Everything you thought you knew about your favorite travel destinations? There's so much more.

Curated by the relentlessly curious travel journalist and National Geographic regular contributor, Ronan O'Connell, Hidden in Plain Sight invites you on a photographic tour of the world's most popular landmarks showcasing the most mystifying, intriguing, and jaw-dropping stories from all the places on your bucket list.

You're invited to travel to more than 20 popular landmarks, including:

  • The Edinburgh Castle, where a supernatural stone (most recently incorporated into King Charles's coronation ceremony) resides.
  • The Berlin Wall, where MLK Jr. quietly passed across its border under the dark of night.
  • Amsterdam's Dam Square, where tourists stroll at the spot "witches" were once burned at the stake.
