Google has added 3D Tours to its Google Earth Gallery, of particular note is the 3D Buildings category. The category provides a number of self-running tours on various themes. The tours showcase 3D buildings (along with bridges and statues and other structures) around the world, most of which were built by Google SketchUp users.
