Become a Virtual Tourist with 360Cities.net

Posted on 27. Jul, 2009 by Bradley Hebdon in Reviews

360Cities is a breathtaking virtual tour, showing thousands of panoramas made by hundreds of photographers. The stunning photos are interactive, spherical panoramas which beg you to explore them. This can be done by dragging your mouse around, and zooming in and out. For best viewing, use full-screen mode and for alternative views, right-click to expose the views menu.

To find these photos you can either search by keyword, or browse on the Google-powered map. One very useful feature is the ability to navigate from one photo to another without going back to the map. Look for arrows on the photo, and click on them to instantly get transported to the new destination.

Below is a photo from Chapman’s Peak near Cape Town, South Africa. OK, so as a Capetonian, I’ll admit I’m baised. But regardless, you cannot argue with the beauty of this photo and the unbelievable immersion of 360Cities.net
