I wouldn't say I let UNESCO listings dictate where I go but whenever I have decided to go somewhere I check to see what is nearby. UNESCO sites, tentative sites and former tentative sites are usually worth a visit.

My most impressive site: Old City of Havana or Valley of the Kings

Tropea (Removed from tentat…)

Tropea

Tropea is the ideal tourist town in southern Italy. Crumbling, rustic charm built on a cliff overlooking a sandy beach and the clear blue waters of the Mediterranean sea.

Rhodes by Argo

Rhodes (Inscribed)

Rhodes

When Greece opened up for package holidays, the first two major islands to be developed for mass tourism were Corfu and Rhodes, and having been to both (more than once) …

Maritime Greenwich by Clyde

Maritime Greenwich (Inscribed)

Maritime Greenwich

Greenwich, part of London but just far enough away from the center to make it seem like a place apart. It's not even on the underground network, you need to …

Brugge by Luis Filipe Gaspar

Brugge (Inscribed)

Brugge

I've been to Brugge three times and I'm yet to be disappointed.I know we are all different but I really struggle to see how people rate Brugge at three stars. …

The Bodrum Castle by Can SARICA

The Bodrum Castle (On tentative list)

The Bodrum Castle

There only appears to be one other review of the Bodrum Castle here and it's quite negative, but also fairly accurate.

Coming from Wales, we have some pretty spectacular …

Kyiv: St. Cyril's and St. Andrew's Churches

Coming from the UK, where all our great cathedrals and abbeys are built of stone with no colour on the exterior save for the stained glass windows, the cathedrals and …

Les Plages du Débarquement, Normandie, 1944, are better known in English as the D Day Landing Beaches in Normandy.The five beaches that make up the D Day landings are (from …

Fortified Manasija Monastery

On a damp October day I visited the Manasija Monastery on the way back from a day out at Resava cave and Lisine waterfall which made for a very pleasant …

Knights Fortifications around the Harbours of Malt by Astraftis

Knights Fortifications around… (On tentative list)

Knights Fortifications around the Harbours of Malt

I agree with the comments of others here, this nomination makes little sense, the city of Valletta is already a UNESCO site, it's a tiny city, the smallest capital in …

Fortress of Suomenlinna by Squiffy

Fortress of Suomenlinna (Inscribed)

Fortress of Suomenlinna

A short ferry ride across the bay from Helsinki, Suomenlinna makes for a pleasant excursion from the Finnish capital.Apart from the many fortifications there is quite a lot to see …

Ancient Greek Theatres by Els Slots

Ancient Greek Theatres (On tentative list)

Ancient Greek Theatres

I don't envy the people who have to say which of the ancient Greek theatres deserve UNESCO listing because there are a lot and even some of the small ones …

Historical Lisbon, Global City by Hubert

Historical Lisbon, Global City (Removed from tentat…)

Historical Lisbon, Global City

I've been to Lisbon a couple of times and enjoyed both visits. There's a lot see in the city that I once saw described as looking more like the Americas …

Ksar of Aït Ben Haddou by Els Slots

Ksar of Aït Ben Haddou (Inscribed)

Ksar of Aït Ben Haddou

I'm probably being overly harsh giving it 3.5 stars because it was enjoyable and I've never been anywhere like it before or after. I guess the rating I gave it …

Poblet Monastery by Els Slots

Poblet Monastery (Inscribed)

Poblet Monastery

I seem to be bucking the trend here by awarding Poblet 4 stars but I really enjoyed my visit there. It's a very impressive 14th century Cistercian abbey, set among …

Kew Gardens by Andrew_Kerr

Kew Gardens (Inscribed)

Kew Gardens

I know it's stating the obvious but.........don't go to Kew Gardens unless you're really interested in plants and gardening. I'm not and I have to be honest and say that …

Gwynedd Castles by Andrew_Kerr

Gwynedd Castles (Inscribed)

Gwynedd Castles

I'm probably biased, being born and bred in Wales and in particular North Wales so I should really rate these castles as 5 star, especially Harlech (picture) and Conwy, both …

Tyniec-Bielany Salwator (in and near Krakow)

After a couple of days in Krakow and visiting the depressing Auschwitz-Birkenau and Oscar Schindler sites we needed somewhere to chill out for a few hours, somewhere quiet and tranquil …

Smederevo Fortress by Andrew_Kerr

Smederevo Fortress (On tentative list)

Smederevo Fortress

Impressive 15th Century fortress on the banks of the river Danube. It was once a fortified city and temporarily the capital of Serbia before it was overrun by forces of …

Medina of Sousse by Andrew_Kerr

Medina of Sousse (Inscribed)

Medina of Sousse

There are a couple of component parts to the Medina that warrant a visit in their own right. The Ribat, an impressive fort dating from the 8th century that is …

City of York by Andrew_Kerr

City of York (Nominated)

City of York

York is a great little place for a weekend break. It's a compact old city that has everything, Roman and Viking remains, a Cathedral, intact city walls, river excursions and …
