My wife and I love travel and have been going on adventures every chance we get since the day we got married. Our home base is in the PNW in the U.S. I love history, so World Heritage Sites are always one of the first items I look up when we are travelling to a new place. I try to visit a new country every year.

Poblet Monastery by Els Slots

Poblet Monastery (Inscribed)

Poblet Monastery

I have to agree with Andrew_Kerr that this site deserves higher ratings than it was previously receiving, and from reading the older reviews it seems to be largely due to …

Tarraco by Els Slots

Tarraco (Inscribed)

Tarraco

For me, Tarraco (Tarragona as it is called today) is a light 3.5 stars for me, bordering on a 3. As you can gather from the other reviews on here, …

Vall de Boi by Els Slots

Vall de Boi (Inscribed)

Vall de Boi

Though Hubert's review is over a decade old, it was the most recent one written before my May 2025 trip to Vall de Boi and I have to say, not …

Madriu-Perafita-Claror Valley

This is an area with some very beautiful hikes! I recommend a visit after seeing it in May 2025!

Now, whether this site is of "outstanding value to humanity", …

Palau de la Musica Catalana & Hospital de Sant Pau by Els Slots

Palau de la Musica Catalana &… (Inscribed)

Palau de la Musica Catalana & Hospital de Sant Pau

Visited in May 2025. These two works by the Catalan architect Lluís Domènech i Montaner are both excellent locations to visit, and as other reviewers have said, are just as …

Works of Antoni Gaudí by Els Slots

Works of Antoni Gaudí

Visited in May 2025. This site maintains a very high rating for a reason. The work is incredible.

One recommendation I hadn't seen on any of the reviews so …

Aranjuez by Els Slots

Aranjuez (Inscribed)

Aranjuez

Some World Heritage Sites loom large and will stun and wow people no matter who you are or where you are travelling from. I think of my time at Victoria …

Vizcaya Bridge by Els Slots

Vizcaya Bridge (Inscribed)

Vizcaya Bridge

I was expecting to be pretty underwhelmed by this WHS (after all, it is just a bridge...) but it was actually quite a bit better than I expected! I visited …

El Escurial by Els Slots

El Escurial (Inscribed)

El Escurial

My visit to El Escorial was in November 2024 as a part of my nine months living in Madrid, Spain, and I have to say, El Escorial continues to stand …

Oporto by Els Slots

Oporto (Inscribed)

Oporto

Oporto! March 2025 visit. I think my expectations for this city were a bit too high. It's certainly nice and you won't regret visiting here, but in my opinion the …

Medina Azahara by Els Slots

Medina Azahara (Inscribed)

Medina Azahara

I was pretty underwhelmed with this site during my March 2025 visit (apparently just days after Alikander99 was there!) but I believe this is because I did not hire a …

Cordoba by Nan

Cordoba (Inscribed)

Cordoba

I did this as a joint-trip to Córdoba and Sevilla in March 2025 with my wife and a friend of ours, and while I wanted to like Córdoba more, I …

Mudejar Architecture of Aragon by Els Slots

Mudejar Architecture of Aragon (Inscribed)

Mudejar Architecture of Aragon

This WHS is a little bit weird to "review" as are many of the dispersed-location sites that highlight "examples of" a certain style of something. (Whether that be something natural …

Seville by Nan

Seville (Inscribed)

Seville

Sevilla! Gorgeous! In our Sevilla/Córdoba trip, I had wanted to like Córdoba more, but Sevilla was just too darn good. Visited March 2025.

The other reviews already describe …

La Chaux-de-Fonds / Le Locle by Els Slots

La Chaux-de-Fonds / Le Locle (Inscribed)

La Chaux-de-Fonds / Le Locle

I visited this WHS in July 2023. We were staying in Geneva with a cousin who was working at CERN, and I had heard about La Chaux-de-Fonds being famous as …

Medina of Fez by Els Slots

Medina of Fez (Inscribed)

Medina of Fez

Wow, I can't believe this site hasn't had a new review in nearly seven years! However, it's not as if this 1,000+ year old medina has changed much in such …

Rabat by Carlo Sarion

Rabat (Inscribed)

Rabat

Rabat is a solid WHS worth seeing. (I visited in Feb 2025.) It's not the most amazing tourist destination compared to other cities, but it holds its own as a …

Hal Saflieni Hypogeum by Luis Filipe Gaspar

Hal Saflieni Hypogeum (Inscribed)

Hal Saflieni Hypogeum

There were two deaf people in my group of visitors. At the beginning of the tour, everyone is given a fully automatic hand-held speaker to hold up to their ear …

Toledo by Els Slots

Toledo (Inscribed)

Toledo

Wow, when I went to Toledo I was not expecting it to become my new favorite city that I have travelled to in all of Spain! I visited this WHS …

Salamanca by 2Flow2

Salamanca (Inscribed)

Salamanca

A beautiful old city! Others here have already done a good job explaining what is best to see in the town so I will keep this review fairly brief as …
