3- Paris's Apple Store

Paris's apple store is one of my favorite stores, the company opened this store in 2010 in a building that contained previously a bank which mean that this store will not be a problem for visitors to find especially it's located in front of the Opera in Paris.
Also what make this store one of the most beautiful apple stores is that the company choose to keep its old and original architectural details such as the Marble columns and the mosaic floors.

5- Berlin's Apple Store

This one will make you remember Paris's apple store, but the difference is Berlin's store is not located in front of the Opera, No, this store is built inside the Opera.
Yes inside the opera (which has been built in 1913) apple decided to build its store, that's why this one is considered as an artistic masterpiece, especially because it is located in an historic building.

In 2010 in London apple opened one of the biggest apple stores in the world with 3 floors and more than 300 worker which is located at Covent Garden

8- Shanghai Apple Store

I call this one "The Mac Pro Store" because it's designed like a mac pro, also it's considered as one of the most beautiful and elegant apple stores in the world and I agree with this. Apple built this store in Pudong, Shanghai city, his cylindrical design which is very similar to the new Mac Pro is a patent for apple.

9- Hong Kong Apple Store

As you see in the photos this store is in the air, why? I will answer you. Apple opened this store in Hong Kong in 2011 In the center of the International Finance Corporation (IFC) and it's located between two big Skyscrapers, this store has an elegant and beautiful glass design.

12- Louvre Apple Store

The most unique thing in this store is the glass, yes the most of this store is made from glass. I think that apple took this decision because its store is located near the Louvre Pyramid in Paris. This store opened its doors for the first time in June 2008.

13- Ginza District Apple Store (In Tokyo)

This one has a lot and lot of features and positive points that make it the best, it's also one of the tallest apple stores in the world with 4 stories tall. Apple open this store in November 2003 inside an old building (built in 1965) and it's considered as the first Apple store outside the U.S.
Maybe you ask if it's opened since 2003 what happen to this store in the Earthquake? it's an amazing story, In March 2011 earthquake this store didn't close its doors, NO, it stayed open and also helped peoples to call their friends, families (to say goodbye, help me, I love you... or anything anyone want to say for the last time) and also allow peoples during this earthquake to use the WiFi for Free to see the news, use social media websites, write the last tweet on twitter or the last thing on Facebook, or check their emails.

Miami Apple Store or known as Miami Lincoln Road Store is one of the small number of apple stores that don't have the classic white logo, this one has a blue apple logo and as you can notice the company want to make this store similar to the Art Deco Architectural Style in Miami. So if you're planning to visit Miami this summer, Miami's apple store must be in your plannings list.
