See UNESCO World Heritage Sites Up Close with Google
Pin It
If you are like us, and can't afford to travel the world to see great sites like Stonehenge, the Eiffel Tower, or the Cathedral of Notre-Dame, then Google has something for you! Most people know about Google Street View, where you can actually "drive" down the roads of most of North America and Europe, but this new feature has gotten really close to many of the UNESCO World Heritgage sites so you can almost touch the sites! I checked out Stonehenge this morning, and it was like I was walking among the stones!
Not everything is available yet, which makes sense because there are so many sites, but with Google's cameras, and a few willing bicyclists, I'm sure Google Street View will be adding more every day! I've included a Google Map standing in the middle of Stonehenge below (rotate it to see all the stones around). You can also see the video below for more information on what's in store with Google Street View! What a great bargain for those of us who can't afford to travel to these wonderful destinations!
