Canadian and Czech Street Views
Thursday, 8th October 2009 by James Turnbull
Google have just expanded Street View's coverage to 14 countries with the addition of 11 Canadian cities and regions1, and the Czech city of Prague.
We've already found some great Street View sights, which you can see on our brand-new Street View page or even better, follow us on Twitter to get the latest sights the moment we find them.
Montreal's Olympic stadium was one of the very first sights we posted to Google Sightseeing, when the site was just 3 days old. Now 4 and half years later, we get a much better view of the bizarre building and the world's tallest inclined structure.
Outside the stunning Canadian Parliament building we can see Tamil protestors, calling for action on the Sri Lankan Civil War. They protested non-stop throughout most of April 2009.
Probably Canada's most recognisable landmark, the CN Tower in Toronto can be spotted from miles around. This unique view, complete with truck about to crash into the tower, comes from the CTV's television station.
The impressive Czech National Museum sits atop Prague's Wenceslas Square. The facade had to undergo major repairs following severe gunfire damage during the 1968 Warsaw Pact intervention.
