I don’t know about you, but my travel bug is aching to travel. But since lockdown means we cant, we have to keep that wanderlust inspired and satisfied with other means. The good thing is, certain products and software like Google Street View, 360-degree images, websites, and even virtual reality headsets like the Oculus Go allow us to walk the streets of incredible sites throughout the world virtually. This time around, I was stunned to discover that the Catacombs in Paris and other fun yet creepy sites around the world are offering free virtual tours on their website.

So if you’re curious about specific dark tourist sites throughout the world, keep on reading because these creepy sites are sure to entice your curiosity.

There are over 2 million skeletons in a mass grave under the city of Love. Even though this tourist attraction is closed because of the coronavirus, their website is currently enticing you to do their virtual tour for free.

The Crypt Gallery in London, England

The Crypt Gallery in London is an edgy art gallery set in a real crypt underground. They hold events and art shows regularly. You can also rent the space for a special occasion. 

This dark, dingy and creepy space is currently closed because of the coronavirus, but you can now take a virtual tour. I did it. It’s so amazing. I’m surprised I’ve never heard of it before. Next time I’m in London you better believe I’m attending an art show in a crypt. 

Head on over to The Crypt Gallery for its virtual tour.

The Sedlec Ossuary in the Czech Republic (AKA The Bone Church)

Ever since I heard of the Bone Church in the Czech Republic, it’s been on my list of places to visit. 

Every time I see pictures from other travel bloggers, I get jealous. When I discovered that the Bone Church has a virtual tour, I was so excited I viewed it right away. Although I’m not there in person, it really gives me a proper feel for what it’s like. Now, I really need to see it in person.

I should mention that this virtual tour is created with interactive 360-degree images. It’s a little tricky to navigate, but eventually you’ll figure it out. If you press the wrong arrow on the image, it takes you to the street. Nevertheless, it’s an incredible virtual journey everyone has to see.

Pripyat and Chernobyl 

Ever wanted to explore the abandoned city of Pripyat and Chornobyl? This creepy abandoned city is available through tour groups, if you’re ever interested in visiting in person. But, since the world is closed due to Covid-19, we can partake in a virtual tour.

This part of the world has attracted dark tourists from around the planet. It created lore, horror movies, and perhaps it’s inhabited by demonic forces. So why not visit virtually before we step into the devil’s playground in real life.

Let me break it down for you:

I don’t know about you, but these dark tourist sites always excite me. They’re different and unusual. They’ll make for an unforgettable trip, but most importantly, they tickle our curiosity.

Until we can get back out in the world and explore more gay and unique sites in person, let’s fill our wanderlust with virtual tours.
