Urban Exploration

Urban exploration is the discovery and documentation of abandoned places. It also includes the hobbies of draining (exploring storm drains and other tunnels), and rooftopping (exploring the roofs of tall buildings, cranes, or other structures that usually aren't abandoned). It is distinct from the practice of looting or tagging (graffiti), in that most urban explorers do not cause damage to the places they visit.

This wiki serves as a knowledge base of methods and locations of urban exploring. Please note that exploring abandoned buildings is a dangerous and possibly illegal activity, and that you do so at your own risk.
