While many of your clients’ bucket list trips might have been cancelled or postponed, there are still ways that they can make the most of this situation, such as reading the history behind their destination, learning some words of the local tongue, or even taking a virtual tour to keep the excitement. In this article, we’re focusing on the latter: virtual tours of some of the world’s top attractions. Even if you have visited these top attractions before, it might be nice to go back in and see how things might have changed!

Great Wall of China

It’s easy to understand (even from your couch) why the Great Wall is considered one of the Seven Wonders of the World. This virtual tour allows you to “walk” along the Great Wall while still being able to take in the views and understand the magnitude and scale of one of China’s most famous landmarks.

Vatican City

For many, the Vatican is a bucket list item. On this virtual tour, clients can choose which part of the Vatican they’d like to virtually tour, such as Rafael’s Room or the Sistine Chapel – obviously the Pontiff’s residence is off limits! The best part about this tour? Your client won’t have to wait in line in the brutal Roman sun.

Palace of Versailles, France

We definitely recommend eating cake while taking this virtual tour of the Palace of Versaille. The opulence, decor, and scale of this palace can easily be understood when taking the tour virtually. Powered by Google Arts & Culture, there is so much to do and learn about Versailles, from 360 degree virtual tours to learning more about the history of the former home of the French Royal Family and aristocracy.

Machu Picchu, Peru

The trek to Machu Picchu isn’t for everyone, but this virtual tour of Machu Picchu is! This tour is guided and takes you through several look out points. While you admire the views and ponder how this site was built, the speaker will provide context to what you are viewing and provides additional pieces of information you might have missed on a self-guided tour in person.

Buckingham Palace, United Kingdom

Feel like a royal on this virtual tour of Buckingham Palace. Obviously the Royal Family’s living quarters are off limits, but you can see some of popular favorites like the Drawing Room and the Grand Staircase. If you’re feeling extra fancy, you can even get a behind the scenes look at the Palace’s Garden Parties and so much more!

Take this virtual tour →

Montserrat, Spain

This beautiful monastery built into the surrounding cliffs is something out of a fantasy novel, and now that fantasy can be enjoyed from the comfort of your home. The virtual tour takes you to different sections of the monastery and offers a 360 degree click and drag experience.

La Sagrada Familia, Spain

No trip to Barcelona would be complete without a trip to la Sagrada Familia. This virtual tour does not disappoint and let’s you take tours from outside the cathedral, as well as inside, and even let’s you tour Gaudi’s tomb and the Crypt. There’s also a spectacular view from the top that might even give you vertigo.

Take this virtual tour →

Florence Duomo, Italy

Similar to la Sagrada Familia, the Duomo in Florence is an iconic must-see experience. This virtual tour let’s you take a look inside the Duomo and gaze upwards (on your computer, of course) to take in the stunning frescos and architecture. You can also scroll through different rooms and learn more about the history of the cathedral.

Hagia Sophia, Turkey

When in Istanbul, one visits the Hagia Sophia. It’s one of the city’s main attractions and it’s architectural beauty and history are the reasons why. You can find both on this virtual tour, which offers a 360 degree view of different parts of the museum, including the pulpit view, the inner hall, and even the fountain outside.

Take this virtual tour →

Flower Dome, Singapore

The Flower Dome at the Gardens by the Bay in Singapore is one of the world’s largest greenhouses. Perpetually in spring, these gardens are breathtaking and can even cause a sense of calm when touring them virtually. This virtual tour let’s clients view not only the Flower Dome, but the Cloud Forest Dome as well.

Take this virtual tour →

Sydney Opera House, Australia

Synonymous with Sydney, the Opera House is definitely a bucket list item for most of us. Through the Power of Google Arts & Culture, you can see this impressive building both inside and out on a virtual tour. In addition to taking in the view, you can learn more about the history and the construction of this iconic building.

Disney World, United States

With so many school vacations coming up, a lot of kids (and even some parents) were absolutely excited to get down to Disney World. Even though the parks are currently closed, you can “walk” down Main Street as if you were there. And for an added bonus, you can also pretend as though you are on some of the rides.

Bonus: Top Attraction of the Future – Mars Walk

Trips to Mars aren’t possible for most of us… yet. But if there’s anything we can learn from our current predicament, it is that we have to be thinking about the future. Now you can walk on Mars without having to go through the rigorous training astronauts have to go through in order to go to space.
