Get a front row seat to the games with Google Maps
June 5, 2014
The world's biggest soccer tournament is here. Whether you’re watching from the comfort of your couch or packing your bags for Brazil, Google Maps is your ticket to the games. To kick off the tournament, starting today you can explore all
12 stadiums
and the iconic
painted streets
, one of Brazil’s tournament traditions, in Street View—a digital legacy of the 2014 games for years to come.
Exploring the sights and culture of this year’s football tournament has never been easier with Street View in Google Maps.

Rua Padre Agostinho Poncet, São Paulo, Brazil
In addition to the stadiums and painted streets, images from hundreds of sites across
Brazil
, including
Iguaçu National Park
and
St. Michael of the Missions
, are also now available on Google Maps. If what you see in Brazil whets your appetite, you can also explore new Latin American imagery in
Peru
,
Chile
,
Colombia
and
Mexico
.
And if you’re lucky enough to have a physical ticket to Brazil, don’t forget to pack Google Maps for mobile.
Transit
: With Google Maps transit available in all 12 host cities, Brazilians and visitors alike can rest assured they can make it to the stadium and other destinations routing the best path by bus or train.
Indoor Maps:
Make your way through more than 100 venues across Brazil, including airports, shopping malls and, yes, tournament stadiums with Indoor Maps.
Turn-by-turn navigation
: Zip through Brazil from Point A to Point B with Google Maps for mobile, giving you the most accurate traffic info, including real-time incident reports from Waze, and voice-guided directions.
So even if we can't help your favorite team find their way to victory, Google Maps is ready for the assist. You might be (or get) lost without it!
