About Urban Exploration
Urbex Planet is a community-driven map and platform for urban exploration and discovering abandoned places. Browse curated urban exploration locations (aka urbex locations), contribute your own pins, and connect with explorers.
Use the map to filter by category, status, and popularity. Whether you are looking for industrial ruins, historic sites, or modern derelict structures, you can find inspiration for your next trip.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is urban exploration (urbex)?
Urban exploration is the practice of discovering and documenting man‑made structures — often abandoned, offbeat, or hidden — like factories, hospitals, tunnels, or ghost towns. Urbex Planet provides a community map and tools to explore responsibly.
Do you have an urban exploration map?
Yes. Our interactive urbex map shows abandoned places worldwide with filters for category and status. Open the Urbex Map to search coordinates, city names, or browse popular categories.
Is urbex legal?
Laws vary by region. Always follow local laws and respect property rights. Our platform does not condone trespassing and encourages exploring legally accessible places only.
How are locations added?
Locations are added by the community. Members submit pins with photos and details. Visibility rules ensure sensitive places can be limited to members or verified explorers.
How current is the map?
Editors and community members update statuses (active, demolished, renovated) regularly. Demolished pins are auto‑purged based on retention settings to keep the map fresh.
