When you think of traveling, McDonald’s might not be the first thing that comes to mind. But for some globetrotters, grabbing a Big Mac — or maybe a McBaguette — is part of the adventure. From a “ski-through” window in Sweden to a decommissioned airplane in New Zealand, McDonald’s has some truly unique spots around the world. And let’s not forget the menu items: poutine in Canada, jamón Ibérico sandwiches in Spain, and even macarons in France.

It’s not just about the food or the quirky locations, though. For many, dining at McDonald’s while abroad is a way to explore how the chain blends into local cultures. Forget the usual tourist spots — sometimes, the most interesting experiences can come from seeing how a global brand adapts to its surroundings.

Gary He, a Brooklyn-based photographer, recently released McAtlas: A Global Guide to the Golden Arches, a 420-page book filled with photos capturing these one-of-a-kind McDonald’s locations. From a Japanese-style garden in Singapore to bustling cities like Tokyo and Istanbul, He’s work shows how the fast-food giant has become a global phenomenon with its own unique flair in every country.

So, next time you’re abroad, don’t be surprised if you find yourself tempted to stop by McDonald’s. Whether it’s for a familiar taste or to try something completely new, it’s a quirky way to connect with the culture — and maybe even snap a photo for the ‘gram.
