Savannah Pirates and Treasure Museum in Savannah, GA
|
Embark on an adventure like no other at this most nautical of museums, where authentic artifacts and multimedia exhibits combine to bring the history of crime on the high seas to life. Located in City Market, the museum speaks to Savannah’s rich maritime history, including the motley crew of marauders that once filled its ports. It’s also right below the Savannah Prohibition Museum, making it the perfect spot for history buffs to take in different periods of the city’s past in one day. Visitors can engage with interpretive panels and audio recordings that reveal the nitty gritty details of pirate life or peruse primary documents to discover the secrets of history’s most infamous voyages. Real weapons, treasures, and tools—including Spanish coins from the El Cazador shipwreck and five carats of emeralds from the Atocha—immerse you in the Golden Age of Piracy. The museum’s strikingly life-like wax figures also allow you to meet (or even strike a pose with) heroes and scoundrels alike. An interactive map shows how pirate history has unfolded around the world; however, the museum places special focus on Savannah’s own pirate ties, including the exploits of Captain Caleb Davis, an infamous smuggler and privateer with Georgia ties. Women pirates such as Anne Bonny and Mary Read are also highlighted, dispelling the misconception that only men could find fortunes on the high seas. After brushing up on your history, you can drop anchor and grab a drink at the on-site Pirates Tavern. With its barrels of ale, wood-beamed ceilings, skulls, ropes, and more, it feels like entering into a real buccaneer’s bar—without the perils, thankfully. It even serves up time-tested pirate recipes, including “Hard Tack,” a rock-hard cracker just as salty as the sea. The bartending ne’er-do-wells, Scarlett Redd and John Boy, sling up brews, wines, and themed cocktails like West Indian Rum Punch, and may even treat you to a traditional sea shanty or two. If the pirate’s life is for you, round off your visit with a toast, and pop into the gift store for your booty.

‘Three Figures’ in London, England
|
Over the breadth and scope of London, there are hundreds, if not thousands, of statues. Some depict the heroic efforts of individuals while others memorialize great thinkers or innovators. Still there are a handful of sculptures that honor a moment in time in the capital's rich and varied history. This best describes a grouping of figures along a side street in the Mayfair district. This piece is entitled, "Three Figures' and is the work of British sculptor Neal French (1933- ). It depicts a photographer, a model, and a curious passerby. The photographer is the renowned filmmaker Terence Donovan (1936 - 1996), whose studio is located nearby at 30 Bourdon Street. The model is Dame Lesley Lawson, (1949 - ) better known as Twiggy. The other figure is symbolic of the everyman. This figurative sculpture was commissioned by Grosvenor Estate in 2012, it was to inaugurate their offices on nearby Grosvenor Hill. The piece was meant to reflect the areas impact on the 'Swinging Sixties', a youth led cultural revolution that was integral to London during the 1960's. This movement was highly influential in the areas of music and fashion. This is mirrored in the choice of the subject matter. Twiggy was the "It-Girl" of the time, the poster child of this Mod youth led movement. She is depicted with her iconic pixie cut short hair and wearing a minidress in the style of Dame Mary Quant, (1930 -2023). This grouping of statues is apart of a sculptural art trail that includes works by Henry Moore, (1889 - 1986) and other contemporary artists.

Match Museum in Väster, Sweden
|
Jönköping was once known as Sweden's "Match City" ("Tändsticksstaden") because for over a century that was its most famous export. At one point, a third of the town's workforce was employed in this single industry. Although many might consider matchsticks to be a dull subject, it is clear the residents of this city disagree, as they have turned part of the former Jönköpings Tändsticksfabrik factory into a museum dedicated to them. It is one of only three such museums in the world. The Match Museum tells the story of matchmaking in Jönköping, which dates back to 1845, as well as across the world. Svenska Tändsticksaktiebolaget, which owned all of Sweden's match factories, once controlled 60-70% of the world's match market. The museum has preserved match-making machines and has opportunities to make one' own matchboxes. There is also a collection of thousands of matchboxes and labels, some of which can be purchased in the gift shop. Surrounding the museum, the Jönköpings Tändsticksfabrik factory as a whole is the world's only completely preserved historic match factory. It is now home to bars, restaurants, nightclubs, and even a theater and hotel.

Himeji Castle Shrine in Himeji, Japan
|
Religion and tradition are deeply connected in Japanese culture, especially with Shintoism where hundreds of not thousands of gods rule over various things. In this case, a spirit looking over Himeji castle is worshiped in the castle itself. The shrine, which is located at the top floor of the castle is dedicated to Osakabehime, a spirit or yokai who is said to be a lonely kitsune, or an illegitimate child of the princess, or an angry courtesan who met her end at the hands of the lord. While this is not known, it is generally agreed that the spirit hates people and stays away from them as much as it can. Only once a year does it meet the local lord to tell him if the castle will stand for another year. This event is celebrated with a festival. The shrine was always near the castle, but it was moved during the first renovation to a nearby temple. However, ever since this happened bad things occured in the castle, and the shrine was quickly moved back to the courtyard. Later during the restoration in the Showa era, the shine was moved to its current place. It still gets many donations and keeps the castle safe.

Flipper’s Grave in Marathon, Florida
|
Beneath a life-sized dolphin statue at the Dolphin Research Center in Marathon, FL lies Mitzi, the silver-screen legend who starred as the original Flipper series. Her grave, marked by a plaque honoring her as "The Original Flipper," and a larger than life sculpture, is more than a roadside oddity; it is the spiritual heart of the facility and traditionally the first stop on every tour. What makes this site truly wonderful is the living legacy that surrounds it. Rather than a just a memorial, Mitzi rests in a thriving sanctuary where many current inhabitants are the direct descendants of her co-stars. There is also a bench for visitors to relax next to Mitzi. For visitors in 2026, the grave serves as a poignant reminder of how one animal's stardom sparked a global movement for marine conservation and research.

The Great Chamber in Kanab, Utah
|
Utah’s Great Chamber, a sandstone alcove over 200 feet wide, is the awe-inspiring result of millions of years of wind and sand shaping rock. The Chamber was created when erosion ate into the side of a Navajo sandstone cliff formed from dunes 180 million years ago in the Jurassic period. The key geologic factor here is "differential erosion," in which softer rock erodes quicker than the surrounding harder rock, enabling wind and floods to scoop out a massive hollow in the cliff face. The wind also blew sand into the alcove's floor, creating a huge dune that fills much of the interior. Visitors who have returned to the Chamber years later say that the sand-scape continues to slowly change, shifting and reshaping. The smooth, pale sandstone of this cathedral-like structure changes color with the sun's angle, almost glowing in off-whites, soft pinks and yellows when the sun is brightest. Visitors have compared it to the feeling of being in a house of worship with its soaring archways and meditative aura. Photographers suggest that sunrise and sunset provide the most dramatic shadows and views over the Grand Staircase-Escalante region. Getting to the secluded Great Chamber takes a little planning. Several local guides and tour companies offer ATV and Jeep tours that make it easy to reach the Great Chamber. To go on your own, you’ll want a high-clearance, four-wheel drive vehicle to get to the Cutler Point access area. Some visitors even make it a day-trip from Zion National Park. After that, you’ll make the final climb on foot, so consider high boots or hiking sandals and plenty of water; the deep sand and incline can make the hike somewhat strenuous. (It’s at a 6,700-foot elevation, after all.)

Reichsburg Cochem in Cochem, Germany
|
Reichsburg Cochem is a hilltop castle in Germany’s Mosel River Valley. It sits on a hill that over looks the city and the neighboring Mosel River. Several vineyards sit along the hillside of the castle and the river which grow the grapes to make the the Riesling wine that the area is famous for. The castle was built in 1130 and in 1151, King Konrad III occupied the castle and declared it an "Imperial Castle". It was later destroyed by French troops in 1689 during the Nine Years' War and afterwards it sat in ruins for nearly two centuries. In 1868 it was rebuilt in the Neo-Gothic style by German businessman Louis Fredric Ravené. During WWII, ownership of the castle was transferred to the German government and following WWII, it was then transferred to the West German government. In 1978, the city of Cochem bought the castle and it is now the main tourist attraction in the city. The castle is open for tours throughout the day and the views from the castle are breathtaking.

Santa Costanza in Rome, Italy
|
Located three Roman miles outside Rome's ancient walls, the Mausoleum of Constantina (Santa Costanza) might just be one of the Eternal City's most unique yet underrated churches. Originally built around 350 by the Emperor Constantine to house the remains of his daughter Constantina, it was part of the much larger Basilica of Saint Agnes, only a small portion of which remains today. Santa Constanza later became a church in its own right, making it one of the few remaining ancient churches of Rome not to be in the structure of a basilica. Instead, it is in a circular plan common among ancient Roman mausoleums. What truly makes Santa Costanza stand out are its mosaics surviving from the 4th century in the apses and ambulatory vault. Some of these mosaics have secular or even pagan themes, giving a glimpse into a time in which Christianity coexisted openly with older religions. The church also once housed two large porphyry sarcophagi, believed to belong to Constantina and her sister Helena. They have since been moved to the Vatican, however a replica of one is still on display here.

Taipei Bridge Scooter Waterfall in Taiwan
|
Taiwan is sometimes jocularly called the “Kingdom of Scooters” due to its being home to the highest density of scooters in the world; statistically speaking, 6 out of 10 people ride a scooter in this country, and the roads in big cities are covered all over with them during rush hour. In Taipei, the morning scooter traffic gets the densest on an unassuming ramp off Taipei Bridge in Datong District, where thousands of riders cascade down onto Minquan West Road every day, carefully avoiding clashing into each other. This so-called “Scooter Waterfall” has not only become an unexpected tourist attraction, offering an opportunity to capture a unique, strangely photogenic sight, but also an icon of Taipei’s busy city life, the chaos of rush hour and all.

Foding Palace in Nanjing, China
|
Beneath the domed summit of Niushoushan Cultural Park lies one of China’s most unexpected sacred spaces: an enormous multi-level Buddhist palace hidden completely underground. Built to echo the mountain’s Tang-dynasty religious heritage, the complex was designed to protect important relics—believed to include a fragment of the Buddha’s skull—once kept on this very peak. Descend through spiraling stone corridors into a surreal, cathedral-like space of illuminated lotus domes, golden halls, and one of the largest underground reclining Buddhas in Asia. Concealed below ground to evoke a hidden mandala-world, the palace blends relic veneration with futuristic architecture, creating an unexpected sacred labyrinth beneath an otherwise tranquil cultural park.
