Time for a bathroom break.
When visiting a new destination, your rest stop might not be the first thing that comes to your mind when seeking out picturesque views.
In fact, this portion of the journey is almost always overlooked — bathrooms in general don’t often come with a “wow” factor, since the objective is to usually make your rest stop as short as possible.
However, some bathrooms around the world challenge that notion. From a bathroom that peers out to an African safari, to a toilet with panoramic views of the Las Vegas strip, these restrooms will make you want to actually stay seated just a little bit longer.
Here are some of the best toilets with a view from around the world.
