Travel on the map online. Virtual travel around the world. Google Street View - street view in Google Maps

3D maps cities in real time or virtual walks

To my great surprise, I discovered that many people are not familiar with such a concept as “ Street panoramas» on the maps. I hasten to fill this gap.

For the first time, the opportunity to travel through the city streets without leaving the computer appeared on Google maps, and for obvious reasons remains the most pumped up on this service.

In the window below you can take a virtual walk around the city of Moscow. Use the navigation arrows in the upper left corner of the image. You can change the viewing angle using the arrows on the keyboard. To move around the image, you can click in the image area. Arrows on city streets show routes. You can change your position on the city map by dragging the yellow man in the lower right corner of the image with your mouse:

State Tretyakov Gallery

And in this interactive window you can take a virtual online walk through the halls of the Tretyakov Gallery! In the upper left corner of the image you can switch between floors of the museum, which is very convenient:

Cathedral of Christ the Savior

“Street panoramas” can be compared to studying cities from satellites in real time. After all, typing into the search “ Moscow from satellite in real time» Users probably want to see the nearest streets or even their home from the best angle. Unfortunately, this cannot be done from a satellite in real time, unless you use special equipment.

And for ordinary users who don’t want to bother with unnecessary problems, “Street Panoramas” will be useful; they act as a full-fledged replacement satellite maps, plus they give full review the place we need.

And if you want to walk around such megacities as New York, Paris, London, Madrid, Rome, Barcelona and Prague without leaving your home, then be sure to check out our articles:

Well, if you want to commit travel with companions in real time, then come here.

It’s also worth mentioning that for now you can go on a virtual walk in Russia only in Moscow, using the “Street Panoramas” service from Yandex.Maps.

In addition to walking, this service allows you to:

— travel around the city and see the sights;

— plan a trip route in an unfamiliar place, looking at junctions and road signs with your own eyes;

— look around the house when looking for a new place of residence;

— print a photo of the place you need.

Have a nice trip!

Undoubtedly, virtual travel cannot and should not replace real travel with all its gamut of vivid sensations and impressions. But they help us see any corner of the earth for free, even if you yourself will never be able to visit there. In addition, this is a very convenient way to get mass in advance useful information and plan your future trips.

You can fly in the stratosphere over the entire planet or over the roofs of Paris and St. Petersburg, look into the halls of the British Museum or the Kremlin treasury, find yourself among the mountains and waterfalls of Iceland or in the amazing underwater world of the Galapagos Islands... Stop dreaming, there are no more barriers in front of you!

1. Panoramas 360cities.net

Just as poets describe the world with poems, artists with paintings, composers with music, so the website 360cities.net describes the world with picturesque panoramas.

Tens of thousands of photographs from all corners of the earth are collected here, and not only ours - there are even panoramas of other planets from one interesting rover. Here you will enjoy virtually traveling around the capital of Nepal, Kathmandu, or exploring the panorama of London, which was filmed in such high resolution that you can see the faces of people in the windows of houses.

2. Google Photo Tours

Of course, the ability to view streets on GoogleStreetView maps will not surprise anyone for a long time. But not everyone may know that the participants in this project are also passionate about creating photo tours and entire virtual trips.

These photo tours give you the opportunity to walk around Taj Mahal, look at Dubai from the world's tallest 800-meter skyscraper Burj Khalifa, for the whole of Paris with one of three observation platforms Eiffel Tower or be transported to Mexico to the pyramids Chichen Itza. There are also unusual travels, for example, descending into a salt mine similar to an underground palace in Wieliczka (Poland)) or immersion in the present undersea world in tens different places, for example, at Galapagos Islands.

When I travel, I often use the Street View app. It is available for Android and iPhone. The application allows you to view many panoramas located on the world map.

There are panoramas of users and panoramas of Google itself. The service is developing rapidly and the number of panoramas is increasing before our eyes.

I myself observed the fascinating process of creating a panorama using special equipment. But each of you will be able to add your own panoramas using your smartphone and obeying the commands of the application.

4. Yandex panoramas

The Yandex company is also actively developing its mapping service, and on its maps you can take a bird's eye view of the cities of Russia and the world. For example, fly over Palace Square in St. Petersburg or above the Assumption Cathedral in Vladimir.

Yandex maps are perhaps more visual than Google; there is a mode for viewing a panorama and a map at the same time.

5. Air Pano

The amazing project of another Russian team, Air Pano, is a rare case of professional enthusiasts creating products at a level that was previously only achievable by wealthy Internet corporations. Spherical aerial panoramas, or rather entire air excursions Air Pano, will easily give both Google and Yandex a run for their money in terms of the beauty and quality of the footage.

Filming is carried out from literally everything that can fly: from airplanes and balloons to airships and radio-controlled drones. Now the site has about 2000 panoramas from the most picturesque corners of the world. Here you can visit the island of Java on the Bromo volcano or see the Kremlin from the air from different angles, admire northern lights in Iceland or admire one of the islands of Hawaii, visit Petra in Jordan and even look inside the famous Treasury.

In addition, when viewing a panorama, you can switch to another camera by simply clicking on the helicopter symbol.

The panoramas are not only colorful, but also educational. Many are marked with the names of visible objects.

6. Youtube 360 ​​video files

360-degree video provides even greater immersion and full presence. You can easily look to the right or left, for example, when passing the palaces on a boat in Venice.

You can search for 360 degree videos on Youtube, but you can also search on Air Pano.

7. Video travel on Vimeo

You will be surprised what miracles a good photographer can create using the time lapse technique (slow motion). This is a great way to show even familiar places in a completely new light and inspire travel.

Excellent collections of such videos are collected on vimeo.com. Hundreds of videos give you the opportunity to visit the most beautiful places planets. You will be able to admire the golden pagodas of mysterious Myanmar, the northern beauty of Norwegian sunsets, romantic views famous bridge"Golden Gate" in San Francisco or other stunning shots from around the world.

Another global Google project is dedicated to art. It’s called: Art Project. Behind the modest name lies an incredible exhibition - tens of thousands of paintings from best museums peace. Moreover, each one was filmed in such high resolution, that you can, for example, examine in detail every stroke of Van Gogh’s “Starry Night” or look into the eyes of the noblewoman Morozova Surikov.

Many museums kindly allowed us to film not only their exhibitions, but also their premises. And now you can, without getting up from your chair, stroll through the halls of the Hermitage or the Doge's Palace in Venice, or visit the Museum of the Acropolis of Athens.

If you are a creative person, then similar virtual excursions will save your time and money, and you will receive no less aesthetic pleasure from works of art.

9. Webcam on the ISS

Are you fascinated by the unknown expanses of the Universe? Then watch live broadcasts from a webcam on the International Space Station. You will have the feeling that the camera is somewhere very close, and not 400 km from the surface of the planet.

The image changes slowly but surely throughout the day and you can see for yourself that our blue planet is in perfect order. However, it should be noted that the video is only available when there is a signal with the Earth, otherwise you will only see a splash screen. Sometimes on video you can see the life of astronauts and their spacewalks.

10. Webcams around the world

If you look out of the ISS window - it’s high and scary, you can look at something more “down to earth”. For example, visit the Maldives or London's legendary Abbey Road, or hang out for a couple of hours watching pandas at Zoo Atlanta. The website earthcam.com has a huge collection of webcams around the world - from New York to Bangkok. A great opportunity to track the changing time zones on the planet.

On the website http://a-russia.ru/ you can see many web cameras from different interesting corners of Crimea and other places in Russia.
