Every person should do something out of the ordinary at least once in their life. Stepping into an upside-down house is not only out of the ordinary but quite an awkward, yet fun experience. The entire house, including furniture and decor, is flipped upside down. Imagine walking on the “ceiling” and peering down at the sofas and tables stuck to the “floor” above you! Join us as we visit a few upside-down houses in our beautiful world…
Upside-down houses are, unfortunately, not wheelchair-accessible or suitable for people with difficulty walking.
Amsterdam is different! Not only does the facade NOT look like the typical upside-down house, but it’s a much different experience from my previous upside-down excursions. The illusion activities just blew my mind. There were optical illusions, and I found myself questioning what was real and what wasn’t.
Another fun experience was the various camera points… the rush between pushing the button and getting the right pose just in time for the camera to flash. It’s great to get group photos – no having to ask someone to take a photo of us! That made for some precious photo memories to print on-site or download to your mobile device.
Overall, I highly recommend checking out this fun-filled attraction. It’s such a unique and fun experience. You will feel like you’ve stepped into a whole new world!
Some of these unusual houses are not only built and furnished upside down, but they are also slightly tilted at around 7 degrees. And so it is with this upside-down experience in Siofok, Hungary. Upside-down, AND tilted. From the moment you enter the house, you’re flipped at an angle. Thus, gone is your comfort zone.
Or shall I say: Gone was MY comfort zone! As soon as I stepped inside, I was immediately transported to a world where everything was flipped on its head. It was disorienting at first, trying to wrap my head around what was happening. The furniture was hanging from the ceiling (No wonder Lionel Richie’s song “Dancing on the Ceiling” immediately came to mind!), the lamps were on the floor, and the pictures on the wall were upside down.
The house has a spiral staircase that takes you straight to the top level. Feeling disoriented as it is, the staircase was a sufficient reason for taking it slowly. It was so trippy!

I guess once you’ve been inside one topsy-turvy house, you can comfortably say you’ve had the experience. Another bucket list item checked off!
However, I wanted to compare what I’ve seen before with other similar concepts. And so, I visited South Africa‘s version up north in the Hartbeespoort region.
I was amazed by the design’s creativity. It must have taken months, if not years, to complete. Like Siofok, the concept was similar, but at least the staircase was not that daunting.
Furthermore, the Hartbeespoort venue combined the attraction with great family-friendly facilities, such as a picnic area and a playground for the kiddies.

No, not nearby. The only other upside-down house in the country is in Melville, KwaZulu-Natal.
First, a short intro to Antalya, once a Roman port in Turkiye. Antalya evokes visions of blue waters, world-class holiday resorts, large hotels overlooking the beaches, and a yacht-filled Old Harbor. No wonder then that Antalya is known as the Turquoise Coast.
To get to Antalya you can fly to Antalya’s Airport (AYT),
Something I really love about Antalya’s topsy-turvy house is that Antalya has onsite staff, and they are most helpful in showing you around – even taking pictures at an affordable rate. Usually, I don’t go for such a photo session, but I reckon it is necessary for this instance. It makes for great memories with the entire group in one photo.
Also, they give you fun tips on how to hang like Spider-Man and do other poses, which, in the end, turn out to be amazing photos.
Antalya’s upside-down house sure is a fun place to go with a group of friends.
Address: Altıntaş mah, Kardeş Kentler Cd. no 15, 07400 Aksu/Antalya.
La Casa Loca is located in Guatavita, about 70 km from Colombia’s capital, the colorful city of Bogotá.
Tourists are head over heels for La Casa Loca, one of Colombia’s latest attractions. The project, in the village of Santa Maria de Guatavita, took two years to complete. La Casa Loca was inaugurated on January 8, 2022.

The park is usually open 24 hours, so there is no reason to miss this popular and creative attraction.
The Park was renovated, taken over by the Taiwan Cultural-Creative Development Co. Ltd., renamed Huashan 1914, and put under its management in 2007. Since then, a naturally creative environment has been developing. The main creative arts hub in Taipei nowadays is Huashan 1914, which also acts as the venue for the biggest cultural events in Taiwan. Examples include the BiBo student design expo and the Simple Life music festival. Huashan 1914 serves as a link to a distinctive architectural heritage and the beating creative center of Taiwan today.

The Radailiai Upside-Down House sits inside the grounds of Dino Park Radailiai, about 7 km outside Klaipeda in Lithuania. So, practically speaking, you enter the Dino Park area first.
