Established by the Germans in 1940, the compound contained over 40 concentration and extermination camps. It\u2019s a site of atrocities, with prisoners of war subjected to starvation, beatings, and medical experiments during World War II. Tours around Auschwitz are so popular that we recommend you book one a month in advance. Your guide-educator will take you through the buildings within the compound, including the prisoner barracks and the ruins of the gas chamber.<br \/>\n<em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.auschwitz.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Auschwitz<\/a>, Wiezniow Oswiecimia 20, 32-603 Oswiecim, Poland<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>2.

Creepy, but so cool at the same time. Tours are available, though some people recommend going on your own so you get ample space to yourself. Don\u2019t worry about getting lost because it\u2019ll be a straight path.

The organisation has taken over the original house where she went into hiding, which fully immerses you into what her life was like. You\u2019ll find videos, photos, and even some original items belonging to Anne Frank.

It\u2019s home to several toxic and narcotic plants that are behind iron gates that only open during guided tours. Plants are kept within giant cages (but is it for the plant\u2019s protection or yours?), and some are even locked away. Remember not to touch or sniff anything, or you\u2019ll be one of the unfortunate souls who end up fainting during your visit.<br \/>\n<em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.alnwickgarden.com\/the-garden\/poison-garden\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">The Alnwick Poison Garden<\/a>, Denwick Lane, Alnwick NE66 1FJ, United Kingdom<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>5.

Its name is synonymous with danger and inhumanity, imprisoning several notorious criminals. After its shutdown in 1963, it was transformed into a national park and historic site to preserve its historical significance. To explore the island and its key sites like the lighthouse and garden, you\u2019ll need to take a ferry. If you\u2019re easily spooked, opt for the day tour.

After Mount Vesuvius\u2019 eruption in 79 AD, it left Pompeii covered by volcanic ash. While disastrous, the ash preserved the city, leaving it in almost pristine condition, relics and paintings included. Not to mention the remains of a little over 1,000 bodies too. Covered in calcified layers of ash, hollow forms of citizens\u2019 bodies were found, showing what their last moments looked like. Using the spaces as moulds, plaster casts of the victims\u2019 bodies have been created and displayed. Despite the dark nature, Pompeii\u2019s history is incredibly enthralling and the site is more than worth a visit.<br \/>\n<em><a href=\"https:\/\/pompeiisites.org\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Pompeii Archaeological Park<\/a>, Metropolitan City of Naples, 80045 Pompei, Italy<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>7.
