But what if you could travel the world without moving a limb? Yes, that’s right, present-day technology has enabled such a feat. Virtual tours are a phenomenon quickly gaining fame, and many museums are offering them free of cost!

How to take one?

The best part about all this is that you don’t need any external software to take one. Just click on the link for any tour you wish to take and it will open inside your browser. 

To put the cherry on top, you can combine the powers of VR goggles with your PC to make it an enchanting experience.

So when are you taking a virtual tour?
