Float down this underground river on a raft of superlatives. The Puerto Princesa Underground River in the Philippines is not only reputed to be the longest navigable underground river in the world, but it also flows through one of the world's most impressive cave systems. This UNESCO World Heritage site was just voted one of the New 7 Wonders of Nature for its "mountain-to-sea" ecosystem that features old-growth forests, caverns full of remarkable rock formations, and the tidally influenced river that empties into the South China Sea. In order to preserve the cave, all visitors must secure a permit before entry. There's a limit to the number of people who can visit daily, so be sure to book a spot on a tour in advance.

It's perfectly fitting that in this tech-centric city, there was once a Seattle 1.0. In the city's first version of itself, mud—so deep it consumed dogs and children—was the primary feature. But when the Great Fire of 1889 wiped out 25 blocks, the city had to start again. Seattle used its reboot wisely, building retaining walls and raising the streets above their previously muddy foundations. Much of the original city sits undisturbed under the neighborhood around Pioneer Square, and you can explore it on Bill Speidel's Underground Tour. The quirky trip covers blocks of subterranean passageways that were once sidewalks and storefronts on a tour peppered with anecdotes and local trivia.

Shop, sleep, learn, eat, even bank—all underground. Montreal's Underground City (known also as La Ville Souterraine or RESO) is among the world's largest underground complexes. Twenty miles of tunnels beneath downtown Montreal are lined with shopping malls, hotels, museums, university buildings, metro and train stations, and even a hockey arena. Unlike most of our underground picks, this one requires no special ticket or tour to access. Though you might need a map if you ever want to get out.
You haven't seen Rome's Colosseum until you've explored the recently opened hypogeum—the underground tunnels and spaces where gladiators prepared for fights and exotic wild animals were held before being raised into the arena above. You can visit as part of a Colosseum tour or as a stop on a larger city tour offered by one of Rome's private sightseeing companies. To explore other subterranean sights around Rome, check out Underground Rome: The Hidden City tour.
