Welcome to this compendium of interesting, unexpected and downright bizarre geographical anomalies that are guaranteed to delight and inspire.

Where else can you discover:

  • Countries that do not really exist
  • A UK hotel room which became Yugoslavian for one day only
  • An island which is Spanish for six months of the year and French for the other six
  • A city which is officially constituted by one single high-rise (14 floor) building
  • The world's first and only railway that belonged to one country and ran across another
  • A hotel room whose bedroom is in France and whose bathroom is in Switzerland
  • Bir Tawil which is one of the very few territories on earth not claimed by any country
  • The only place in the world where you can find so-called counter-enclaves where in a 20-minute walk around the town you can cross an international border at least 50 times at 50 different points

The world is full of wonderful and strange geographical irregularities. Turn to the Atlas of Geographical Curiosities to uncover more little known but important facts.
