While we travel in metal boxes every day, up and down our building, some of us feeling a little claustrophobic. We often visualize the beautiful and unique elevators in the world, some of which we see only in films: the glass capsules, external elevators, etc. There are several exceptional elevators. Let us take a look at 10 Unique Elevators in the World.

Luxor Hotel Inclined Elevator
The Luxor Hotel is located in Las Vegas, the land of strange hotels . It has an iconic construction of a pyramid, for which it is often referred to as the Pyramid Hotel in Las Vegas, and it has elevators that ascend and descend on an incline of 39 degrees. Because of the level floor, the elevators give a normal riding experience, apart from a brief sensation, making it perfect for every kind of rider.
4.
Rising Tide Elevator
The Rising Tide Elevator is located in the MS Oasis of the Seas, the largest cruise ship in the world. It is the only elevator that is combined to serve as a bar, as well. The elevator connects the Central Park deck of the ship to its Royal Promenade, with 35 patrons/passengers riding it. The two-storey trip in the elevator takes 8 min, which provides enough time for enjoying a perfectly made cocktail.
3.
Autostadt Silos
The Autostadt Silos is located in Wolfsburg, Germany, next to the home base of Volkswagen. It is a car garage in multiple levels, but involves no driving. A conveyer belt carries a finished car in the Volkswagen factory down an underground tunnel of half a mile to one of the silos of 200 feet, to be picked by the elevator, and placed in an open slot. This elevator system does not require driving.
2.
Falkirk Wheel
The Falkirk Wheel is a one-of-a-kind elevator in Falkirk, Scotland. It is a rotating boat lift, connecting the Union Canal and the Forth and Clyde Canal, and transporting boats between them, thus serving as a lift between the canals that are 79 feet apart in height. This is the only rotating boat lift, turned by 10 hydraulic motors. The 600 ton apparatus runs, perfectly level, using only 30.2 horsepower.

AquaDom
The AquaDom at the Radisson Blu hotel in Berlin-Mitte, Germany is a Berlin Sea Life Centre attraction. It is a transparent elevator at the centre of an aquarium of 82 feet, world's largest cylindrical tank, with acrylic glass securing about 260,000 gallons of seawater and more than 1,500 different fish of 97 species which are fed about 18 pounds of food every day by three to four divers. There are many more unique elevators in the world, moving up and down the tallest of buildings in the world, offering a great view to the riders, and making them feel on top of the world. In fact, a trip in any of these elevators is nothing short of a joyride.
