1.) The Ice Hotel
Celebrating over 10 years in business, the Hotel de Glace in Canada is a tribute to all things cold. Made entirely out of 15,000 tons of snow and 5,000 tons of ice, the hotel is rebuilt every year, complete with 36 rooms and specialty suites, ice cafe, ice bar, ice chapel, art gallery and the grand slide. Don’t forget to check out the original art work and furniture made out of blocks of ice.

3.)Karosta Prison
If you would like the “real” prison experience, check into the Karosta Prision in Liepaja, Latvia. Used by the Soviets, Nazis and Latvians during the Russian Revolution and the Nazi occupation, it is the only European prison that is open to tourists. It is said that 150 people were shot and killed here, and restless spirits still roam the corridors. For a low fee, you can participate in the late night “show” from 9pm-9am, and included everything you would expect from a prison; iron bed, interrogations even a little verbal abuse.
