This quarantine is with no doubt bumming us all. Being stuck between our social responsibility of staying home and our itching travel bug is just so depressing. But what if I tell you that you can go places from the comfort of your own home? Yes, you guess it right; go on virtual reality tours! But no, I didn’t mean those virtual museum tours. Check out these fun recommendations I listed below on how you can travel virtually; they’re good for both your adrenaline and dopamine levels.
Yosemite National Park
Do you miss spending time outdoors? Then what about you virtually visit Yosemite National Park in California? Explore the marvelous wilderness, the vast meadows, and the pristine waterfalls through this 360 virtual tour.
Virtual Safari
Going on a safari is on every single traveler’s bucket list. So, if you still haven’t checked it off, this 360 virtual tour by Asilia Safari will take you all the way to East Africa.
The Great Pyramids of Giza
Another bucket list-worthy trip, visiting the oldest and the only remaining ancient wonder of the world, the Great Pyramids of Giza. Well, guess what! Travel virtually all the way to the historic Egyptian landmark; it has never been easier thanks to Google Arts and Culture. Click here to start your tour. The website also offers plenty of other sites and places to visit in street view and 360° videos, so you might as well check them out.
Other ancient Egyptian sites
Speaking of Egypt and its astonishing ancient civilization, the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities just launched a new initiative to enable people to experience the country from home. Every night at 7 PM (Cairo time), the ministry will be revealing a new virtual tour to one of the country’s archaeological sites. Check them out on Experience Egypt on Facebook if you always wanted to embark on an adventure in one of these tombs you’ve always heard about.
The Great Wall of China
Also, speaking of wonders of the world, what about you visit one of the modern ones? Click here to marvel at the breathtaking Great Wall of China.
Cirque du Soleil
Cirque du Soleil is hands down one of the top marvelous experiences one’s just got to try out. Luckily, virtual reality experiences and 60-minute specials are available here for FREE!
Broadway Shows
Attending a Broadway show, that’s the dream, right? Well, lucky for you, you can stream HD videos of spectacular performances via BroadwayHD, which allows you to browse through hundreds of productions. Unfortunately, it’s not for free; the monthly plan costs USD 8.99 and the yearly one is for USD 99.99. However, there’s a 7-day free trial plan, so you can give this a shot.
