Europe’s Most Unusual Tourist Attractions

Church of Bones, Czech Republic
Sedlec Ossuary in the Czech Republic is a macabre, fascinating and sometimes a little off-putting experience. The Ossuary is made of up around 40,000 human bones skilfully arranged throughout, with some dating back to the 13th century.

Memento Park, Hungary
Just outside of Budapest, this eclectic park is filled with gigantic statues and unique mementos from the Communist era, dating from between 1945 and 1989. There are exhibitions, tours and lots of interesting relics from a period in history that most want to forget.

Eisriesenwelt Ice Cave, Austria
It’s hard not to be impressed with the largest ice cave in the world, especially when it’s so very pretty. The cave is so big there is a lift, but you’ll still be puffing by the time you explore it. And it’s so cold inside, that even in the middle of summer you’ll need to arrive prepared!

Chernobyl, Ukraine
With new tours opening up of the Chernobyl disaster site all the time, you can feel like you’re in every end-of-world film you can think of. Overgrown nature, crumbling buildings and an explosion of (radioactive-free) animals as well. And yes, apparently it’s safe to visit…

Museo Atlàntico, Spain
Located in the Canary Islands off Spain, this is Europe’s first underwater museum and it’s eerily beautiful. Made up of hundreds of life-size statues submerged at a depth of 12 metres, covering 2,500-square-metres. You can explore it by snorkelling or diving, or even from a glass-bottom boat.
