Those road signs (red triangle and yellow diamond) are used in many countries I think. This is very thin soup indeed but the serif on the 1 looks fairly Dutch to me!
― Tim, Thursday, 27 August 2020 08:31 (three years ago) link
There's a distinctive structure on the right behind the ramp, looks like a stadium maybe.

The dutch priority road ends sign has a striped not solid bar.

Lisbon? The bus station is right next to the Sporting Lisbon stadium and it kinda looks like the roof of that just in pic on the right?

xp Good one - I didn't even notice that sign hiding at the back there.
― Tim, Thursday, 27 August 2020 08:58 (three years ago) link
The apartments don't feel right for Lisbon, but I'm getting football stadium roof vibes too
― cherry blossom, Thursday, 27 August 2020 09:04 (three years ago) link
Either a stadium or some kind of bridge.
The red bus sign brackets say central / Eastern Europe to me but idk.

Have just gone down a rabbit hole looking at street sign typefaces of European countries and that 11 looks pretty Germanic to me or maybe middle European

Because of the yellow diamond road sign and the design of the apartment blocks, I'm hazarding a guess at the Netherlands, perhaps Rotterdam?

I was thinking Prague but I can't find exactly where it would be.
― Joey Corona (Euler), Thursday, 27 August 2020 10:53 (three years ago) link
Welp, if it's not France then my next guess is Lisbon, only because the paving stones look like an approximation of that city's typical masonry patterns. But idk otherwise, it does look like a glimpse of a Euro megafootball stadium there ya

I dunno, I find it hard to imagine those noticeboards with tattered "take one" strips at the bottom in the bus stops attached to stadium, or what look like pasted-up photocopied flyers/ posters for events - they have more of the feel of a university or hospital or something.

the streetlights

they match prague pretty well though i doubt they're unique to there.

Czech Republic fails the "Ledge Test", as it's become known, by having a striped not solid bar on its priority road ends sign.
― Tim, Thursday, 27 August 2020 12:59 (three years ago) link
Well done Euler, it's Prague. Černý Most Metro Station to be precise.
― Anti-Cop Ponceortium (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Thursday, 27 August 2020 13:00 (three years ago) link
Apparently the "Ledge Test" is flawed
Here are my other photos from Prague 03/04, there is another view of the station immediately after this one, wonder if it would"ve been easier or harder.https://haonowshaokao.com/2015/03/01/prague-2003-2004/

The "football stadium" is actually the perspex cover of the raised metro line

here's a sign with a striped bar, maybe they were changed after 2003-4?

That page is the rabbit hole I've been down for a chunk of today. Comparing the morphology of figure 1s was a particular high point.

I've seen some pretty intense guides that serious geoguessr players have written up regarding road signs, road markings, bollard types, crash barrier styles, distance markers etc etc etc that could be very useful too, but sadly don't have any links saved.

Its not Whitley Bay! Too early to be giving any more hints other than what can be determined in the picture itself though!

I have picked up nothing worth having, past being fairly certain this is in the UK somewhere (I mean, if you told me it was Ireland I wouldn't be utterly amazed) (I suppose this goes for all the little islands as well but you know what I mean). Doesn't look rocky enough for Cornwall. I'd expect more red stone if it was Devon. It might be the power of NV's suggestion but somewhere on the east coast seems a fair guess.
I can't even work out what that tower is supposed to be: a windmill that's had a chimney built on to it?
― Tim, Monday, 31 August 2020 10:55 (three years ago) link
I'm not convinced this is a city
― Zelda Zonk, Monday, 31 August 2020 11:20 (three years ago) link
Hmm, this is correct - it isn't a city. I may have made this one too difficult

road markings surely confirm it's uk or Ireland. I would say this feels like the south west somewhere.

Tim's suggestion that it's an old windmill seems plausible. It's looks more like that than an old defensive tower to me.

Trying to make out the station sign on the far left but it's no easy task. The last few letters could be CIA or CLE, something like that.

Can't be that many small UK towns with rail lines running along the coast. I mean, too many for me to be bothered to check them all out, but still...
― Zelda Zonk, Tuesday, 1 September 2020 09:56 (three years ago) link
it makes me think of all those little towns on that line along the south coast between hove and portsmouth, landscape and buildings look wrong though. this does not look like a resort.
