From roads to reefs and temples, we’ll go!

The summer holidays may be coming to an end in many parts of the world, but there’s still enough time for one last trip. Let Street View take you on an adventure to Indonesia and Cambodia, with new panoramic imagery from a handful of cities and many more attractions in these two countries. Whether you’re an urbanite, a nature lover or a culture vulture, there’s something on Google Maps for you to explore.

Starting today, you can explore street-level views of Jakarta, Surabaya, Denpasar and Bogor. So why not go on a traffic-free stroll past the iconic Hotel Indonesia roundabout in central Jakarta?

You can also walk through the stunning rice terraces on the island of Bali:

Or dive into the waters at Komodo Island National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site, and swim through the new underwater Street View imagery collected by the Catlin Seaview Survey team using their 360-degree panoramic SVII cameras:

At the click of a mouse, Google Maps will transport you to Cambodia where you can explore new panoramic views of the capital city Phnom Penh, Siem Reap and more than 10 other provinces.

Indonesia and Cambodia are home to rich cultural history and ever-changing landscapes, and we hope this new Street View imagery can help you more easily discover these countries. So go on, enjoy the last few days of summer and explore a corner of the world you haven’t been to before!
