Walk the cobbled streets of Venice

Italy has suffered greatly from Covid-19, so it’s a joy to watch the sprawling canals, architectural heritage and charming cobbled streets of Venice coming back to life on this rolling live-stream. Thanks to cameras set up around the city, you can meander across St. Mark’s Square, the Grand Canal and Rialto Bridge, and even spot a few locals stretching their legs (and safe distancing). What makes this trip even more enjoyable is the uplifting classical music that accompanies the cam. Order pizza in and enjoy!

Watch the sunset over Sydney

Little beats the visual wow-factor of Australia’s show-off city and Webcam Sydney speeds you straight into the heart of Sydney Harbour. We recommend tuning in as the sun goes down (three hours ahead of Hong Kong) to witness the glittering lights say goodnight to Sydney Opera House, Sydney Harbour Bridge, Circular Quay and The Rocks in one panoramic shot.
