Wunderland by Rafal Milach

The commerical center Excalibur City at the Austrian-Czech border has been opened in mid 90-ties. It used to be one of the biggest duty free zones in the region. After the EU enlargement in 2004 duty free zones were closed. Excalibur City survived due to locatlization at the Czech territory and keeping low "Czech" prices of alcohol, cigarettes and other goods. Reminding cheap replica of Las Vegas, Excalibur City is eagerly visited by Austrian citizens.
