With the coronavirus limiting travel for the holidays, it doesn’t mean that you have to miss out on the beauty of the holiday lights. You can still travel the world and get a glimpse of Christmas in all its glory at many travel spots located around the world through a series of live virtual tours.
Here are some of the most coveted locales to see the holiday lights right from the comfort of your home:
New York City
Nothing is more spectacular than Christmas in New York City. But if you were unable to get to the Big Apple for the holidays, you can take a live 90-minute tour with a local tour guide to see the city’s most sought-after sites.
Canadian tour company ToursByLocals started live virtual tours last spring after international borders started closing as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. Of its more than 30,000 tours, 150 are now virtual. The idea was to provide our avid travelers with an opportunity to take their mind on a journey while remaining safe and socially distanced at home, said
Paul Melhus, CEO and co-founder of the firm.
Christmas tour of Stockholm
Virtual travelers can see the city of Stockholm without braving the temperatures of a Scandinavian winter night.
A live, one-hour evening tour takes armchair travelers to see the Christmas lights of Sweden s capital, the picturesque alleys of Stockholm s Old Town and prominent historical buildings, such as the Parliament House and Royal Palace.
