These unusual communities are stranger than fiction

The world is full of fascinating and beautiful places. For every picture-perfect location, there’s a more unusual one just down the road. We've ranked our top 10 'stranger than fiction' communities, where things aren't always as they seem.

From Norway's northernmost town where you aren’t allowed to die, to a creative village in Japan where the inhabitants are life-sized dolls, click or scroll to tour some of the strangest towns and villages in the world....

We've based our ranking on the opinions of our well-travelled team. The list is unavoidably subjective.
