A closer look
Nothing says 'relaxing getaway' quite like verbal abuse and a cold iron bed. At Latvia’s Karosta Prison, tourists literally sign a waiver to be treated like inmates in a Soviet-era military stockade. Your relaxing overnight stay includes being screamed at by actors in authentic KGB uniforms, doing forced exercise in the middle of the night, and sleeping on a mattress that feels like a concrete slab. It is the ultimate vacation for people who find regular hotels entirely too pleasant.
