Team Vine took it in a landslide this week, 61% of the vote for a 1904 door wrapped in wrought-iron vines. Goddess and Shell fought it out for second. New theme just went up: Miami street art doors from Wynwood Walls. Come vote.
Wynwood Walls treats doors as canvas real estate, same as the walls around them. Three candidates this week: a Tomokazu Matsuyama botanical piece from 2018, a Neo-Tokyo pop culture mashup, and a door framed by a Paradise Lost quote over skulls and a motorcycle.

This set of doors has street art that pays tribute to the Carnation Revolution in Portugal.
I definitely had to look harder to find doors to photograph in Helsingborg, Sweden than I did in Helsingør, Denmark even though the two are separated by just a short ferry ride. However, the doors are definitely there if you put in the work!
I love everything about this door except the unavoidable sign inside that always creeps into my photos.
Helsingør is a relatively small city in Denmark (less than 70,000 people). Best known for the castle that inspired Hamlet, Helsingør is also home to an incredible density of beautiful doors. Sharing a collection of photos I took on my trip.
Pretty doors were a bit hard to find here, but I like these three.
Spotted these posh gems on a walk through Fitzrovia and Marylebone.
Three Jugendstil doors from Wiesbaden's turn-of-the-century residential streets are in this week's competition. A stained glass shell fanlight, an allegorical goddess in the plasterwork, and sinuous botanical ironwork from 1904. Which one takes it? https://doors.sidewalksafari.com/vote-for-the-best-art-nouveau-door-in-wiesbaden-germany/
Team Starburst took it with 49% of the vote, Team Wedgwood came second at 35%, and Team Gothic finished third at 16%. Thanks for voting. New competition is live in Wiesbaden this week.
Sharing a selection of eclectic doors spotted on my winter trip to Munich earlier this year.
Sharing a few doors that I spotted in Little Havana and at the Wynwood Walls in Miami, Florida, USA.

I complete forgot to post the door of the month for June 2026 here \o/. Let me rectify that now. I visited Venice in May and fell in love with portae de acqua (aka Venetian water doors).
Three colorful doors from a day trip to Lüneburg — a medieval brick city about 50km from Hamburg with some surprisingly vivid doors tucked along its lanes. A Wedgwood blue baroque door in a Gothic arch, a periwinkle door with ornate iron fanlight, and a deep teal door with a brass hand knocker. Which door gets your vote?

Last week's whimsical doors of Hamburg competition had a clear winner: Team Moongate pulled ahead with 54% of the vote, leaving Team Porthole at 31% and Team Marzipan at 13%. Thanks for voting! New competition is live — this week we're in Lüneburg.
Further evidence that Porto doors have great vibes. Took this batch on my trip to Northern Portugal last year for Porto's craft beer festival.
New week, new theme: whimsical doors of Hamburg. Team Porthole has an oval lattice window set in Art Nouveau stucco, Team Marzipan is a pistachio green entry under a curved green canopy, and Team Moongate is a circular brick portal topped with a water lily frieze.
