Fountains around the world

24/2/2014

Is there anything in the world more soothing than the sound of flowing water, or more ingrained as a representation of different histories and cultures than water fountains? Well, perhaps there is, but that still doesn't take away from the beauty and wonder of the variety of fountains found all over the world. 

Fountains can mean a lot of different things to a lot of different people, and almost all of them are quite the sites to see. There's the comedic Mannekin Pis in Brussels, Belgium, which depicts a young boy urinating into a basin bowl and on special occasions serves as a beer fountain. Take the Swarovski Fountain in Innsbruck, Austria, which is the centerpiece of the Swarovski Kristallwelton theme park and is a large, grass-covered head with water flowing elegantly from its mouth. Or how about the Magic Fountain of Monjuic in Barcelona, Spain, which hosts an average of thousands of tourists each and every night for a show of lights, music and performance. So many fountains, so many purposes.

Want to read about more of these fountains? Check out the infographic below, with fun facts provided by Luxe, to learn more about all of the fabulous fountains around the globe that you may have never heard of but will absolutely want to travel to!
