Take aa google streetview holiday

Legacy_user

I dislike travelling and spending money, so google maps street view is the perfect answer, it just needs virtual reality to be good enough for sightseeing for me, it's already fulfilled my curiosity about what other countries look like

I believe there is a website somewhere with destinations!

when i go away i always check the street view of where i am staying to look out for a landmark as i generally make my way using public transport from the airport so its good to see what the building looks like and different things to look for at end of streets

i am staying in poland next week and according to google street view the is a sex cinema right opposite ( not that i am going to visit )

What somewhere looks like will only satisfy your sight.
All your other senses need to be tested to get anything like a reasonable appreciation.
The only way for that is to be there.:)

And if you do want to add other sensory input, you can always, for example, buy a pizza cheaply from Iceland (or any other budget food retailer), and eat it while you virtually wander the streets of Naples; possibly to

Good idea! We have access to many more varieties of food than grandparents used to be able to

We were in Nepal at a place called Bhaktapur in April 2014 for the Nepal New Year (Bisket Jatra) celebrations...

See that big Temple/Pagoda. Me and the Mrs were stuck in the crowd near the top for almost 4 hours, practically unable to move.

And this is the sort of thing [viewer caution] that went on for a few days during the Festival...

Definitely tested all our senses, and a whole lot more!
