Welcome to your ultimate travel guide for thrill-seekers and lovers of staying at interesting places! Buckle up; with me, you’re going on an amazing experience through some of the strangest and out-of-the-box Airbnbs from the OMG section. We’re talking about sleeping in a crane high above Amsterdam, staying in a UFO in the middle of the Welsh countryside, hiding out in an apocalypse bunker in Norway, and chilling out in a mountain chalet in Slovenia. Each stop is jam-packed with surprises and stories you’ll enjoy sharing. Let’s dive in!
Amsterdam, Netherlands: Spend the Night in a Crane
Arrival at Amsterdam: We start our journey in the city of life and charm—Amsterdam. But this time, you do not have to stay at a regular hotel; your room is in a real crane by the IJ River, turned into a hotel. It will enable you remarkable views of the city and also let you take an exclusive sneaky look into the industrial past of Amsterdam.
The steep steps of the crane are what really start to check-in your excitement. Inside, it’s a small yet smart space—complete with a snug bedroom, compact kitchen, and fresh bathroom. Plus, added quirks of the original crane, bring history into blend with the comforts needed today.
Insider Tip: Hungry? Have a New York-style pizza delivered and see if the delivery person has the courage to climb up those stairs to your hideaway!
Do-it-Yourself Activity: Here’s where it gets fun—you get to actually rotate the crane. Spin around for a killer Amsterdam sunset or some quiet time over the water at sunrise. That’s a memory you won’t want to miss.
Fun Fact: One said “spider invasion” in the evening: it does give a bit of excitement during your stay, doesn’t it?
Pet Stop: Before leaving Amsterdam, visit the local pet store to buy a fun toy for your furry friend. Perhaps you will have the opportunity to find something really different and unique that you won’t be able to find at home.
Wales, United Kingdom: The UFO Experience
Arrival in Wales: And now we land you amidst the countryside in Wales, checking in to a UFO-themed Airbnb. But be prepared, for this is not an ordinary place to stay—it’s just like you walked right into some sci-fi movie while you enjoy the tranquility of the Welsh countryside.
Check-In: When you enter the UFO, you will arrive at an almost surreal round room well-equipped with all things modern. In here, there is a queen-size bed for “parent aliens,” and farther inside, there are smaller beds for the “baby aliens.” Fun, weird, and totally memorable.
Local Tip: Be sure to use all the props inside to make it look like a real alien landing—it’s great for some awesome photos!
Must-Do Activity: In the night, you can put up the galaxy projector and stuff the UFO with stars; this is some real magic—creating the night sky right over your bed.
Fun fact: This UFO is so famous that it’s even in Airbnb ads, and it’s a must-visit for all those in love with out-of-the-box stays.
Pet Stop: While you’re busy around the local town, pay a visit to a local pet shop and buy your dog some special toys. Each toy will remind you of your cosmic adventure.
Slovenia: A House in the Alps
Slovenia Arrival: Now let’s pop over to Slovenia, a mountain chalet in the stunning Alps awaits you. Sheer tranquility, peace, and incredible views.
Getting to the chalet is an adventure in itself—a drive, a ski lift, and a short hike will bring you there. Inside, it’s a mix of rustic charm and modern conveniences. There are snug living areas, well-equipped kitchens, and even saunas. But the best part? Those great big windows framing views across the Alps.
Local Tip: Expect that it may be possible to eat at a close restaurant, but prepare for the worst since sometimes many restaurants in small towns close without warning. If not, don’t worry—the chalet has everything you need in its pantry.
Must-Do Activity: After a day’s hike, be sure to take in the sauna. It’s a great way to relax and enjoy the tranquility of the surroundings.
Fun Fact: The sunrises and sunsets from this chalet are unforgettable—like scenes straight from a movie.
Pet Stop: Before leaving Slovenia, it’s time to visit one of the pet stops to get a special toy for your dog. This will be one special souvenir from your alpine adventure.
Norway: The Apocalypse Bunker
Travel in Norway: We have finally set off for the wilds of Norway, in which an ancient ski resort has concealed the modern bunker of the Apocalypse. It is remote, it is rugged, and it is really going to give you something quite different.
Checking In: This is no ordinary bunker—it’s a minimalist masterpiece known as the Bird Box. That huge circular window provides spectacular views across the Norwegian Highlands. Inside, it’s warm and very snuggly, complete with a small kitchen and bathroom.
Local Tip: Avail yourself of the breakfast and tapas package that the host offers; it’s a good way to taste local flavors right in the middle of nowhere.
Must-Do Activity: Set your alarm early enough to catch the sunrise through the huge window. Watching the highlands wake up in the morning light is an experience you will never forget.
Fun Fact: The Bird Box is not just an accommodation but an experience that brings one to nature in the most special way.
Pet Stop: Before you leave, stop in a local pet store in Norway to pick up a one-of-a-kind toy for your dog. Those little reminders will keep your incredible trip fresh in your mind.
A journey across some of the most unique Airbnbs in the world demonstrates how far a little creativity can turn one’s travel into an adventure. Each place has its own OMG moment, making for memories that last a lifetime. Play crane driver in Amsterdam, orchestrate an alien invasion in Wales, take in the views across the Alps from a chalet in Slovenia, or enjoy the solitude in a Norwegian bunker.
