Second Life Tourism

I went there with some friends and it was nice to look at-specially the huge castle, but overall kinda boring. But you say they're shooting now!? Woo hoo! *grabs her new berettas*

I am a newbie to SL (less than 30 days still), and was having a difficult time finding places to explore. And since I didn't know the names of most of these places, going to "Find" was next to useless. No matter what word I used, 99% of the items that came up involved shopping, casinos/dance places, or sex. The few times I found something else, I cherished those places like a fine gem. I knew there were plenty of talented folks out there, and this thread gives me a chance to see work I may have otherwise missed. As a side note, I see from my reading that ROMA is fairly new. It's one of the rare gems I was able to find. If you haven't seen it yet, it is well worth the trip.

funny enough, i also picked out the 'wind' sim at random and paid it a visit. no great shakes... just another wind-breaking gorean sim... move along folks, nothing to see ...

I've got most of these LMs in a folder. Feel free to IM me IW and I'll drop them to you.

For starting this thread! It should be stickied, as this is EXCELENT info for any newbie to SL!!! Tonite I too shall go exploring rather than back to the casino!

Sad to see no-one seems to have mentioned Numbakulla in the list of places to see. It is especially good as an antidote to all the commerce, as it was bought with and runs with donations.

There is a free to play immersive game in the sim, but you need not play it if such things are not your sort of thing. Take the flying ship tour of the island and just explore.

Posting a quick picture or three

I found the Kewlest place in my Wanderings
a Graffiitti Museum

"The World's 1st Graffitti Museum"

The World's 1st Graffitti Museum, Yucca (245, 176, 54)

i wish i could post a couple of pictures here but here is a link to some i put on Snapzilla
http://www.sluniverse.com/pics/pic.aspx?id=55102&sort=PictureID+desc

One was called "The Office". Quite Surreal. Very cool!!
The other was "Atlantis", a lil' more on the commercial side, but nicely done I think.

Since both are sims, you should be able to just type the name in on yer map & find 'em.

Alchera appears to be gone! What a shame--it was a big skating area compared to the small rink at Aspen. They still sell the trick 'skoopf' ice skates at least.

RATS! i jus did a search to find this thread to tell folks to RUN do not walk to Office for a surreal experience and i was too late!
we;ll
Do it anyways

The Temple of Hathor in Fujin. This is a big, big Egyptian temple, with a pyramid, tombs, tunnels and gardens. Everytime I go there it has grown a little more, lol, and more to see and do.

Beautiful place to explore (you will get lost, its wonderful, lol) or great for a romantic getaway.

San Miguelito in Solway

oo i found a kewl place
the island of Decadence!
it has bumper cars and a kewl swing and lotsa stuff to play on!!!!!!!
yay

Nice thread.. now when I get on tonight. I will have something fun to do. Thanks.

ok as i type this i am visiting teh kewlest place i have seen in awhile!!!

The International Spaceflight Museum on the Sim of Spaceport Alpha

this place is INCREDIBLE!!!!!
it is a Must see for everybody!

For those interested in Asian-influenced areas, you could try coming to Lopayzanilaya, otherwise known as the Fox's Den. It's basically gardens around a castle keep and Shinto-inspired shrine and a stretch of forest across the cobblestone road. It's located in Apoda, on the northern continent of the mainland, so it's not as spectacular as some of the themed island sims, but I'm rather proud of it. My intent all along was to have essentially a public park.

You should be proud, it was one of the first places I visited in SL and I loved it.

i used to spend most of my time in the same places in SL,

for so.. i have many new places to explore

for this week, i have a big problem, and i even can't come back in SL.
but i have all the time to think about...

this thread really gives the wish to discover new sims.
thanks to Lopayza Moonlight !

Just bumping one of the most useful threads ever cuz it deserves to be seen one more time!
and go vist Imogen, some fun stuff!

As long as you are bumping this excellent thread stpaulsub, I will whore my site out once again. Use this link to visit over 800 parcels submitted by residents, each with a custom image like the one below:



Sometime this week I will also be activaing new additions by landowners and the first build toward a category/sub-category browsing trunk. I hope anyone looking for visitors to their fabulous builds will contribute.

You can view the current browse structure here:
