● Taupo, New Zealand
The McDonald’s in Taupo, New Zealand, is arguably one of the coolest-looking McDonald’s out there. Originally a DC-3 passenger plane, it was retired in 1984 and reopened as a McDonald’s in 1990, allowing customers to dine inside an airplane.

 

● Rotterdam, Netherlands
This McDonald’s was once an old, outdated location that had been standing for over 45 years in the Netherlands. Its worn-out appearance made it one of the least favorite buildings among locals. After two months of renovation by a local architectural team, it was transformed into one of the most beautiful McDonald’s in the world.

 

● Dallas, Texas, USA

The McDonald’s in Dallas, Texas, USA, is built entirely around the concept of a Happy Meal. Not only can you see fries, but you’ll also spot a giant Big Mac on the building itself.

● Times Square, New York, USA
