World Heritage

One thing we seek when we travel is the opportunity to discover more about the places we visit, their culture, heritage, importance, and beauty. Some of these places are listed as World Heritage exactly because of that. Find out which ones we’ve visited so far!

A UNESCO World Heritage Site is a place that is listed by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization as of special cultural or physical significance. To find out more, visit their official site.
