VR Travel Apps on Meta Quest

Once you have a headset, there’s a lot you can do—games, social worlds, videos, even more adult-leaning content. But honestly, why not use it to go see the world? You can sink into quiet, almost mystical landscapes, or walk through cities buzzing with life.

All of that is possible in VR. As long as you pick the right apps, you can travel to almost anywhere on Earth—and sometimes even slip back into cities from the past. Here, I’ll introduce a few popular travel apps you can get from the Meta Store for Meta Quest.

These apps can be broadly grouped into two main types.

Active Travel: Go Where You Want, On Your Own

Brink Traveler (Deep Travel)
Real-world landmarks recreated through 3D scanning. Walk freely through the scenery and feel as if you’re truly there.

Wander, Wooorld, and WorldLens (city free trips)
These use Google Maps to instantly jump to cities around the world, with teleport-style movement.

Revisit (time traveler)
Also based on Google Maps, but lets you travel not only to different places, but also to cities from the past.

Passive Travel (Group Tour Style): Sit Back and Follow the Guide

YouTube VR / DeoVR
Watch VR travel programs and enjoy guided tours or drone footage, letting the visuals lead the journey.

Let’s take a closer look at each of these apps next.

Brink Traveler

This is one of the most fully featured and popular travel apps available on the Meta Quest Store.

It recreates famous locations from around the world with game-level detail. Waterfalls flow, birds circle in the sky, and as you move through the space, you’re actually walking inside the environment. It lets you take your time and really soak in the scenery, instead of just looking at it from a distance.

It really feels like the flagship of VR travel apps—the guide system is exceptionally well done. Every location comes with clear explanations, so even if you’re just standing there taking in the view, it feels like Brink Traveler is quietly guiding you along the way.

Every location featured is a world-class scenic spot. Some of them are places you couldn’t reach in real life no matter how much money you spent—and yet they’re fully accessible here in Brink Traveler.

At each spot, you can freely walk around within an area of roughly five to ten meters, which gives you enough space to slowly take in the view. Even the stones under your feet are detailed to the point where you catch yourself thinking, “Wait… is this actually real?”.

Wander, Wooorld, and WorldLens

This app uses Google Maps data, letting you travel to almost any location on Earth.

Among these VR travel apps, Wander really stands out for its interface design. With just a quick voice command, it can take you almost anywhere in the world.

On the other hand, Wooorld and WorldLens focus on 3D city maps. Their strength is letting you view city layouts and landmarks from above.

Take New York as an example. Scenic viewpoints are marked directly on the map, and all it takes is a single click to instantly warp to that spot.

American cities really are lively.

The streets are shown as full 360-degree real-world panoramas, so it genuinely feels like you’re standing there yourself. Tap one of the white points on the screen, and you warp a short distance ahead—it gives you that real sense of actually walking through the city.

It’s not just outdoor sightseeing—you can even go inside buildings. This scene shows Chihkan Tower in Tainan, Taiwan. You can actually walk inside and explore it, and the structure and distinctly Taiwanese atmosphere really come through.

Revisit

With the first two travel apps, you naturally end up visiting famous landmarks or major cities around the world. But Revisit is different. This one is a portal for traveling through time.

Memory is a strange thing. The streets you knew as a kid, or the scenery from your old hometown, slowly fade as the years go by.

This place is Beimen Shopping Area in Tainan. It used to be the biggest PC and game shopping district in the city. More than twenty years ago, I wandered around here almost every week. Now, there’s barely anything left of that time—the buildings are worn down, and the old atmosphere is gone.

If I told my son, “This place used to be my favorite when I was younger,” he probably wouldn’t believe me. Looking at how it is now, there’s no way to imagine how lively it once was.

Sixteen years ago, back in 2009, this place was genuinely buzzing with life.

Let’s go back. Put on the headset, and Revisit will carry you across time.

If you ever want to tell your family or someone important, “This is what it used to look like,” just hand them the headset. Let them see those old scenes for themselves, right there with you.

YouTube

This is a travel app meant purely for watching. You can feel like you’ve “visited” different cities and places, but the footage is locked to the creator’s point of view. You can’t move around yourself, and the flow is completely fixed.

The YouTube VR app on Meta Quest has a dedicated VR video category where you can experience travel footage from all over the world. But if you really want to feel immersed, anything below 8K starts to feel lacking. A lot of videos in this category are closer to 2K, which makes the world look a bit mosaic-like, and that can be disappointing.

If you’re doing VR travel on YouTube, make sure you search with both “8K” and “VR.” If either one’s missing, the image quality usually isn’t great, and it’s hard to really get into it.

Let’s pick one Japanese travel VR video here. The footage shows the streets of the Shinjuku area.

This one is a full 360-degree VR video where you walk through the Kabukicho area of Shinjuku alongside a guide. There’s just something about Japanese city streets—they have a pull that’s hard to explain, but easy to feel.

If you’ve played a bunch of SEGA’s Yakuza games, this streetscape—and places like Don Quijote—probably feels familiar. Turn left and that should be Nakamichi Street, and straight ahead… yeah, that’s gotta be the Millennium Tower, right?

Since this is VR video, you might feel a bit motion-sick when you’re walking along with the guide. Watching it while standing up makes it easier to keep your balance, and it feels a lot more comfortable.

DeoVR

This is also a “watch-only” travel app, but it’s a bit different from YouTube. DeoVR offers much higher video resolution, and the overall filming quality is noticeably better. That said, it feels more like watching a travel program—you don’t quite get the sensation of actually stepping into the place yourself.

From the shortcut menu on the right side of the screen, select Travel or Travel & Nature to browse travel-related videos. Just keep in mind that most of the high-resolution, high-quality content is limited to paid subscription members.

This 8K VR video, Village of Rice Dreams, was shot with a drone — it really makes you feel like you’re sightseeing while flying through the sky.

Since you’re flying the whole time, it doesn’t really feel like you’re “traveling” in the usual sense. If you want something that feels closer to actual VR travel, YouTube’s travel-style VR videos come across as more realistic and are easier to recommend.
