If you have always wanted to visit Russia but haven’t had an opportunity so far, Yandex may have a perfect solution for you. The Russian search engine has recently added a new feature to its maps: from now on when using their street view called ‘panoramas’ you can enter some of the popular tourist attractions and take a walk inside the building!

Yandex has opened the doors of a few remarkable places in St. Petersburg including the palaces of Peterhof, Petropavlovsky, Iaakievsky and Kazansky cathedrals, and the Central Naval Museum . Here’s some of what Yandex can show you in Peterhof, the Russian Versailles (which, by the way, you can also see in bird’s eye view):

Grand Palace (Bolshoi Dvorets)

So, dear virtual tourists, click the links and enjoy your tour!
