There are many types of travelers, those who simply want to go from point A to point B without too much fuss and those who organize themselves with do-it-yourself trips, a bit of adventure, without precise destinations. Then there are those who would like to travel but, for economic or family reasons, are forced to stay at home or, if they are lucky, to the house by the sea, in the countryside or in the mountains. Whatever type of travel you are used to and would like to do, to find new inspiration on new places to visit, you need to go on the internet. Tourism is one of the most eviscerated topics on the web, especially during the summer or Christmas holidays, because people like to share experiences, give feedback and judgments on the places where they have been, recommending or advising against hotels, facilities and means of transport.
By staying in front of the computer, as we have seen, it is possible to book a last minute trip, book hotels and hotels at lower prices, find cheaper flights and read feedback and advice from tourists on travel sites such as TripAdvisor.
In this case, instead, let's go back to talking about trips that can be made on the internet with virtual tours of cities, monuments and museums online or watching videos shot around the world by tourists, some similar to those broadcast in the transmission " Alle falde del Kilimangiaro ", others more amateur, others more beautiful still with 360 degree subjective shots, like sightseeing to do sitting in an armchair.
Obviously, in most cases, these are not long and boring holiday videos but more synthetic videos, mounted on a television and therefore pleasant to watch.
The sites specializing in tourism travel videos are not many, here we see some of the best, both Italian and international.
1) Callofroad is a site in English with videos taken in a subjective way, as in a shooter game, as if you were really there. There are nearly 10, 000 travel videos shot by tourists from all over the world and anyone can upload their video and get it with friends on the internet.
