After exploring many places over virtual tours, I started to grow a liking for them. Although, I did discover that even though they are very similar to being there in person, they are not nearly as breathtaking or magical as if you were actually there. All in all, virtual tours have clearly become more popular as the corona virus has taken away most travel, and kept people from going on their planned vacations. It has become something that people are very interested in, possibly because it is way better than a flat picture.
I decided to take a virtual tour through The Great Wall of China, The Eiffel Tower, The British Museum in London, and National Aquarium in Baltimore. Personally, I chose these because I have never seen any of them and wanted to take a tour to see if they were worth seeing in person in the future. Obviously, most of them would be good to see because they are very famous and popular, and ranked as some of the world’s best attractions… but I wanted to get a small glimpse beforehand. The tours were very enjoyable and cool to see, but some of them caught my attention more than others. For example, The Great Wall of China was difficult to navigate and did not have the prettiest views, while the Eiffel Tour was much easier to use and the views were amazing.
I know I shouldn’t have judged it by the view, because I bet it is a spectacular thing to see in person… I just hope that this virus will end sooner than later and we will all be able to get back to our regular life safely.
