GOLDEN arches and red seating, it's safe to say that most McDonald's generally have the same look - apart from this one.
In Guatemala there's a restaurant of the fast food chain that looks nothing like you'd expect, and has been called the 'prettiest in the world'.

McDonald's Antigua, Guatemala has ditched the usual McDonald's design for a beautiful courtyard, and incredible views.
The restaurant is in the central highlands of Guatemala - so if you look out you get views of the enormous Agua volcano.
It has a large beautiful cobbled courtyard full of lush green trees, bright flower, and tables with sun umbrellas surrounding a huge fountain.
Some videos on social media even show off live music outside.
You don't forget it's a McDonald's, though, when you spot a huge Ronald McDonald statue on a bench.
It has made an impression with visitors too, one wrote on Tripadvisor: "I guarantee you won't have seen a McDonald's like it."
Another said: "The McDonald's here is amazing. Because of the city's historical preservation rules, you won't know that McDonald's is there unless you happen to walk by and look inside."
A third commented: "You can eat some burgers or ice cream with a beautiful view of mountains."
It even has a swing set integrated into its design which has appeared multiple times on Instagram and TikTok.

McDonald's knows what they're doing, as there's one very quirky restaurant in New Zealand that's inside a decommissioned DC-3 plane.
On the aircraft-turned fast-food restaurant in Taupō, New Zealand, you have to climb the original plane stairs that lead into the restaurant.
Inside there's not a lot of room, but 20 diners can sit across 10 tables.
There's also the cockpit, which has been preserved behind a glass wall.
The outside of the plane has been repainted, and the previous airline name has been replaced with the McDonald's logo of course.
The tail end of the plane features the classic McDonald's golden arches and outside, there's a playground for kids as well.
Here are more of McDonald's restaurants around the world that are both beautiful and unusual, from former banks to UNESCO sites.
Plus, inside the world's most tranquil McDonald's with Japanese-themed tea garden and serene river.

Little-known UK wildlife park named among the best in Europe
Jimmy's farm has been awarded as one of the best attractions in Europe according to TripAdvisor - and it may be one you have seen on television before as it's home to some exotic residents A wildlife park in the UK has been named one of the best in Europe after being announced as one of Tripadvisor Travellers' Choice Award 2025 winners. Jimmy's Farm in Wherstead, Ipswitch is a much-loved park in the heart of Suffolk and is home to several exotic animals such as zebras and crocodiles as well as farmyard favourites too. It is also home to the Lost Lands of the Tundra - a home to rescued polar bear Ewa, Arctic Foxes and the UK's largest pack of Arctic wolves. Jimmy's Farm is owned by television presenter and farmer Jimmy Doherty. The farm has been on television since 2004 and now the winning title has put the farm in the 10% attractions based on reviews and ratings from visitors over the last year. It comes after reports of life in a small fishing village with some of UK's best seafood but hardly any tourists. Stevie Sheppard, park director, said: "We're over the moon to receive this award. It's a real reflection of the amazing team we have and the lovely visitors who take the time to share their experience. "Everything we do, from our conservation work to creating special days out for families, and to be recognised by Tripadvisor is just incredible. We're proud to be flying the flag for Suffolk and want to thank everyone who's supported us over the past year." Earlier this year, the park was also awarded Experience of the Year at The Suffolk and Norfolk Tourism Awards, as reported by the Ipswich Star. It has become a centre of excellence for British rare breeds as well as home to camels, primates, tapir and crocodiles amongst other animals. Visitors can hand feed some animals and get even closer with special animal talks and activities too. The Wildlife Park, which has zoo status, takes the same considered approach to conversation with rare and endangered animals staying with us. In 2020, Jimmy shared his life long passion for insects in the Big Bee Rescue on Channel 4, aiming to inspire protection of the nations bee population. He first appeared on television alongside Jamie Oliver in his cooking programmes over two decades ago, and after training to be a pig farmer, he established his own farm and founded the Essex Pig Company, which became the focus of the reality TV documentary, Jimmy's Farm. These days, Jimmy juggles his farming duties with his television career, and this weekend he's in the new Channel 4 show, Jimmy Doherty's Big Bear Rescue. The programme follows Jimmy, 50, at his Suffolk farm and wildlife refuge, where he welcomes some homeless polar bears, a pack of wolves, and two brown bears looking for their forever homes. All of the action is filmed on his sprawling 70-acre family farm. He shares this idyllic setting with his telly producer wife Michaela Furney and their four daughters, not to mention a host of pets.

The Turkish hotel they usually stay at is the Regnum Carya in Antalya, where rooms start from around £1,000 per person per night. They have been there so many times, Stacey now refers to it as her "second home". The couple have a blended family of six children. They share three kids together – Rex, six, Rose, three, and Belle, two – while Stacey is also mum to Zachary, 17, and Leighton, 12, and Joe has 18-year-old son Harry with his ex Emma Sophocleous. However, in the family photo from their holiday fans were quick to point out that Harry wasn't on the trip. Stacey posted slew of sweet snaps of her and Joe with their other five kids and wrote: "Time to make some memories my whole world 🥹 can't wait for some special time with my babies. "Got one picture of us all the second one is every photo ever happy summer everyone from pickle cottage to our second home at this point."

Wish Joe eldest son was included more." Stacey Solomon clashes with husband Joe Swash as they reveal relationship struggles in therapy While another added: "Why is Joe's eldest son never with them." This person said: "I agree would be nice for them to acknowledge they're missing one!" Their holiday comes just days after it was reported how Stacey and Joe have made a "vow" amid "silly bickering", according to a source. It comes after "tension" between the popular couple has recently been captured on TV. Stacey Solomon's career so far Stacey Solomon has been a familiar face on viewers' screens for over a decade. Let's take a look back at her career. The X Factor (2009): Stacey competed in series six of long-running ITV singing competition The X Factor. During her time in the show, she was mentored by Danni Minogue in the 'Girls' category. The star finished in third place, behind Joe McElderry and Olly Murs. I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here (2010); In late 2010, Stacey headed to the infamous I'm A Celeb Aussie jungle. After 21 days, she triumphed to win the tenth series. It was through I'm A Celeb that she met future husband Joe Swash - who'd won two years earlier and was hosting the ITV2 spinoff. Celebrity Juice (2011―2013, 2016―2019): The star appeared as a panellist on 21 episodes of the comedy panel game show hosted by Keith Lemon. Stacey was a regular in the 21st series, broadcast in 2019. Loose Women (2016 - present): Stacey has been a permanent panel member of the daytime show since 2016. She previously made guest appearances in 2011 and 2012. Sort Your Life Out (2022 -present): This BBC show sees Stacey, with the help of an expert team, transform participants' living spaces after removing clutter. However, according to a source, the couple have vowed to take time out to remember why they're so good for each other. During their BBC reality show, the pair shared a close-up look into the ups and downs of life at Pickle Cottage and their relationship. The source told New Magazine: 'There's tension in the air and there is a bit of bickering. But it puts a strain on any relationship. "You look at those on reality shows, such as the wives in The Real Housewives, with cameras in their houses 24/7, and a lot of their relationships crack under the pressure.' Despite this, the source maintained that a break away from the cameras, however small, is just what Stacey and Joe need. The source added: 'They're worried that if they don't have a break from the cameras and the limelight, it could affect what makes their relationship special. 'They're still very much in love and are really trying to focus on each other amid the silly bickering and moments of tension, and remember why they got together in the first place – and why they're actually so perfect together. "They have vowed to carve out some quality time this summer to do that."

Halle Berry subtly flashes fans with nude selfie amid life-changing road trip
X-Men star Halle Berry has been giving fans insights into a road trip in the US with her family lately, including having posted about taking care of her body at a spa recently Actor Halle Berry shared a photo of herself on social media this week in which she appeared to be topless. It showed her posing for a selfie in a bathroom mirror whilst at a spa, with a reflection elsewhere showing more of her body. Halle, 58, has been sharing updates after embarking on a "monster road trip" of the US. Joined by her family, including her partner Van Hunt, 55, she has been posting about the vacation, having already visited parts of Arizona and Utah. Over the last few days, the Oscar winner has been sharing content on Instagram from their time at Amangiri Resort in Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. It's included Halle posting about enjoying a spa day at the resort recently. One post featured a series of photos from the experience. One showed Halle in a robe, whilst others showcased the spa facilities at the location. Another showed her posing in a bathroom, with her head and arm visible in a mirror. Reflections in faucets above the sink however appeared to show more of Halle's seemingly naked body. Some fans have since pointed it out in the comments section. Her partner Van has also reacted to the photo of her, with the singer writing beside a heart-eyed emoji: "3 got me geeked." Halle shared in the caption of the post that she was taking care of her body. Alongside the photos, accompanied by Doechii's song BLOOM, she wrote: "And then ... we spa! Taking care of my body. It's the only place I have to live!" Halle has been posting about her road trip on the platform lately. She teased two weeks ago that the "next adventure" would see her family face their "fears" and "grow for real," before sharing updates over their activities since then. Just last week, she told her followers that they had been at the Hoodoo Trail. Halle included a series of photos in her post that showed the group rock climbing together, whilst another showed the X-Men star crossing a bridge. She wrote in the caption: "When we the last time you faced your fears? We climbed Hoodoo canyon and came face to face with ours." Halle, who used Katy Perry 's song This Is How We Do in the post, concluded: "This is how we do!" More recently, over the weekend, Halle shared that she had made a realisation whilst on the road trip. She wrote in a caption: "Have you ever been on a trip where you were so at peace that the universes offered you a surprise realization! That just happened to me ya'll. Thank you universe." It accompanied a photo that featured a message for her followers. It read: "Heaven operates in times and seasons, not calendars. Spiritually, when you outstay your welcome in a former version of yourself or a former assignment, the grace for that cycle begins to dry up." The message that was included in her post three days ago continued: "You'll notice that things that used to work no longer work. That doors that used to open are now closed. The patterns you once relied on, now begin to frustrate you. "So when God allows everything to hit you at once, it's not punishment. It's a mass exit of expired alignments. He's allowing the collapse of things that were secretly limiting you, even if they were once blessings."
