10 Hidden Secret Places
Why do we travel? In my case, I do to see the world’s most famous landmarks, like millions of other
people. However, even though these places see millions of visitors each year, there are still parts of
them that remain unseen and only be accessed by a few privileged people, if they can be accessed at all.
Number 1, for example, is a place hidden in plain sight, but nearly all people don’t know that it’s there.
Find out where it is as I bring you 10 secret hidden places.

Number 10. Track 61
Think of it as Platform 9 ¾ of Harry Potter lore, but in real life. But instead of hiding it in something really
obvious, like a railway station, this one is hidden in a hotel.
The Waldorf Astoria is deemed one of the most luxurious hotels in New York. While many more modern
hotels have since been opened over the ensuing years, it has continued to play host to every sitting US
president, from Hoover to Trump. However, people might be unaware that there is a secret train station
located below the hotel, as the hidden platform was built to help President Franklin D. Roosevelt to
inconspicuously travel from the presidential suite to his childhood home in Hyde Park.
Track 61 was an integral mode of transportation during World War II, as the president’s private railway
car could pull up inside the station, and he could take an elevator to gain direct access to the hotel. It is
also believed that FDR used the train to hide his paralysis from the public.
The platform remains in use today, and it can be reached within minutes from JFK Airport. The Secret
Service has been sworn to secrecy regarding some of its features. While the platform is still in working
order, FDR’s custom locomotive now sits abandoned under the hotel.

Number 9. Da Vinci’s Secret Hatch
Travelers are welcomed into Rome a massive statue of Leonardo Da Vinci located at Fiumicino-Leonardo
da Vinci Airport. Yet, there is more to the structure than you might realize at first glance. Despite the 60-
foot bronze statue being unveiled in 1960, a secret hatch located halfway up the structure was not
found until it was renovated in 2006. Workers found two parchments inside the statue. One parchment
detailed the area’s history in classical Latin, while the other listed the attendees from the opening
ceremony.
Leonardo Da Vinci has always been linked to many mysteries and conspiracy theories, but this time, this
hidden compartment inside the statue wasn’t his doing. It is believed both the hatch and parchments
were the brainchild of Assen Peikov, the Bulgarian artist who won the competition to design the work of
art, but of course, that’s just pure speculation.

Number 8. The Cave of the Evil Spirit
Niagara Falls is the umbrella name of the three waterfalls located along the international border
between the state of New York and the province Ontario, and if you find that surprising, you’ll be happy

to know that I only found that out while researching this list. Anyway, located a stone’s throw away
from Niagara Falls is Devil’s Hole State Park, which many people visit to experience the beauty of the
waterfalls. There’s a hidden cave inside the park that was given the nickname “the Cave of the Evil
Spirit” by the Seneca due to their belief that an evil spirit was trapped inside. It was believed that only
warriors who were ready for battle would enter the cave.
The Devil’s Hole Massacre was a battle that took place between the Seneca and British soldiers in 1763.
After the Seneca won the battle, they warned the British of the cave to prevent them from trespassing
on the land. There is also a superstition that anyone who steals a rock from the cave will experience bad
luck.

Number 7. Underground Tunnels of the Colosseum
On average, the Roman Colosseum welcomes around four million tourists every year. Most of them visit
the landmark to view the Flavian Amphitheatre, which dates back to AD 80. Yet, what many people
don’t realize is that there is a network of underground tunnels below street level, called the Hypogeum,
which were used to house various animals, such as lions and bears, which were then lifted into the
gladiator arena via a pulley.
The maze was hailed as a superb archaeological discovery when it was initially uncovered. The
Hypogeum is now exposed and open to the public, but tours are limited to a maximum of 25 people
each time. Archaeologists have, however, criticized the tours, as they believe they could put the
structure at risk.
