There's just over a week left until the World Cup (http://mashable.com/category/world-cup/?utm_campaign=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_cid=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_medium=feed&utm_source=rss) kicks off in Brazil, so if you're planning on attending and need help finding your way around the event, Google Maps (http://mashable.com/category/google-maps/?utm_campaign=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_cid=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_medium=feed&utm_source=rss) has come up with a solution

Starting Wednesday, you can explore the insides of all 12 stadiums hosting the World Cup, as well as surrounding areas via Street View (http://mashable.com/category/street-view/?utm_campaign=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_cid=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_medium=feed&utm_source=rss).

Previously, stadiums such as Rua Professor Eurico Rabelo in Rio de Janeiro could easily be found (https://www.google.com/maps/place/Rua+Professor+Eurico+Rabelo+-+Maracan%C3%A3/@-22.9139709,-43.2310695,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m2!3m1!1s0x997e5db01ac86b:0xd5476a1 23fb6e40b) on Google Maps, but their interiors remained closed off to Street View's virtual lens

Getting an early visual head start on the stadiums and their layouts could be vital, as the arenas will be spread out across Belo Horizonte, Curitiba, Natal, Rio de Janeiro (http://mashable.com/category/rio-de-janeiro/?utm_campaign=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_cid=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_medium=feed&utm_source=rss), Salvador, Porto Alegre, Brasilia, Fortaleza, Cuiaba, Manaus, Recife and Sao Paulo Read more...
