Stary Rynek Square in Poznan (Poland)
The main square of any city is usually considered its heart. Here you
are guaranteed to find an array of museums, grand architecture, street
performers, and a plethora of bars and restaurants. Stary Rynek, the
main square of Poznan, is no exception.
The most spectacular aspect of Stary Rynek is, of course, the strikingly
colorful buildings. It's one of those places that transports you
somewhere magical and revives childhood wonder— Stary Rynek is no common
urbanized city center, but a place inside a Walt Disney film. No two
buildings have the same design or the same color, so strolling around
and whittling away the hours admiring each is a pleasurable way to spend
time. Whether it's a mural or elaborate portico over a doorway, there is
something to enjoy in every direction. |

Low income neighborhood turned into a giant mural
(Mexico)
While most governments devote some of their resources to ridding the
streets of graffiti, Mexican authorities invited one local street art
collective (German Crew) to create what they claim is the country's
largest mural.
Over 209 houses on a hill in the depressed neighborhood of Palmitas in
Pachuca, Mexico, were painted in an effort to reduce violence among
young people. The mural covers some 20,000 square meters—the collective
used around 20,000 liters of paint to create the impressive piece,
entitled "El Macro Mural Barrio de Palmitas." |

bridge in 900 liters of paint in 52 different colors. |

Most photographed street in Copenhagen – Nyhavn
(Denmark)
The Nyhavn (New Harbor) area of Copenhagen dates back to the 17th
century. By the early 1900s, it had become a run-down waterfront but is
now a modern entertainment precinct full of famous restaurants. Once
frequented by sailors and packed with seedy taverns, Copenhagen's harbor
has a history as colorful as its present-day buildings. Today, Nyhavn is
a modern hub where locals come to relax and families mix with designers
and artists.

The Venetian island where every house is a
different color (Italy)
With all the houses painted to make each street look like a rainbow,
this Venetian town could be the most colorful in the world. Burano's
traditional industry is fishing—as a result, there were lots of fishing
boats sailing in and out of its harbor on fishing expeditions. Legend
has it that population began painting their homes in luminous colors so
that the fishermen could see them in in thick fog and avoid crashing
into the shore after a voyage at sea.
But the town's unique look is actually the result of a rigidly
controlled color scheme. If you wish to paint your house, an application
must be submitted to the government and it must fit with the town's
requirements.
