UNESCO

One cannot go wrong with a UNESCO World Heritage Site. 

UNESCO World Heritage Sites are judged to contain “cultural and natural heritage around the world considered to be of outstanding value to humanity”. I just think that UNESCO has a habit of picking the coolest places.

I don’t plan my trip around visiting UNESCO sites. However, they seem to show up a lot in my travels. Probably because they choose the coolest places.

Below I have listed all my posts related to UNESCO World Heritage Sites. They might be the main reason for a post or just found while wandering around. I tend to do that.
