A house is where we live. Your house can become your home, your own space, a place to share your life with your family and friends. There are all kinds of homes out there: flats in tall buildings, big houses with back yards, caravans, tree houses in the middle of cities, houses in the mountains, houseboats…etc…
Please, share your favorite home related panoramas with us. Send them to blog@360cities.net

Whatever your level of skill or participation, some of the more memorable quotes from famous players and coaches can serve as a guide in day-to-day life. Don’t forget to send us your sport related panoramas to blog@360cities.net
- A good hockey player plays where the puck is. A great hockey player plays where the puck is going to be.
Wayne Gretzky
- I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my live. And that is why I succeed.
Michael Jordan
- Nobody’s a natural. You work hard to get good and then work to get better. It’s hard to stay on top.
Paul Coffey
- The strong one doesn’t win, the one that wins is strong
Franz Beckenbauer
- Run and become. Become and run. Run to succeed in the outer world. Become to proceed in the inner world.
Sri Chinmoy
- The harder you work, the harder it is to surrender.
Vince Lombardi

The Shard will open its doors to the public next month. The Shard is the highest building (310 meters) not only in London, but also in the entire European Union. Although tickets are not cheap, opening day tickets are already sold out.
We have some awesome panoramas from the highest skyscrapers in the world – but who will be the first 360Cities’ photographer to shoot a pano from the top of The Shard?
Here are some great panoramas from the top of skyscrapers around the world:
Skyscrapers “Seven sky”, Novosibirsk, Russia. Panorama made by Novosibirsk.
Vysotsky (skyscraper) – the highest point (188.3 m), Russia. Panorama made by Anton Fedorchenko
Mexico City from Torre Latinoamericana, Mexico. Panorama made by Nikita Mikhal’kov
Maintower, Frankfurt, Germany. Panorama made by Volker Uhl
Esplanada, Kiev, Ukraine. Panorama made by Semenov Kirill
Burj Khalifa Dubai Floor 106 North View, United Arab Emirates. Panorama made by 360emirates.com
The sun sets on Chicago from the Skydeck in the Willis Tower, formerly as the Sears Tower, USA. Panorama made by Ryan Stoney Photography
Almost everybody knows about the 360Cities Map. (If you haven’t seen our map yet, click here)
Lots of people go to the map when they dream about their next holidays, about Caribbean weather,
about water sports, about exotic food… We know that 360Cities Map viewers take their time, they have
a drink and relax flying through the world.
We want to make your “virtual traveling” experience nicer and easier than before.
We’ve modified the infowindow that is shown when mousing over the thumbnails on the map:
- If you find a panorama that you love, you can easily find more from the same area by
clicking on “Zoom in”.
- You can see the photographer’s name below the thumbnail.
- When you click in any panorama’s thumbnail, you’ll be able to see it in a new tab.
That means that the 360Cities Map will be waiting for you in another tab and you won’t get lost.
Watch the clock though – one can easily get hung up – we’ve heard accounts of people
spending up to six hours surfing the 360Cities map .
