Google's Street View vehicles resume operations in Romania, aiming to update visuals along over 25,000 kilometers of roadways.
Bringing Google Street View Back to Romania in 2023 🇷🇴
Get ready, Romania! Google's slick Street View cars are making a comeback across your beautiful land starting from April! Over the next few months, these vehicles will wander through countless cities and towns, snapping pictures to update more than 25,000 kilometers of street vistas.
From large urban centers like Bucharest, Timișoara, Sibiu, and Ploiești, down to contentious Brad, On Einari, Sulina, or Turda—Street View's got you covered.
Remember when the Street View service debuted in Romania back in 2010? The first images graced Google Maps that year, followed by a nationwide coverage in 2012, where 40,000 kilometers of roads, 39 cities, and countless tourist attractions were showcased. Major city images were regularly updated, with notable additions such as the Turda Salt Mine, Bran Castle, the Alba Iulia Fortress, the Brukenthal National Museum, the Danube River, or the Danube Delta.
In 2023, Google partnered with the Tașuleasa Social Association to photograph nearly 900 kilometers of Via Transilvanica, offering a virtual exploration through the Street View images on Google Maps.
Last year, Street View got the latest makeover, but 2023 marks another exciting time for updating images across Romania. To learn more about the specific areas and localities that will be captured in Street View cars, check out the updated list here.
