Street View has received its “biggest update ever”, adding a host of other countries and locations to the service.

On the Google LatLong blog, Street View program manager Ulf Spitzer explained that more than 400,000km of road was added to the service from 17 countries, such as the US, the UK, Canada, and Italy.

Some of the new places include Catherine Palace, Russia, the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall, Taiwan, and Stanley Park, Vancouver.

Street View also went inside the Kronborg, for those who’ve always wished to see inside one of Denmark’s oldest castles.
