Explore Wales in the metaverse

To promote tourism, Wales has launched a new metaverse experience available via smartphone, tablet, laptop, computer, and the Meta Quest headset.

The immersive experience has been created by Visit Wales to inspire future tourists by showcasing the range of experiences, places and attractions available to explore across Wales in real life.

Visitors can navigate the Welsh-inspired landscape as a virtual version of themselves, whilst seeing a snapshot of the country’s culture and heritage through a range of features.

These include:

• A historic castle with a hidden map of Wales to be found
• A cable car ride - similar to that in Llandudno - for visitors to travel from one side of the metaverse to the other
• An amphitheatre, like that which stood in Roman-era Caerleon, with screens showcasing highlights of Wales’ vibrant music and culture.
