Resembling a ski lodge, the restaurant fits in perfectly in the mountain town. However, inside is much more glamorous than perhaps any outside viewer could expect.

Built in 2013, this location also won the award for The Best Commercial Building of 2014 by the architecture website ArchDaily.

Located in downtown Batumi, this McDonald's stands out for its reflective glass exterior. Patrons eating inside the restaurant can also gaze out onto the pool of water and manicured grass surrounding the building.

The McDonald's opened in 1988, becoming the first McDonald's in Hungary.

According to Mic, the station was built in 1877 by the Eiffel Company, which also built the Eiffel Tower. As well as being home to a McDonald's, the train station is still fully operational.

However, according to Atlas Obscura, the fast-food giant faced pressure from preservationists to restore the home to its former grandeur.

The town then allowed the chain to build onto the existing building to create space for a drive-thru.

The building was originally an 18th-century farmhouse that was converted into a Georgian-style mansion in the 1860s.

Despite having a unique theme, the restaurant still serves up McDonald's favorites.

The "train station" opened in 1975, and is also occupied by a Subway, a Dunkin', and a Panda Express.

"The building is unique to any I have ever seen and it is a joy to take a break and walk to the second floor and enjoy the view while I enjoy breakfast or lunch," wrote one Tripadvisor user.

It was designed in accordance with building requirements from the city where, in 2017, the median income for a household family of four was $65,059.

One thing is for certain — it'll be difficult to leave this McDonald's restaurant "Hungary."

According to a previous article by Business Insider, the colorful window is original to the coffee shop that previously occupied the space, and it features beautiful coffee-related scenes.

The restaurant has been called the world's most beautiful McDonald's.

The giant bronze eagle was designed by Portuguese sculptor Henrique Moreira and is usually the first thing customers notice when they approach the restaurant.

While most restaurants in the United States feature the colors red and yellow, this Russian location uses green and yellow in its design.

The building almost resembles the White House.

However, past its columns and grand facade, customers can still enjoy McDonald's favorites like the Big Mac or Brazilian menu items like the Crispy Bacon Steak or Big Tasty Turbo Cheese burgers.

Though you might think patrons can stroll up the steps to enter one of the most unique McDonald's buildings in the world, customers actually enter from a side entrance.

According to Atlas Obscura, this fast-food outlet is the only space and UFO-themed McDonald's in the world.

Inspired by the extraterrestrial history of Roswell, the interior of the spaceship holds a play place, which is also space-themed.

Though the McDonald's location is less colorful now, it's still the same shape and features giant sculptures of a burger, fries, and a Coca-Cola cup.

The restaurant can be found on Rue Saint-Lazare in Paris, France. Though the building is now a McDonald's, it's also a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Some McDonald's locations attempt to blend in with the local buildings and are designed more sympathetically.

This McDonald's location, however, was actually built inside a preexisting, 150-year-old colonial mansion. Located in Freeport, a small seaside town in Maine, the building was converted into the town's only McDonald's in 1984.

Moored slightly south of the Gateway Arch on the Mississippi River, this McDonald's was the very first McDonald's to be opened on a riverboat.

It was open for 20 years before closing in 2000.

The building was originally the United Kingdom Hotel and was designed by architect James Hastie Wardrop.

Constructed between 1937 and 1938, this restaurant has been called one of the most beautiful McDonald's buildings in the world.

Visitors to this unique McDonald's restaurant can also view the D3 plane's cockpit.

Named one of the "world's coolest McDonald's" according to a sign outside the restaurant, customers can enjoy everything from a classic Big Mac to Chicken McNuggets and McCafe beverages inside the plane.

Many locals objected to the restaurant opening inside the historic building, calling it a prime example of Western commercialism invading Chinese culture.

However, the restaurant has become somewhat of a tourist attraction since it opened in 2015, welcoming visitors from all over the world.

Before being converted into a McDonald's and McCafe restaurant, the building was known as a cultural relic that was the residence of politician Chiang Ching-kuo for one month during the 1940s.

Speedee, a chef with a hamburger for a head, appeared on the original McDonald's signs alongside the brand's logo of two interlocking golden arches.

Some signs also advertised the low price of McDonald's hamburgers — just 15 cents at the time.

It is the oldest surviving McDonald's location in the world, and it doesn't even have a drive-thru! Instead, customers can walk up to the restaurant's windows to order.
