Europe's most expensive public toilet opens in Berlin

Berlin: It has soft lights, gleaming red and blue surfaces and a soothing video projection on the wall showing swirling underwater bubbles. Welcome not to an art hotel but to Europe's most expensive public toilet.

The super-loo is the last word in chic public architecture and comes with a disabled lift, a baby changing area and 24-hour reception. Entrance is the equivalent of Rs. 23. © Guardian Newspapers Limited 2006
