EXPERIENCE THE WORLD VIRTUALLY THIS QUARANTINE Feel like you’re missing out on plenty of experiences with this quarantine? Don’t worry- we’ve got you covered with 5 virtual tours to help you learn more about some of the world's most well-known attractions. In an attempt to “flatten the curve” and ultimately reduce the spread of the COVID-19 virus, governments have ordered the closure of the majority of businesses worldwide. So, whether that be your favorite attraction, or favorite place to go out to eat, chances are it's closed down- leaving citizens with tons of free time on their hands. Although it may not seem this way, self-isolating doesn't necessarily mean that you can’t experience the world virtually. In fact, many industries have created online activities, from museum tours, to live performances, to digital broadcasts. You can access the majority of these tours free of charge- and without having to leave your couch. Down below we have 5 ideas for virtual tours that are definitely worth your time. 1. The Louvre Last year, this very well-known attraction had a major issue with overcrowding and strange guest behavior. As a result of this, they created an online version of the Louvre- where you can experience the museum without having to physically be there. Visitors can check out tours focusing on Egyptian antiques collections, the Galerie d'Apollon, and many more. 2. Yosemite National Park Let’s say museums aren’t of much interest to you- why not try out one of the most well known parks in the world? This virtual tour is completed with sound, and allows visitors to visit some of Yosemite’s most well-known landmarks, such as the top of the Half Dome and the Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoias. 3. The Great Wall of China Believe it or not, even the Great Wall of China has its own tour! It offers some of the most visited sections of the wall, with over 400km which are walkable! A great experience for anyone wanting to see China’s most famous attraction without having to deal with the large crowds who’d typically visit it. 4. Sistine Chapel Since Italy started the national lockdown, it has been impossible to get any view of the beautiful Sistine Chapel. However, with more technological advances, they’ve put together an incredible tour, allowing visitors to experience interior artworks of the chapel, such as “The Last Judgement” painting by Michealangelo. 5. San Diego Zoo Passion for animals? Look no further. Not only does this zoo offer open-air, cageless animal habitats, but they now have a huge variety of live streams that you can watch at your own pace. Check out their adorable pandas, elephants, and polar bears- trust me, it's a site that you wouldn’t want to miss.
