Play Dungeons & Dragons in the Wisconsin house where it was invented
The hugely-popular game of Dungeons & Dragons was invented in Lake Geneva by Gary Gygax and Dale Arneson. Gygax’s still lived at home with his parents in an unassuming house that for the past many years was used as another family’s summer home. They have since rebranded it as The Birthplace of D&D and make it available for fans from around the world to come and play the game in the very spot where it all started. There’s even a loft next door where you can stay the night.

Hunt for the ghosts of bullfighters at the abandoned Plaza de Toros in Montevideo, Uruguay
The Plaza de Toros Real de San Carlos is located just outside Colonia del Sacramento and was once a bullfighting arena. However, bullfighting was banned in Uruguay during the early 20th century. This majestic structure was inspired by Moorish architecture and has been left to the elements, allowing nature to slowly reclaim it. Visitors can explore its ruins, and the grand arches and columns create a dramatic backdrop. The arena’s past and present offer a stark contrast, and its sense of tranquility is a poignant reminder of the impermanence of human endeavors.
