With 10,500 athletes competing in 329 events over 19 days, there’s always a lot going on at the Games. Google Search helps you stay on top of it.

2. Explore Paris with Maps and Waze
To help visitors and residents navigate Paris during the Games, Google Maps and Waze will provide updated routes for temporary driving restrictions and road closures. Waze’s new traffic events feature will notify Paris drivers of upcoming and ongoing road disruptions, which they can share directly with friends to prepare for their journeys.
The new public transport feature in Maps makes it easy to preview how to get to your destination by bus, train or metro, and make quick decisions based on the number of transfers. You can also easily find air-conditioned routes, estimate ticket costs, see real-time disruption information, track your journey right from the home screen, and find official Olympic bus routes.
When planning your trip, use Immersive View – now available for 50 new European cities – to virtually experience famous sights and sporting venues. New restaurant listings in Maps will help you create the perfect Paris food tour, from famous eateries to hidden gems. You’ll also see curated lists of attractions and activities from local travel guides like Sortiraparis.
When you’re in Paris, use augmented reality in Maps to explore the city’s iconic landmarks in a whole new way, thanks to content from Google Arts & Culture. For example, you’ll soon be able to see the original architectural designs of the Eiffel Tower from the 1900s. If you’re not in Paris, don’t worry – this content is also available on Street View.
3. Watch creator content, broadcast highlights and more on YouTube
YouTube is partnering with the official broadcasters for Paris 2024, including NBCUniversal, Eurosport, Claro, CazéTV and the IOC, to bring thousands of hours of Olympic content and highlights to fans around the world. In some markets, the official broadcasters will also live stream the events and the Opening and Closing Ceremonies on their YouTube channels.
For a closer look at what’s happening at the Games, the official broadcasters and the IOC will bring YouTube’s top creators across lifestyle, travel, food and gaming to Paris to share on-site coverage.
If several of your favorite events are happening at the same time, you can watch them all with multi-stream viewing, which lets you watch up to four streams at once. The feature will be available on Claro Sports’ YouTube channel in select Spanish-speaking countries in Latin America, and on CazéTV in Brazil. In the US, YouTube TV subscribers will be able to use multi-stream viewing during NBCUniversal’s live coverage of the Paris 2024 Olympics, as well as other features like medal standings.
