It’s the time of the year when most of you are free and making plans for your vacation. Many of you have already been to various places around the world, but some kids are just too good with geography that even without visiting these places they know quite a lot.

So all the smart kids interested in places around the world, whether they know or don’t have an idea of, https://virtualvacation.us/ is a site that gives its visitors a chance to virtually travel the destination of their choice.

The site is for all those who love to travel and those who would love to but cannot travel for any reason. As you open the site, you are given options to choose from different modes of tour. For instance, “Walking tour,” will give you the experience as if you are walking in the cities of your choice.

While in “Driving tour,” you will experience as if you are driving around the cities and viewing the scenery from the window of your vehicle and in “Flying tour,” you will witness the amazing views of the cities from up above.

“City Guesser,” will show you a clip and if you know the place, press the “Start Guessing” button, the map opens up, allowing you to guess the place. Drop a pin on the map’s location of your guess, then click to see how close you are! Once you become a pro, try the advanced challenges that test your radius streak and ability to find locations without clues or within a predetermined time limit.

Other sections include, “Monuments” with famous and not so famous monuments, “Virtual Window,” “Road Trip,” “VidEarth” and “Live Cam,” all having a different perspective of a virtual tour. Choose any and enjoy the beauty and richness of the cities around the world.

In my opinion, all the sections are wonderful and give you the feeling and experience of you visiting the places in real time. The site is unique and one of its kind.

So before you go on your vacation physically, why not visit the cities around the world virtually?
