This Map Shows You Every Single Weird Place You Can Visit in the World

Anyone who visits Atlas Obscura knows one thing – they specialise in the weird, the wonderful and the downright crazy. That’s why they’ve spent the last eight years (woof) plotting the most culturally curious spots in the world.

Point of the map? Not too long ago the much-loved website passed a noteworthy milestone by reviewing a whopping 10,000 sites on The Atlas.
To celebrate, the guys and gals who work at the website plonked all the 10,000 attractions onto one map – locations and descriptions included for us savvy travellers. Essentially, the map beats every single guidebook hands down, and you can even use it on your mobile too. SCORE!

So what kind of weird stuff is on the map? The Museum of Celebrity Leftovers in England (yes, you read that correctly), an abandoned ghost village in France, a Spacecraft Cemetery in New Zealand, the Tree Goats of Morocco – you get the gist, right?
From Madagascar to England, the USA to Iceland and beyond, there are loads of quirky attractions to fuel your wanderlust for oodles of years to come.

Since you are here, we would like to share our vision for the future of travel - and the direction Culture Trip is moving in.

Culture Trip launched in 2011 with a simple yet passionate mission: to inspire people to go beyond their boundaries and experience what makes a place, its people and its culture special and meaningful — and this is still in our DNA today. We are proud that, for more than a decade, millions like you have trusted our award-winning recommendations by people who deeply understand what makes certain places and communities so special.

Increasingly we believe the world needs more meaningful, real-life connections between curious travellers keen to explore the world in a more responsible way. That is why we have intensively curated a collection of premium small-group trips as an invitation to meet and connect with new, like-minded people for once-in-a-lifetime experiences in three categories: Culture Trips, Rail Trips and Private Trips. Our Trips are suitable for both solo travelers, couples and friends who want to explore the world together.

Culture Trips are deeply immersive 5 to 16 days itineraries, that combine authentic local experiences, exciting activities and 4-5* accommodation to look forward to at the end of each day. Our Rail Trips are our most planet-friendly itineraries that invite you to take the scenic route, relax whilst getting under the skin of a destination. Our Private Trips are fully tailored itineraries, curated by our Travel Experts specifically for you, your friends or your family.

We know that many of you worry about the environmental impact of travel and are looking for ways of expanding horizons in ways that do minimal harm - and may even bring benefits. We are committed to go as far as possible in curating our trips with care for the planet. That is why all of our trips are flightless in destination, fully carbon offset - and we have ambitious plans to be net zero in the very near future.
