Experience 1,001 New Destinations with Street View
June 13, 2013
Today we’re adding more than 1,000 locations around the world to Google Maps, making it more comprehensive and useful for you. From historical landmarks to sports stadiums, these panoramic photos available via Street View can help you ease into vacation mode with just a few simple clicks. Below are highlights from Asia, Europe, Latin America, the U.S. and Canada that you can use to preview a vacation spot, to plot your next hiking route or just to become an armchair explorer from wherever you may be:
Go from city life to wildlife park in Singapore:
Planning on stopping by Singapore this summer? You can now explore more of the island’s diverse landscapes right from Google Maps. To get a taste of modern city life in Singapore, simply search for
Marina Bay Waterfront Promenade
and
Fullerton Heritage Promenade
and use Street View to explore the city’s popular bay front and bay skyline. If you’re planning to travel with family or are simply an animal lover at heart, you can also now go on a virtual adventure to the
Singapore Zoo
.

Discover some of Europe’s riches:
While you’re basking in Seville’s sun and sampling its famous oranges, check out the stunning
Seville Cathedral
against the bright blue Spanish sky. It’s the largest Gothic cathedral (and third largest church) in the world and served as a trading hub and bastion of the city’s wealth in the years following the
Reconquista
in the 13th century. Or maybe take a virtual sightseeing trip down the
serene canals
of Copenhagen, Denmark this summer. From the boat you can see cultural landmarks like the Royal Opera and Theater Houses and even the
sculpture of The Little Mermaid
from Hans Christian Andersen’s famous fairytale.

, home to Santos Soccer Club and of past and present phenoms, Pelé and Neymar. Experience
Bosque de Chapultepec
(Chapultepec Park), a natural oasis in the middle of Mexico City and one of the largest city parks in the Western Hemisphere. Or get ready for the slopes with a preview of
Valle Nevada Resort
, one Chile’s hottest ski resorts just a few miles outside of Santiago.
