When I was researching the topic for this week’s Friendly Friday Photo Challenge, I realized that all my relevant photos were located in Europe. Except for one! I hope that you can show me some more balconies, or patios, or verandahs from all over the world.
The oldest balconies I spotted were in Germany – in Berlin and Frankfurt and in Italy.
Pergammon Offenbach Schloss
Juliet’s balcony was a popular tourist attraction in Verona.


I noticed the fashionable balconies, in Italy, have window boxes that are more often filled with greenery or Geraniums.


And I couldn’t possibly exclude balconies found in Scandinavia from this montage, seeing as that region is my first love.
Sweden has a very famous indoor balcony.
Do you know what special purpose it serves?
I haven’t seen Norwegians use a balcony but they like them Ceremonial Balcony – Stockholm
Norway has some spectacular balconies in Dragon Style
