Travel the world without moving

We had already explained to you how to give yourself the impression of being (already) on vacation. Today, we go even further, by offering you 3 ways to visit places, sometimes unusual, in one click.

1. Visit the Taj Mahal via Google Street View

Do you dream of admiring the Taj Mahal, the quintessential symbol of absolute love? To stroll through the streets of Beijing, to admire the skyscrapers of New York or to tread the back roads of Peru?

To do this, simply enter the desired destination on Google Maps, grab the little yellow man and place it where you want. All you have to do is move forward on the map and discover the magnificent landscapes, as if you were there. And sometimes, when you have the eye, you even discover unusual scenes...

2. The world just a click away with Google Earth

Google Earth is THE software to get away from it all. After downloading it and understanding how it works, you can contemplate 3D buildings, dive into the ocean or travel through time. Unless you prefer to glide in space, walk on the moon, fly between the stars or see Mars... In any case, we warn you:you are going to be amazed.

Want to visit the Titanic?

See the Apollo 11 landing?

Or the archaeological treasures of Ireland?

3. Playing voyeurs while watching webcams around the world

Warning:you are going to spend hours eating popcorn in front of allwebcams.com. From your screen, you can admire the Big Ben, the bicycles of Amsterdam, the yellow taxis of Time Square, the port of Shanghai, walk in a haunted house, that of Santa Claus, witness the life of Belgian chickens or even follow the hectic life of a mussel...

Magnificent, exciting and also sometimes unusual, these images will immerse you in the great march of the world.

Bonus:doing the tightrope walker

Do like the tightrope walker Nick Wallanda and cross the Grand Cayon! But safely, behind your screen, by clicking on the image below:
