See more than holiday snaps

While Google Voyager offers amazing images from exotic locations, there's a lot more to see than just photos.

It also includes 360-degree panoramas, video clips and interactive maps, drawing on content from the likes of National Geographic, NASA, the World Wildlife Fund and PBS (the American Public Broadcasting Service).

You'll also find travel guides and planners for when you're inspired to take your own voyage.

Test your knowledge

Once you've been on a Google Voyager adventure, you can test your knowledge with quizzes covering landmarks, history, culture, natural wonders and more. The multiple-choice quizzes include photos and maps to help you along the way.

Follow in their footsteps

Some voyages show the routes taken by famous explorers and tell their stories. You can learn about Marco Polo's journeys to China and the adventures of Magellan, Drake, and Columbus as they travelled around the world.

Admire the view

Google Voyager isn't just for history buffs, though. It can also take you into famous jazz clubs and tour the haunts of prolific authors such as Ernest Hemingway, from Paris to New Orleans. You can also visit the homes of writers such as George Bernard Shaw, Virginia Woolf, Beatrix Potter and Jane Austen.

While you can use Google Voyager and Google Earth on smartphones, we recommend using the largest screen you have available to really get the most out of the wonderful images and information presented. Modern screens on tablets, laptops or desktop computers really help make the experience amazing.
