Google Sightseeing is a daily updated blog which covers the best of things to see on Google Earth and Google Maps.

The site is in English and readers primarily come from United States, United Kingdom, Canada and Australia. We have two translation sites in French and Italian.

Google Sightseeing is unaffiliated with Google, and has been running since April 2005. In that time there has been much press coverage, including The Guardian, Newsweek, TIME magazine’s “50 coolest websites of the year”, San Francisco Chronicle, LA Times, New York Post and Wired, as well as TV coverage on BBC News 24 and FOX 26.

Google Sightseeing is written by owners James Turnbull and Alex Turnbull, with staff writer Rob Witherow.
