See if you can spot any vehicles parked nearby. No cars parked near the building: Do a circle around the building.Overgrown grass: If there’s overgrown grass in or around a building, in the parking lot, and near entrances, you can pretty much tell no one is caring for the location.Graffiti on the walls: If the building is all tagged up with spray paint, you can pretty much come to the conclusion that there’s no one in the building.No lights in / outside building: A dark building with no lights is a good indicator that the building isn’t in use.Seeing broken glass everywhere could mean no one occupies the building. Broken doors/windows: Nobody works inside a building with broken doors/windows.Look out for these signs to identify if the building is alone. Drive/walk around the building first to scout the place out. There are some obvious tell-tell signs you can look out for. Make sure the area you’re exploring is completely abandonedīefore you head into the location you’re going to be exploring, be 100% sure it is completely abandoned. If you’ve got no one to tell where you’ll be going, write down the location you’re visiting in a piece of paper and leave it somewhere in your room where someone can find it. Send out a quick text message to a friend or family member telling them where you’ll be exploring and at what time you plan on being back. If you can’t get a friend to go explore with you, and you still want to go, please let someone know where you’ll be going. This is why I always advise anyone to not explore alone. Exploring abandoned locations alone isn’t really safe. Places that aren’t taken care of anymore and are falling apart. Places that attract the homeless, junkies, and gangs that like to hang out where no one can see them. This hobby takes you to abandoned places that people don’t really pay attention to. One thing that you’ll hear me say over and over again, for a good reason, is that if you can, always explore with a friend (Tip #5). If you’re exploring alone, let someone know Though there are lots more tips I could’ve included in this post, I decided to only go with 15 to keep things short. I’ve made a list of the best urbex tips every new explorer should know. If you’re in that same situation and you’re looking for tips for exploring abandoned places, keep on reading. I did that because I wanted to learn as much as I possibly could about Urban Exploring before I started exploring on my own. Before I started urban exploring, I remember watching video after video on YouTube and reading several articles related to urbex.
