Ronse virtual tour: city, heritage and nature in 360°

Where do you start when a destination offers both historic places and woodland? For Ronse, Poppr created a virtual tour that takes visitors from an aerial panorama to individual locations. Look across the city, explore the courtyard at Hoge Mote, then find yourself beside the Geuzentoren in the Muziekbos forest. A potential day out begins to take shape before you arrive.

Help visitors understand the destination

A list of attractions explains what a city offers. A 360° city tour adds a different perspective: visitors can see the places for themselves and decide where to explore further. That matters in Ronse, where the historic centre and surrounding landscape offer distinct experiences that a first-time visitor may not yet connect.

Virtual Ronse brings these different sides of the destination together. The tour combines 360° imagery, recognisable Ronse branding and clickable navigation points. Visitors choose their own sequence and decide how much time to spend at each location.

Start above the city and choose where to go

The aerial view of Ronse provides a sense of the city. Clickable location markers sit over the panorama, turning the view itself into a starting point for exploration. Visitors can take in the wider setting before selecting somewhere that catches their interest.

The opening panorama helps people get their bearings and move from a broad impression to a specific place. The overview and the next step belong to the same experience.

Look closer at the Hoge Mote courtyard

At Hoge Mote, the perspective changes. Visitors stand in the courtyard, with buildings, architectural details and greenery around them. After viewing Ronse from above, they can focus on the character of an individual location and take time to look around.

An information option offers a further step for anyone who wants more context. This gives the visitor a choice: continue exploring the image or pause to find out more. Information supports the scene without needing to occupy the entire view.

Discover a different side of Ronse in the forest

The Geuzentoren in the Muziekbos introduces a change of setting. Buildings and city streets give way to trees, woodland paths and a distinctive tower. The scene shows another reason to consider Ronse: the opportunity to combine a city visit with time outdoors.

This variety gives visitors something concrete to work with when planning a trip. Someone interested in heritage can follow that interest. Someone looking for a mix of culture and nature can see how both might fit into the same day out.

Give destination marketing a useful next step

Virtual tours for tourism can help people move from general curiosity to a clearer idea of what they want to visit. The experience provides visual context, lets visitors explore different settings and helps them identify the places that appeal to them.
