    My favorite "hidden area" is in Auric Basin. On some of the HoT maps you can find Itzel playing instruments, and if you stand close enough to them the zone music is replaced by their music. The one located at The Falls is a personal favorite.

    Zinn's cave in Tangled Depths, you can get an achievement by dancing there. You have to swim through a cave, then climb up a really narrow passage to get into the cave, and once you're in, you'll see a bunch of dancing hologram Asura.
    Also, look up the blue and yellow catmander mini/home instance cat/tag purchase areas. You get to them by doing some jump puzzles to get into two special areas. The yellow catmander area is a big multilevel cave behind a waterfall where quaggans are training kittens for battle. It's great!

    Since there are so many places like this in the game, I feel like you could make this into a series of just showing of cool hidden spots in the game if you want.
    I know this was your top 10 and I'm not sying you should do a series. It was just an idea I had. I would probably have made videos about it myself if I could.

    The inside of Bria's Manor in Iron Marches is very memorable to me, because my wife and I discovered it very unexpectedly. We had a pair of characters that we loosely role-played and when we signed off we'd first find a place to "sleep". When we were at the aforementioned house, which we couldn't get into, we decided it would be a good idea to sleep on the roof, to be less likely to be discovered by spiders and spirits, so we climbed up and parked our characters up there for the night. The next time we logged in, we found they had been moved into the previously inaccessible house interior, and were surprised to find the many children's bones scattered around the upper floor.

    The entire Retrospective Runaround jumping puzzle is a fascinating hidden area. I played for years without noticing there is a jumping puzzle in the Silverwastes that can in fact be done before gliders and mounts. What a fascinating cave structure running underground an area that hundreds of people go farm for loot on the surface everyday.

    not really too hidden or anything but one of my favorite places in guild wars 2 is the jumping puzzle at the southeastern part of caledon that you have to enter through a hole in the ground covered in foliage, then swim into the jp, but its got such a beautiful and comforting atmosphere that i find myself just hanging around in that cave very often

    Man. This stuff is why I love the game.
    I watch alot of GW2 videos but most of it seems to be about balance patches, farm guides or pvp.
    That stuff isn't bad but what I care about are the exploration, sense of adventure, atmosphere, history and story. So to me this kind of video is what I really like to see. :D
    And yeah, from the moment I saw the video title, my mind went to the cave in the Grove. xD

    I remember accidentally stumbling into the Forsaken Fortune mini-dungeon in Dredgehaunt Cliffs after another player opened the door. It's since then been one of my favorite mini-dungeons in GW2 (even though it takes quite some time to complete bc Gerrvid is slow).
    Also, whenever it's a daily achievement, there's never a shortage of players trying their best to attack the invulnerable skelk in the place.

    In Blazeridges Steppes, under Behem's gauntlet, if you search in the lake where the veteran shark lurks around you can find a small alcove. Following along the underwater tunnel you go down quite the distance, then back up into a large cave with absolutely nothing ! No ressources, no enemies and (so far to me) no quest... Perfect hiddin spot if you ever need one ;7

    Inside the ascalon dungeon, in the final boss area, go up some stairs and close to the top enter a tunnel behind some vines. You will enter a chamber with pillars connected by almost invisible paths, it looks a lot like the "path of god" from the Indiana Jones movie. To come out, just jump in the water and find the sewer pipe back to the main hall.

    My favorite hidden spot is in a district of Divinity's Reach.
    Go to Ossan's waypoint then head east along the fence. Directly north of the merchant and south of Minister Zamon's POI, jump over the fence there (you'll need a mount, Springer or Skyscale. Griffon would probably work too) in the SE corner of Ossan's Quarter.
    It's a little back garden with two npcs that have dialogue sometimes. There's two benches stacked on one another, the top one of which you're able to interact-sit on. It's so lovely and small, with no incentive to ever find it. It's my little treasured spot, please enjoy!
    As another fun secret (I love finding these kind of things in the game), if you talk to an Asuran npc in the College of Statics in Rata Sum, you'll get special dialogue if and only if you are an Asura from the College of Synergetics AND in the Order of Whispers

    Loved the video! I think I knew everything but the boat in the Gilded Hollow. One place I stumbled across recently that really surprised me (I was VERY thorough on my first world completion) is this beautiful little grove in Bloodtide Coast that looks like an abandoned sylvari village. Got some great screenshots. If you want to check it out yourself, follow the map edge east of the hostile fort with the sugar pumpkin patch (south of the big pirate cave, northeast of Firthside Vigil Waypoint) and keep a keen eye out for openings in the rock wall; it's pretty easy to miss!

    Not as much a hidden area, but an unused area of scrapped content.
    In Bloodstone Fen there is a really cool cave, that was never used.
    If you go to Depths of the Maw waypoint (it is the waypoint for Bastion of the Penitent raid) and if you stand straight before the raid portal and look up and left of the portal you will see a ledge which leads to the cave.

    There is a cave in tangled depths that is so dark your screen is pitch black inside. I dont know where exactly it is because i accidentally fell into it one day. Once inside you need to navigate a tunnel to get out but you wont be able to see anything lol. I had to use the legendary torch to light the area under my feet to figure out where to go. The cave also has vampire bats and worms inside.

    Not exactly a "hidden" place but: The statue of Dwayna in Martyr's Tomb in the west part of Harathi. I love the creepy atmosphere and the fact that you can kneel before the statue to start a small event with an Emissary of Dwayna. It's those little environment-based interactive elements (also: Bonegrinder's Gully in Queensdale)

    Not core Tyria, but the hidden cave in Istan is absolutely beautiful. The only way I know to get in involves shenanigans with skyscale + Leap of Faith. But it's hard for me to believe we're not supposed to find it when there are two possible rich node locations in there, one for mithril and one for orichalcum. If anyone knows a way in that doesn't involve skyscale shenanigans, I'd love to know what it is.
    The part of the cave I really like is at 2:05 on this video (which I did NOT make, this is NOT me):

      @@Darkstar2342 The Valkyrie is deep under water, the throne room is up high across from a waypoint, the crystal room is behind a door that doesn't normally open, so you'll have to glitch inside and place a portal to get in and out. Then of course there is the desert, forest, and view of the tower, all inside the guild hall... You really get your money's worth choosing that hall more than any other one, including the EoD one.
