How to Take a Free Virtual Vacation From the Comfort of Your Chair

If you’re broke and bored this summer, consider taking a free virtual vacation from the comfort of our swivel chair. Anyone can do this as long as you’re hooked up to the internet.

If you’re broke and bored this summer, consider taking a free virtual vacation from the comfort of our swivel chair. Anyone can do this as long as you’re hooked up to the internet. It’s so realistic that it looks like you’re standing right on the street. You can even look up into the sky and there are pictures of real people standing in the street. Here’s how:

  1. Grab your favorite snack and maybe an equally bored friend.
  2. Make a list of really cool places you’d want to go and google the exact addresses of hotels, monuments, fashion boutiques ect.
  3. Go to Google Maps 
  4. Paste or type the exact address of your vacation spot and hit search
  5. click  on street view and drag the icon of a person onto the street
  6. To get you started, type in this address to see the Eiffel Tour up close:   Avenue Gustave Eiffel, 75007 Paris, France‎ – 01 44 11 23 23‎
  7. Magnify the map as high as it will go, then click street view and enjoy your free virtual vacation.
