Throughout history, Europe has been a hotbed of culture, imagination and natural beauty. At Google we’re keen to share these elements with the world through our maps, so over recent months we’ve been taking all manner of Street View technologies—Trekkers, Trolleys and tripods—to capture some incredible places across the continent, focusing this time on Central and Eastern Europe. Here are a few highlights for you to explore:Hungary Danube river in summertime is a wonderful thing. But now you can also check out some of Hungary’s hidden gems in Google Maps. Take a look inside the National Theatre of Pécs and explore the beautiful Basilica of Eger , the second largest church in the country. In the capital, Budapest, you can walk among the trees and rose bushes in the little-known but spectacular botanical garden near the centre of town, or even climb a hill to get away from it all.The magnificent National Theatre of Pec, Hungary
Czech Republic Prague Castle from the medieval Charles Bridge . They’re too good to miss, so we added these sites and almost 30 others in Czech Republic to Street View including the gardens of the Prague Castle , Prague’s historic center , interiors of castles such as Cesky Krumlov and Spilberk , and beauty spots like Ceske Svycarsko and Krkonose National Park .The interior of the Cesky Krumlov Castle, Czech Republic
Slovakia wooden protestant church in Kezmarok and national parks like Velka Fatra and Pieniny . To get a feel for the history of the country, why not check out Branc Castle or Draskovic Castle in Cachtice? From the high turrets and battlements of the castles, you can then take a trip below ground and visit Dobsinska Ice Cave and Ochtinska Aragonite Cave which we added last year.The church in Kezmarok
Romania Turda Salt Mine , in Cluj County, Romania. Tourists around the world can take a tour of the mine—which is more than 200 years old—with our high-resolution imagery, from the comfort of their homes. Turda Salt Mine, Romania
We hope you enjoy discovering some of the delights of Europe as much as we did.Posted by Magdalena Filak, Street View team
