Krk, Croatia Hotels come and go, but not all of them were as luxurious as the Haludovo Palace on Croatia’s largest island, Krk. Despite being abandoned for more than three decades, you can still see its past opulence in the modern exterior and massive (now drained) pool. The property was opened in 1972, and Penthouse magazine founder Bob Guccione w...
Luková, Czechia Get ready, this one is a bit spooky. Abandoned in 1968, St. George’s Churchstill stands and currently houses a whole crew of “ghosts.” But the story of why it was deserted only adds to the story of its current tenants. The structure was first built in the 14th century to serve the local community in this town about 120 miles east of...
South Tyrol, Italy There’s a good chance you’ve seen a photo of this eerie bell tower on Instagram. Half-submerged in water, it’s a mark of the valley that used to exist before a large dam was created to support the local hydroelectric company and merged two natural bodies of water: Mittersee and Reschensse. In addition to the two lakes becoming on...
Sydney, Australia
During the 20th century, Sydney’s Homebush Bay served as an industrial port and was filled with ships that transported coal and oil. But when the area’s industrial operations declined toward the end of the century, the bay became a “ship-breaking ground” for decommissioned vessels. Today, you can still see some of the abandoned freighters across Homebush Bay, including the SSAyrfield, a 1911 vessel that carried supplies to U.S. troops in the Pacific region during World War II. The boat was de...
Uyuni, Bolivia
Located high in the Andean plains of southwest Bolivia, the small city of Uyuni is known for its proximity to the world’s largest salt flat, Salar de Uyuni. But the area is also home to another unique attraction: a “train cemetery” (known as cementerio de trenesin Spanish) scattered with abandoned locomotives that date back to the 19th century. These massive steel trains were imported to the region as part of plans to develop a railway system that would transfer minerals from Uyuni to cities...
Turda, Romania
This colossal mine dates all the way back to the Middle Ages. Located in Transylvania, the hollowed underground space was the site of table salt production for hundreds of years until excavations eventually ended in the early 20th century. Since 1932, the cavern has been used for several purposes, including as a warehouse for cheese storage and a bomb shelter during World War II. In 1992, Salina Turdawas repurposed again—this time as both a museum of salt mining and a subterranean amusement p...
North Jutland, Denmark
The Rubjerg Knude Lighthouse sits on a towering sand dune nearly 200 feet above Denmark’s North Sea. When it was first lit in 1900, the lighthouse was hundreds of feet from the Atlantic coastline. But over time, wind and sea erosion changed the landscape and turned the area around the lighthouse into sand dunes. The Rubjerg Knude Lighthouse shut down in 1968 but served as a museum and coffee shop from 1980 until 2002, when rising sands ultimately forced it to be abandoned completely. In Octob...
New York City
New York City’s first subway station—which opened below City Hall in 1904—was adorned with vaulted ceilings, intricate tilework, and elegant chandeliers. The grandiose platform served commuters until 1945 but was shuttered after the majority of New Yorkers eventually opted to use nearby rail stations with more efficient express tracks. Today, the New York Transit Museum leads exclusive guided toursof the defunct City Hall station for $50 per person. You have to become a museum member for the...
Matera, Italy
Founded precariously on a steep hilltop in southern Italyduring the 8th century, the medieval village of Craco has fallen victim to several disasters, including earthquakes, landslides, and devastating plagues. In 1991, a landslide forced all of Craco’s remaining residents to evacuate, leaving the site in a state of slow ruin. While the village is now entirely uninhabited, visitors can marvel at the Basilicata region ghost town on daily tours led by authorized guides at the welcome center—no...
South Shetland Islands, Antarctica
Deception Island is more than a water-surrounded landmass in Antarctica’s South Shetland Islands; it’s also an active volcano. In the early 20th century, the caldera served as a base for whaling operations, but it was abandoned many times—first in 1931 due to a slump in whale oil prices, and later in 1969 because of disruptive volcanic eruptions. Rusted tanks and boilers still scatter the Antarctic island alongside deteriorating research stations, beached boats, and a cemetery honoring worker...
