Area 51
Nevada
Little is actually known about Area 51, given that the exact location is top secret and that the whole area is a no-fly zone it’s no surprise that facts are unavailable.
One thing is for sure though, with radar systems and anti-aircraft weaponry as well as hundreds of highly trained soldiers, unless they want you there, you’re not getting in!
Seed Vault
Svalbard
You wouldn’t think that seeds would need all that much protection but this is rather a special stash of seeds. Stored in order to ensure that the human race could continue to grow food after a catastrophe, the vault contains thousands of species of seeds.
The vault was originally set up by the Norwegian government and is 1300km inside the Arctic Circle so even getting there is going to be a struggle, the high tech security system and metre thick steel reinforced concrete is just the icing on the cake.
Fort Knox
Kentucky
Fort Knox is a military base that holds around 5,000 tons of gold and is known to be one of the most secure places ever to exist. As well as being an active army base with thousands of soldiers and weapons on hand, Fort Knox also boasts a secure vault with a door that weighs over 200 tons.
Federal Reserve
New York
Said to contain around 25% of all of the gold bullion in the world, the Federal Reserve Bank in New York sets a new standard for security. With the vault sitting 80 feet below street level and guarded by doors, bars, locks… oh and several highly trained marksmen, you would have to be the Incredible Hulk to stand a chance of getting in.
Buckingham Palace
London
Home to His Royal Highness Charles III, Buckingham Palace is one of the most iconic buildings on earth and draws millions of tourists to London annually. Don’t let the sprawling grounds fool you, though; it is an incredibly secure building that is under constant guard.
We also bet that the King could fend off any potential burglars as well as hundreds of the King’s guard (which aren’t actually ceremonial, they are highly trained active soldiers) and anti-aircraft weaponry.
