Right, but I am looking for alternatives to books to see the real places, the way they are.

Thanks for your recommendations. I'd probably go with the movie versions :)

Cool. This is nice. I am specially in love with drone view and virtual tour buttons. Thank you. Although Limit of 20 places is quickly gone :(

I agree with @himlion :) I live in a big crowded city too.

Correct, but it is like comparing apples with oranges. For me these are 2 different things, which can be enjoyed separately.

I used to go through the time-lane reading travel books, though I have to admit that I also become a passive consumer of audio/video tours.

Indeed, Google maps has also been tool of my choice These days. Is there some function to visit random place there?

You won't need a navigation system post pandemic then :)

Cool. Google VR I didn't know about. Thanks.

Do you watch any travel shows or visit any websites looking around places? I just keep suring on Google looking for places I have already been to :)

Fake it until you make it ;)

It's nice that you have this possibility. Not every city offers such things :(
