Places To Visit

Type in the exact address below to visit these places:

1. Circular Quay, Sydney, Australia- here you can view some of Australia’s most famous man-made landmarks including the Opera House, Sydney Tower and Sydney Harbour Bridge also refered to us the Coat Hanger.
2. Washington D.C., U.S.A. – brought to my attention by another user (Mark), Washington is another city modelled in 3D.  Check out the White House, Pentagon and other interesting buildings.  Also check out the strange road layout.
3. Uluru, Northern Territory, Australia- Uluru is considered a sacred location by the Aboriginals and a great attraction for tourists.  the triangular shape of the massive rock is quite amazing.
4. Petronas Towers, Malaysia- Kuala Lumpur has one of the tallest buildings in the world.  The interesting thing about this building is that it is two buildings joined by a platform in the middle.
5. Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco – the famous bridge has been created in 3D.  Fly down to it and look at the detail up close.
6. Christ the Redeemer, Rio de Janeiro - this large statue of Christ on top of a Corcovado Mountain in Rio de Janeiro is quite impressive.  The mountain and statue have both been modelled in 3D to give the proper perspective.
7. Berlin, Germany – Berlin is another city in 3D.  The main reason to visit here is for the World War history.  See what monuments and various sites you can find that still exist today.
8. Parthenon, Athens, Greece- another amazing ancient history site.  This location in Athens shows the ancient ruins of the Parthenon, the Herodian Theater, the Propylea and Erechtheion.  There are other ancient sites around the city so take a look.
9. Tokyo, Japan – another of the 3D cities.  Some of the buildings in Tokyo look incredible.  Check them out in 3D and in Street View.
10. Antartica – there is no building or development here, it is more to appreciate the shear brilliance of this massive continent.

Hope you have fun searching.
