Now you can see the sights of Russia without even putting on pants! Google on Tuesday announced that it has added Street View to Google Maps in Russia.

From the comfort of your couch, you can virtually explore Moscow, checking out sights like the Red Square or the Kremlin. You can also stroll through Tsaritsin or Kuskovo Parks on the outskirts of the city.

Or you can fly via Google Maps to St. Petersburg, where you can glimpse landmarks like the historical center, the Peterhof Park, or Alexandria, one of the country's most famous palaces, among other notable places.

Google has been consistently expanding Street View to more cities and countries. Last month, it introduced the navigational feature for two cities in South Korea. In November, it added Street View to Belgium, and in August it was approved in Israel.

Google's Street View is not limited to just streets, however. Late last year, for example, it began to include parks, such as Kensington Gardens in London and the High Line in New York City. Google also offers Street View for ski mountains like Breckenridge or Whistler.

Street View also works inside for some locations, like stores and restaurants. Google last month started to make it easier for small business owners to have their companies mapped on Street View. It launched a program called "Trusted Photographers," which allows business owners to chose a photographer in their area from a Google-approved directory to capture 360-degree images of their businesses.

Not everyone has welcomed Street View with open arms. In May, Google voluntarily opted out of enlarging its Street View program within Germany. In 2010, Italian officials required Google to provide adequate warnings about when its Street View vehicles would be passing through, and Google was banned from expanding Street View in the Czech Republic due to security concerns.
