There are so many virtual tours available to expand your horizons from the safety of your home. Here are a few of my favourites to get you started:

Google Arts and Culture : includes famous museums, galleries and places. Check out Anne Frank’s House, Nasa, Glasgow Women’s Library, Van Gogh Museum – too many to list so start searching by name or map.

Great Wall of China : tour sections of the famous Great Wall.

Edinburgh Zoo : watch the live webcams for panda, penguin, tiger and koala enclosures.

Maeshowe’s Tomb in Orkney : this is a mobile app that enables you  to explore one of Europe’s finest chambered tombs.
