain is home to the unique Setenil de Las Bodegas, which is more than 800 years old. All the houses of the city are built into recesses in the sheer cliffs, which makes the place special and very spectacular.
The second similar building is located in China, in the Shanxi province. The Buddhist monastery with the central temple of Suankunsi literally hovered in the air against the backdrop of sheer cliffs. The buildings of the temple complex are "imprinted" in the mountain range and are supported with the help of supports and beams.
