Being stuck at home during this pandemic has been extremly hard for us who love to travel, but thanks to the internet you can now explore the world from the comfort of your own home!





Due to the current health situation that has affected almost the entire world, we are forced to spend much more time indoors than we are used to, especially in this springtime that brings with it beautiful, sunny days. But that doesn't mean you have to be bored!

While experts encourage the public to socially distance themselves and stay home, many tourist attractions, theaters, theme parks and all public events are temporarily closed. While it is extremely important to accept responsibility and help in the simplest way - staying home, we are sure that in this crisis period there are many who do not really know what to do with excess time and do not know how to deal with the new situation. But thanks to the Internet, many museums and cultural institutions around the world are proving that you can have fun, have fun, and even learn a great deal just by staying at home. Specifically, many institutions offer their online visitors a free virtual tour of parks, zoos, and even Mars!

That's why I have found 5 attractive locations for you to enjoy - off the couch!


Visit world-famous museums


Google Arts and Culture has partnered with more than 2500 museums and galleries around the world to offer virtual tours of their spaces. Some of the tours include the New York Museum of Modern Art and Van Gogh of Amsterdam. The Paris-based Louvre Museum also offers its virtual internet tour for free, on its own website.



Visit the famous China Wall


Traveling to the world's most famous locations is currently not possible, but if you planned to visit the famous Chinese wall, you can now do it virtually! Visit the official site and enjoy the walk!


Explore America's Most Popular National Parks


For those who are desperate to surround themselves with nature, exploring the most popular national parks is one of the extraordinary experiences the Internet currently offers, and virtual visitors can even access the famous Yellowstone, but also the famous Yosemite National Park.


Walk through Mars


If you're in the mood for an adventurous trip, take a virtual tour - Mars! NASA, in collaboration with Google, has decided to offer users a tour of a 3D replica of the Martian surface recorded by their Curiousity rover. Do not miss this opportunity!


Travel to Hawaii



In this rather stressful and stressful time, relax while observing Hawaii's most beautiful sights, such as Hawaii Volcanoes National Park or the fabulous Waikiki beaches. With Google Earth, users are allowed to access these magically inaccessible, previously inaccessible places to spend the best time indoors!


I hope this helped all you travel lovers in this horrible time and that you have enjoyed travelling to some of this places from your homes!
