AirPano.com is a non-commercial project focused on high resolution 3D aerial panoramas. The team consists of a dedicated group of Russian photographers and panorama experts. Their goal is to shoot aerial panoramas and create virtual 3D tours of the most interesting places on our planet.

With over eighty 360-panoramas already available on their site, AirPano is already off to a great start, but they need our help! Getting permission to fly over some of the world’s greatest cities and landmarks can be difficult. A complete list of cities and landmarks they are currently trying to shoot can be found here. If you know anyone that may be of assistance please contact info@airpano.com

The Sifter went through every city panorama available on their site and put together a top-10 list of our favourites. Each city has a link to both the hi-res and low-res (if available) version of the 360-panorama. Enjoy! And be sure to check out the site yourself as there are numerous natural wonders captured on their site that will leave you in awe.
