List 09 -- UNESCO World Heritage sites I have visited

UNESCO World Heritage sites are locations (parks, mountains, cities, etc.) that are maintained by the International World Heritage Programme. The goal of this programme is to conserve historical and culturally significant regions of the world deemed important to humanity. The current list is comprised of 851 sites!
