Urban Exploration Places Map
Urban Exploration in the USA:
Philadelphia Penitentiary
Bring a fully charged phone or camera! The place is super photogenic and I wished I had captured more moments but my battery died too soon.
Check the weather! I assumed it would be mild but ended up caught in a storm. Plan ahead and dress for the weather to enjoy your visit fully.
Bodie Ghost Town
Don't forget to wear sturdy shoes! The ground can be uneven, and I definitely regretted my flip-flops later in the day.
Michigan Central Station
Central Railroad of New Jersey Terminal
I suggest grabbing a coffee at the cute little café inside before you explore. It really helps set the mood and gives you a nice little boost. Plus sitting in that historic setting is pretty cool.
My advice is to check out the little gift shop before you leave. They have some unique memorabilia that you won't find anywhere else. I should've bought a few souvenirs, but I didn’t realize until I was already out the door!
Roosevelt Island Smallpox Hospital
I recommend visiting during the late afternoon, around 4 PM, for the best lighting for photos and to avoid the crowds. It felt way more serene and spooky as the sun was setting!
