As the school year winds down and weather heats up, you might be mulling over vacation plans. Airbnb’s latest Icons category will likely tempt you with singular pop culture travel experiences. Ranging from the movie Up to the Musee D’Orsay to Prince’s Purple Rain home, there’s at least one option that will make you want to win the golden ticket and get to be the rare person to stay overnight at one of these beloved cultural landmarks.

At a recent press event in Los Angeles, Airbnb unveiled its latest ambitious plans to attract travelers. The plan is for new experiences to be announced throughout the year, but 11 iconic experiences have already been unveiled for this summer season. Airbnb has been hosting these singular experiences for a while now. Last year, someone got to spend a night in Barbie’s Malibu beach house and Shrek’s pal Donkey’s swamp abode in Scotland. Realizing these opportunities garnered a lot of interest over the past five years, they decided to make it a year-round feature of the app. Along with the magical digs, each Icon experience comes with VIP activities, such as watching the Opening Ceremony for this year’s Olympics or “wilderness adventures” in the Up house.

Spanning the globe, the experiences will only be available for a limited window of time. If you want to spend a night at the Ferrari Museum in Italy, or any of the other unique locales, you’ll have to sign up to be considered for a golden ticket. Only a select few will be able to live out their dreams, with Airbnb promising to hand out 4,000 golden tickets in 2024. The extra good news for those lucky guests is that the price for the experiences range from free to $100 dollars max, making it more affordable than staying in many Airbnbs in major cities and tourist hotspots.

Here is the current list of announced Icons:
