Street View is one of the most innovative and most successful Google programs of the Mountain View company that has gone to support the famous Google Maps service. Surely everyone now knows it well and knows that Street View can be combined with a kind of interactive online map where you can immerse yourself in the place and walk inside it, virtually, from your PC
It almost seems to be inside a video game, with every step taken, the scenario changes because every corner of that place has been photographed at 360 degrees with a three-dimensional effect .
So, even without animations, you move back and forth on the streets of a city as if you were inside it, turn your head and look left and right, up and down, zooming in on the details to better look at a building or street corner.

Stret View is a monumental work by Google that has made a commitment to photograph the most beautiful places, locations, cities and the most beautiful panoramas in the world.
At the beginning there were only a few cities like Rome and Milan; now the Street View section, integrated in Google Maps and in the Google Earth program, is constantly expanding and the panoramic photo gallery involves many cultural places, landscapes and Italian and world historical monuments .
From Street View it is possible recently to interactively visit some of the most beautiful places in the world starting with some places that are cultural attractions and UNESCO World Heritage Sites .
1) Pompeii, Herculaneum and Torre Annunziata
Pompeii was photographed from head to toe and, in the web street view application, you can walk through the narrow streets of the archaeological site.
2) The Mary Celeste Wreck
The service is called Google Street View, but it does not mean that it cannot offer diving excursions.
One of the most suggestive places is in the blue seabed of the Caribbean Sea, where you can see the wreck of the Maria Celeste, a steamer sunk in 1864.
The ship is no longer visible and there are only a few remains, but it is still very fascinating.

Google Street View offers some views from this skyscraper, including this beautiful one, at 828 meters.
4) The Large Hadron Collider at CERN, one of the best Hi-Tech places that tech enthusiasts should see.
5) Hashima Island
Hashima Island in Japan is a former coal mining plant with a small town around it.
The island has been completely uninhabited since 1974 and, apart from explorers, there are very suggestive spectral ruins.
There is to imagine the silence that surrounds this place.
6) Grand Canyon, one of the places in the United States that everyone should visit, with an incredible and immense view, between the Canyons on the Colorado River.
Google Street View offers a lot of images and the possibility to walk in the Canyon down to the banks of the river to look at the rock walls around it.
7) Galapagos, islands difficult to reach with a real journey, where unique animal species live in the world.
8) The Eiffel Tower cannot be missed to review or discover the first time the view of Paris from the top of the most famous tower in the world.
9) Taj Mahal
It is not easy to see this huge mausoleum live, so it is worth watching it live from the PC.
10) Angkor, Cambodia, is a unique place to see the remains of the Khmer Empire, discover ancient cities, temples of the past, monkey statues and sacred trees immersed in the jungle.
BONUS Pripyat and Chernobyl
If you like the idea of visiting isolated places, there is nothing better than Prypiat, the city closest to Chernobyl, uninhabited since the day of the accident at the 1986 nuclear power plant.
In addition to the power plant, you can walk in the most polluted place in the world and watch a large and rich city, Pripyat, which was evacuated in 4 days and has remained the same, now dominated by nature and decaying since those days.
No man can go there today and for thousands of years without suffering the consequences of radiation, so the only way to go is virtually from the PC.
The area was put online by Russian Google Yandex who photographed the roads around the Chernobyl and Pripyat plants in 3D.
Other cities reconstructed and visited on StreetView are, for example, Seville on Google Earth and Venice.
