WHAT ARE THE RULES OF URBEX?

Some urban explorers say that urban exploration by nature has no rules but I disagree with that.

As you already know, urbex is a dangerous hobby . So it makes sense to have a set of rules to follow to both stay safe and stay out of trouble.

The rules I've outlined below are just a few that I think every new urban explorer should know and follow.

These urbex rules are:

Do not enter buildings without being accompanied

Do not vandalize a building

Accept that some places are prohibited

Do not steal anything from a place you are exploring

Don't run if you are caught

You've probably heard the quote , "Take only pictures, leave only footprints . " This is a rule that most urban explorers live by.

Simply put, when exploring an abandoned building, respect the place and leave it as you found it . We do this so that the next urban explorer can enjoy abandonment the same way you do.
