5 Virtual Travel Experiences Everyone Should Explore

Travel as we know it has changed in the near term. You can, however, continue to fantasise. The message is obvious all throughout the world: no non-essential travel should be undertaken, both locally and abroad. With the global closure of borders and transit hubs, staying indoors and flattening the curve is more important than ever. The good news is that you don’t have to stop daydreaming. In fact, it is an excellent time to reflect on your favourite destinations and plan your next journey.

The world has rapidly responded to “social distancing” directives, making it simpler than ever to “travel” without leaving your house. From celebrity chef-led cooking lessons on Instagram to live streaming of concerts to virtual tours of museums, tourist boards from across the world are giving a variety of tailored experiences online to showcase their country’s beauty.

Anyone who wants to experience the great outdoors digitally will find escaping to a simulated reality by the sea or in the woods relaxing. You’ll discover that these virtual experiences provide just a little bit of consolation to help us cope with this period of confinement since our senses are immersed in the calming sights and sounds of nature. Here are the best virtual travel experiences you should check out. Let’s jump right in!

1. See the Entire Collection of Louvre, Paris

The world’s most visited museum has made its complete collection of over 480,000 artworks available to see for free online. This means you can have a close look at the Mona Lisa from the comfort of your own home. The Winged Victory of Samothrace, a 2nd century BC marble sculpture of the Greek goddess Nike, and Venus de Milo, a sculpture by Alexandros of Antioch, are among the artworks. You may see paintings, jewellery, fabrics, furniture, and a variety of other historical artefacts. Items in storage or on loan to the museum can also be viewed, in addition to those on exhibit.
