Community map
15,230 abandoned places listed across multiple countries. Filter by country, region, type, condition.
Confirm your explorations
Geolocated check-in on site, rating, personal logbook. A slow record of where you've been — visible to you and your trusted circles.
Badges & progression
Narrative badges, levels, gentle streaks. Progress at your own pace. Never take risks to progress. The reward is the visit itself, the app just remembers.
Premium
Access to exact coordinates and unlimited unlocks. Supports the project — no ads, no data resale, no external investors.
In the app, coins can unlock individual places. They are separate from Premium, which provides exact coordinates and unlimited unlocks.
A community that respects the places
Urbex Legends only works if explorers care about the places they visit.
Read our three commitments
Respect
Take nothing, leave nothing, break nothing. The site you find is the site the next explorer should find.
Caution
Abandoned buildings are dangerous. Asbestos, unstable floors, sealed wells. Never explore alone, never force entry.
Legality
Trespassing on private property is illegal. The app provides information; you're responsible for the choice to enter. Always ask permission when possible.
Download Urbex Legends
Available on the App Store and Google Play.
Frequently asked
What is Urbex Legends?
A mobile app and community map dedicated to urban exploration: thousands of abandoned places, a feed where explorers share their visits, and a system to document forgotten heritage with respect.
Is it free?
The core app is free. Premium unlocks exact coordinates and unlimited unlocks. Coins can also unlock individual places in the app.
Can I add a new place?
Yes. Every user can submit a new spot with photos and coordinates. Submissions are reviewed by our moderation team before going live.
Is urban exploration dangerous?
It can be. Abandoned structures may contain unstable floors, asbestos, deep holes, or aggressive wildlife. The app does not encourage trespassing — you are responsible for your own safety and legality.
How do I report a problem?
Inside the app, every post, comment, or user can be reported. You can also email us directly — see the footer.
