Go UNESCO
Photos, advice and guides to UNESCO World Heritage Sites around the world.
There is no such thing as a boring UNESCO site. Every one of them is interesting and entertaining for some unique reason….a unique reason that you can only truly appreciate by visiting these sites in real life. Even the most beautiful photos cannot capture what makes theses destinations unique and worthy of their WHS status.
Italy and China are tied for the most UNESCO sites — both countries have 55.

Plus since 2008 there are also the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage Lists — that’s another couple of hundred things to see there. But I’m getting off-topic. You came here for UNESCO sites and UNESCO sites you shall have:
