Travelling? Take the opportunity to explore

Discover countries differently with urban exploration

 

Don’t want to take an all-inclusive holiday or go on yet another group tour? Urban and rural exploration can be combined with a holiday or business trip abroad.

Urbex is also an opportunity to discover the history and culture of a country in a different way. Each country has its own history which is reflected in these urbex.

Germany : a trip to the remains of the Second World War

Germany has a long industrial history and there are many disused factories that can be explored.

There are also many abandoned administrative buildings in Germany, including hospitals, prisons, schools and military bases that were abandoned after the war or German reunification. These buildings can provide an interesting insight into German history and practices of the time.

If you are interested in history and particularly in the period of the Second World War, Germany is full of urbex where key figures of this period such as Adolph Hitler once set foot. German or Soviet military barracks, hospitals and clinics, we guarantee you a trip back in time 80 years.

Italy : a journey through unique architecture

Italy is full of urbex with baroque architecture. Medieval castles, Renaissance villas, baroque palaces, disused factories and abandoned hospitals. Often very colourful places will delight explorers and photographers in search of unique abandoned places.

Belgium : a journey into heavy industry

There are also many abandoned factories in Belgium, such as the steel factories in Charleroi, the textile factories in Verviers, the chemical factories in Gilly, and the glass factories in La Louvière. These factories offer an interesting insight into Belgium’s industrial history

Unfortunate in economy but consequently happy in urbex, Belgium is one of the countries in Europe with the most abandoned places. A lot of factories as we said, but also houses and farms, the diversity of the country’s urbex places promises a trip that is worth it.

France : a trip to Castles-land

France is already known for its large number of castles and as this is one of EasyUrbex’s best-known playgrounds, we can tell you that there are many that are abandoned. These beautiful vestiges frozen in time will delight all kind of explorers. There is as much variety in the French landscape as in its abandoned places!

Japan : a trip to the land of the haikyos

We all know the advantages of travelling to Japan: the offbeat culture, the food, the landscapes, the manga, the arcades… But if you venture outside the cities, you’ll realise that Japan is a little treasure trove of abandoned places. A time and culture slap is guaranteed! And more importantly, Japan has the best preserved urbex in the world.

Ukraine : a trip to an atomic desert

If you love history and are intrigued by Soviet architecture, Ukraine is the place to be. Dive into the incredible abandoned city of Prypiat. You will discover a setting that is both austere and frozen in the 1980s.

The Netherlands : a trip to the cosmopolitan country

The reputation of the Netherlands, and Amsterdam in particular, is well known, but it is less well known that the country has some quality urbex to explore, especially for old car fanatics: the Netherlands has the most beautiful abandoned garages in the world!

Portugal : a trip to the most beautiful beaches in Europe

Not far from the fine sand of the Portuguese beaches are many abandoned palaces and luxury hotels. A good opportunity to combine the pleasure of relaxing by the sea with the pleasure of exploring quality urbex.
