34 of the Most Amazing and Beautiful Abandoned Places in the World

We humans are always surpassed as an uncertain, roving species due to our nature. Our quest to discover new and old are such characteristics that set us as humans apart from other living beings. The world we live in has gone through many natural disasters that have left behind some abandoned, places, cities and ghost towns which tell us things about the past in a visceral way.

There are many reasons why below towns, cities and places are abandoned. Pripyat in Ukraine for example is considered to be the worst symbol of human-caused disaster. Some abandoned cities and ghost towns have become time capsules and are almost untouched since the departure of their last residents years ago. Ghost towns in the American West are popular tourist attractions while others are abandoned or simply forgotten.

Below we’ve put together a list of some of the most amazing, beautiful and creepy abandoned places exist in our modern world.
