Accommodations on Venus

The accommodations on Venus are as unique as the planet itself. Many of the more popular hotels on the planet are built over active volcanoes, the magma of which is used to heat the buildings. As the planet is covered in mist, the views from the windows are not easily seen, even on the clearest of days. So instead of windows, there are thin holographic plates, built into the walls of each room. With this type of technology, each guest can choose the location, size, and shape of each window. Guests can even choose the view seen from each window. Air vents in these hotels do not lead outside, as the atmosphere of Venus is made up of Carbon Dioxide and Nitrogen gas. Many other hotels float in the upper atmosphere, as oxygen on Venus is less dense than the general density of the atmosphere, which results in breathable gases floating. In an effort to accumulate interest, several hotels have incorporated some of the lighter gases into their buildup, resulting in ascension into the mists of the upper atmosphere.

If you're looking for a more exciting trip, however, you can always take what the travel agencies have fondly nicknamed a "slidecation". "Slidecations" are designed for optimum viewing opportunities of the planet. In a large metal pod much like a mobile home, guests slide through a long fiberglass tube, which gives them a glorious view of the Venusian atmosphere and landscape. Coated in specialized chemicals to help the fiberglass weather the cold of outer space and the heat of the volcanic magma, the pods are able to go to almost any location, whether it is the crystallized caves underground or the mountainous volcanoes.
