Urban exploration is exactly what the name implies, exploring urban (and not so urban) sites. We mainly explore abandoned sites (like empty factories, abandoned houses, old hospitals, militairy places and other forgotten buildings/places). It’s important to know that we aren’t burglars or squatters, we just enter those buildings to explore them. We never force ourselves a way in. Most abandoned buildings have got doors forced by previous visitors, collapsed walls and rusty locks that can also provide a way in. There is a strange atmosphere in most abandoned buildings, and you never know who/what you are going to meet/find. Don’t get me wrong, I am not encouraging you to start urban exploring. Trespassing is still illegal and abandoned buildings are mostly quite dangerous to enter. At least, if you are able to enter before they* find you.
