There are many places in the world that are so breathtakingly beautiful, they attract millions of visitors every year. Some destinations fill you with a sense of peace and tranquility, others draw you in with their incredible architecture. There are those where the wonders of nature speak to your soul. And vibrant cities where the energy makes you feel more alive than ever before. It’s no surprise that Instagram is filled with #travel photographs. People save for months to be able to tick off their bucket list destinations, while others live vicariously through them by taking in the sights and sounds via beautiful IG reels.
But not every place on earth is Insta-worthy. There are some that might suck the life right out of you with their overcrowded, dreary, polluted and downright ugly appearance. Many of them can be found on a subreddit called Urban Hell. It has more than 1.5 million members who gather to share photographs of “all the hideous places human beings built or inhabit.” As the page states, it showcases “the darker side of the cities, towns, and villages in our shared world.” Bored Panda has put together a list of the most hellish posts from the page. Keep scrolling and don’t forget to upvote the ones that stand out for you.
