The ubiquitous golden arches of McDonald's is one of the most easily-recognizable logos in the world, but not all McDonald's locations are made the same. In fact, some of the burger buildings are so incredible, they become sight-seeing destinations for tourists travelling overseas—and odds are, the burger that you would get in New York will be a bit different than the one you would get in Budapest, Hungary.

Of the 33,000-plus McDonald's franchises in 119 countries worldwide, there are bound to be a few locations that buck the trend, architecturally. We collected the 20 most beautiful McDonald's franchises; after checking out these, you'll never look at your neighborhood McDonald's the same way again.
