While it is certainly rewarding to explore spellbinding locales and landmarks in person, it may not always be possible to do so. Even through it may be through a screen, here are some tourist attractions all over the world such as Buckingham Palace, Van Gogh Museum and the Waitomo Glowworm Caves which have chosen to cater to their visitors through a virtual portal to facilitate wider access. Moreover, you can also treat yourself to the splendid sights of cities like Venice and Jerusalem from the comfort of your home.


Chutes du Niagara

Tout débute il y a 12 000 ans, lorsque cette énorme tranchée fut creusée par l'Homme, afin de créer les chutes de Niagara. À cette époque, les chutes se situaient à 11 kilomètres, en contre-bas de la zone de Lewiston-Queenston. De nos jours, les chutes canadiennes de Horseshoe et les chutes américaines de Bridal Veil souffrent de l'érosion qui, chaque année, les réduit de 1,80 mètre. Elles déversent un total de 60 000 m3 d'eau chaque seconde. Une fois arrivé l'hiver, elles se parent de mille feux pour le Festival d'hiver d'illumination.

Keukenhof

Every spring from March to May, the Keukenhof Gardens burst forth in a riot of colors and are carpeted in reds, pinks, crimsons and yellows. Spread out over 32 hectares (72 acres), the garden blooms with over seven million flowers in hundreds of varieties and hues. Every year visitors flock here to see the national flower - the Tulip, which has a special place in the country's history, in all its visual glory. During the Dutch Golden Age, Tulip Mania reached such heights that the flower was sold for astonishing rates and the period is considered by some to be the first economic bubble recorded in history. With its landscaped gardens, exhibitions and annual events, Keukenhof is a popular getaway a short distance from Amsterdam.

Fort rouge

Ancienne résidence de l’empereur Shah Jahan, le Fort rouge est un site magnifique qui symbolise le patrimoine artistique, architectural et historique de l’empire moghol. Construit en 1648 au bord de la Yamuna, cet imposant fort fut bâti à l’aide de grès rouge, et ses murs défensifs s’étendent sur une distance de 2,41 kilomètres. Avant 1857, ce fort était une petite ville à part entière, abritant plusieurs nobles et guerriers. Il constitue aujourd’hui un joyau emblématique de la ville, sa façade couleur écarlate délavée suscitant l’admiration des visiteurs. Seulement une partie est accessible au public, tandis que le reste appartient à l’armée indienne. Le soir, le fort se transforme en une merveille luminescente, accentuée par des lumières vives et des sons, à l’occasion d’un spectacle spécial accompagné par une voix narrative qui raconte l’histoire des personnes qui y vivaient. Fourmillant d’influences architecturales moghole, perse et timuride, ce fort spectaculaire est entouré de pelouses verdoyantes. La magnifique porte de Lahori permet d’y accéder ainsi qu’à son domaine qui renferme un éventail de sites historiques tels que le Diwan-i-Aam (salle des audiences), le Diwan-i-Khaas (salle des audiences privées), l’énigmatique baoli (puits à degrés), le Hammam-e-Lal Qila, l’immense Hayat Baksh Bagh, la tour Shahi Burj, l’hôtel Rang Mahal, le Lal Mahal et le Moti Masjid.

Musée d'Orsay

Millions de visiteurs viennent chaque année voir la gigantesque collection d'œuvres d’art française du musée d'Orsay. Le Le bâtiment qui l’abrite, la gare d'Orsay, fut construite en 1900. La galerie principale du rez-de-chaussée, mesurant 138 mètres de longueur et 32 mètres de hauteur, est un rappel de son histoire. Parmi les chefs-d’œuvre que vous pourrez admirer dans cette galerie, on peut notamment citer le scandaleux « Un enterrement à Ornans » de Gustave Courbet et « Les Glaneuses » de Jean-François Millet. Si vous êtes amateurs d'impressionnisme, prenez directement la direction du cinquième étage, qui abrite des œuvres des plus grands maîtres du genre.

Théâtre-musée Dalí

The beauty of the 19th-century Dalí Theatre-Museum lies partly in the fact that it was designed by Dali himself. Built on the ruins of the Spanish Civil War, this museum is an architectural jewel in the riverside town of Figueres, which also happens to be Dali's birthplace. The building is the very embodiment of Dali's bountiful imagination, and the red fortress like structure topped by giant egg sculptures and figurines, crowned by a geodesic dome, is surreal to say the least. Dali's showmanship shines through in the one-of-a-kind artworks showcased here like the Wind Palace Room, Mae West Room and the Palace of the Wind. The Dalí Joies jewelry collection, pieces designed by the Surrealist master himself, and created by master craftsmen, is truly exceptional and an homage to his talent. Dali himself is interred in the museum premises, an apt resting place for the iconic artist.

Grand Canyon

Closely interwoven bands of layered rock skirt a sea of gigantic ancient boulders, coming together to form a surreal panorama that melts into Arizona's vast landscape. From high above the topmost point of the canyon, the mighty Colorado River appears as a muddy sliver, belying the tumultuous nature of its waters that carved through ancient layers of rock and birthed the steep canyons surrounding it. Over several millennia, the river snaked its way through the rugged landscape, constantly deepening and pushing the edges of the canyon, oblivious that its aggressive course unraveled years of geological history. For years, the canyon was home to indigenous Native American tribes, before Spanish explorers and American trappers settled into the river basin. Today, the Grand Canyon continues to instill a deep sense of wonder and mystique in whoever visits it, an eternal ocean of auburn rock that spreads majestically under deep blue skies.

Casa Batlló

Chef-d’œuvre de Gaudi, la Casa Batlló est l’un des bâtiments résidentiels les plus uniques jamais construits dans le style moderniste. Sa façade recouverte d’un arc-en-ciel de tuiles colorées laisse place au hall d’entrée qui évoque un voyage sous-marin, avec des murs formant des vagues, des verrières en forme de tortues et un escalier qui ressemble à la colonne vertébrale d’une créature mythique. En haut, l’étage noble est doté de fenêtres qui s’ouvrent sur le Passeig de Gràcia et sont inondées de lumière naturelle, tandis que le patio extérieur connecté est un kaléidoscope de teintes forgées dans le verre et le carrelage. Depuis la terrasse, il est facile de comprendre pourquoi cette maison est surnommé « maison du dragon », car les tuiles du toit ressemblent au dragon de Sant Jordi. Merveilleuse expression de créativité et d’expertise architecturale, la Casa Batlló reflète le génie psychédélique de Gaudi.

Musée du Louvre

Le musée du Louvre abrite l’une des plus grandes collections d’œuvres d’art et d’antiquités du monde. Il est situé à l’intérieur du palais du Louvre, qui fut construit au XIIe siècle en tant que forteresse par Philippe II. Lorsque Louis XIV décida d’installer sa cour à Versailles, le palais fut occupé par une variété d’institutions liées à l’art. Le musée fut initialement ouvert sous l’Assemblée nationale en 1793, et est divisé en deux sections, comprenant des dessins, peintures et sculptures, ainsi que des antiquités provenant d’Égypte, de Rome, de Grèce et de plusieurs autres cultures. Les visiteurs peuvent explorer ses nombreuses ailes et admirer certaines de ses œuvres les plus célèbres comme La Joconde , la Vénus de Milo et La Liberté guidant le peuple.

Parc national des grottes de Carlsbad

The dry, barren landscape of the Chihuahuan desert disappears into a subterranean cavern that is home to some of the most magnificent geological formations. Carved by now-evaporated waters of an inland sea several millennia ago, the Guadalupe Mountain holds as many as 119 clandestine caves. Craggy formations, each fascinating in its distinct form, stay suspended from the cave's roofs, the karst-like remnants of limestone that was dissolved by sulfuric acid over great many years. A geological repository of sorts, the Carlsbad Caverns Park is home to a plethora of patterns, from The Big Room, a 4000 feet (1,220 meter) long chamber, to the Bat Cave, a guano-laced corridor that houses a majority of the caverns' bat population. The Lechuguilla Cave is perhaps the most fascinating, fabled for intricately contoured stalactites that cling to the roof, in what is deemed to be the second-deepest limestone cave in the United States.

Sydney

Perched on the shores of the largest natural harbour in the world, Sydney is the brash, bold and stunning state capital of New South Wales. Although the area has been populated by native tribes since the Paleolithic era, it was not until 1788 that British explorers first sailed into Port Jackson and founded a penal colony on the site where the Sydney skyline now soars. Positively bubbling with exuberance yet quintessentially laid-back, Sydney boasts a thriving arts and culinary scene, beautiful beaches and marvelous displays of contemporary architecture besides the iconic Opera House. Notorious as one of the world's most expensive, Sydney is also one of the most livable cities, ripe with hip enclaves and ever-evolving culture. There's a constant flurry of new restaurants, bars and nightclubs to try alongside time-tested staples. On the flip side, the urban cityscape is heartily fringed with greenery, riddled with parks and nature reserves teeming with native wildlife. Cockatoos, flying foxes and possums are often spotted mingling with the denizens of the urban jungle, while the koalas of Taronga Park Zoo are always ready for a cuddle. From walking the Harbour Bridge and the stunning views from Sydney Tower to the surfers' paradise that is Bondi Beach and the verdant fonds of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Sydney is a vibrant wonderland of delights.
