Atlas Obscura: An Explorer's Guide to the World's Hidden Wonders

This revised second edition has been updated to include over 100
incredible new places that members of our community have shared with us
since the first edition of this book was published in 2016. We’ve also added
a foldout map depicting our idea of the world’s most amazing (and longest)
road trip. Though Atlas Obscura may have the trappings of a travel guide, it
is in truth something else. The site, and this book, are a kind of
wunderkammer of places, a cabinet of curiosities that is meant to inspire
wonderlust as much as wanderlust. In fact, many of the places in this book
are in no way “tourist sites” and should not be treated as such. Others are so
out of the way, so treacherously situated, or (in at least one case) so deep
beneath the surface, that few readers will ever be able to visit them. But
here they are, sharing this marvelously strange planet with us.
