    Trier. I've walked by almost exactly that spot but I still wouldn't have got it without the hint.

    EDIT: The original photo, the Karl Marx House, I definitely did walk by.

    I will say Bonn with the idea that maybe Beethoven lived in that house with the plaque on the wall.

    This should narrow it down a lot: the location is in Europe and is tax exempt.

    In terms of what we were told (European low tax countries) I checked images of aquariums (aquaria?) in such places as I could identify, in most cases they had an aquarium or oceanarium but images did not match for Malta, Gibraltar, Montenegro, Cyprus, Monaco, Luxembourg, or Isle of Man. So I would need more help, unless one of those is correct and I couldn't find the match.

    I don't want to name the country as that would probably give the location away immediately. The place is VAT and excise duty exempt but the country it's in is definitely not a tax haven.

    It's tax situation is roughly equivalent to the Canary Islands.

    Not the Åland Islands. It's further south.

    It is an island but it's VERY small.

    Yes Helgoland is correct.

    It's one of two VAT exempt places in Germany, the other being the exclave of Büsingen in Switzerland.

    Great minds, MT :)

    That was great, VG, never even heard of Helgoland. Fair play, feargale and Kev, glad that's been solved after a week of increasing frustration: (
