The World Heritage Sites

Tweet

Hello and welcome to The World Heritage Sites!

This website takes you on an armchair journey all over the world to uncover and learn about all the universally outstanding sites that have been recognised by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) as World Heritage Sites. This site is however not a UNESCO Site and it has no connection with UNESCO. It is created to celebrate all the World Heritage Sites that have been inscribed by UNESCO, but it is not endorsed by UNESCO and is in no way associated with the organization.

The World Heritage Sites as inscribed represent some of the most beautiful, outstanding and famous places on earth. They are sites that have been recognised for their outstanding universal value by UNESCO, based on their cultural or physical significance.

Whether you are planning a visit to any of the sites mentioned here, or simply browsing for fun, you will find in this website a treasure trove of information on the World Heritage Sites. You can now follow my Twitter updates at twitter.com/mytravelguides to be kept abreast of new pages added. If you wish to contribute to this website, get the details here.

Without further ado, please come in and enjoy!
