The international travel ban continues to play havoc with vacation plans, putting many overseas jaunts in limbo. With no end in sight, you can’t help but feel a little depressed about the situation. To help ease your somber mood and scratch those itchy feet, Google is offering virtual tours of UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The tech company has just added over 1,000 UNESCO World Heritage Sites to its Arts & Culture app. Now you can travel to some of the world’s most enthralling historical sites from the comfort of your own home. While not the same as being there in person, it’s still worth a look considering the alternative.

You can visit renowned landmarks such as the Colosseum and Pantheon in Rome, the royal palace in Paris, the Taj Mahal in India, Simien Mountains National Park in Ethiopia, or the Sphinx in Egypt. While it’s true virtual tours will never replicate the experience of real travel, it’s the best we can do at the moment and a great way to research what you want to see when the borders finally re-open.
