For 25 years I've visited World Heritage Sites and at every site there is always an interesting story to learn, regardless if it is a pyramid in Egypt or a small runic stone in Denmark. Up until today I've visited 255 sites and can't wait until I can hop on a train or a plane and go visit a few more.

My most impressive site: The Pyramid Fields (Egypt), Petra (Jordan), Venice (Italy), Taj Mahal (India), Ellora Caves (India)

My proposal for a new site:

Being a World Heritage site-tourist, visiting the pyramids of Giza and Dashshur for the first time in your life, is of course a very special experience. At least when you …

Rock Art of Alta by Christer Sundberg

The town of Alta is not what-so-ever worth a detour. Spread out over 5 km with not less than three centres it could certainly pose as the Norwegian equivalent of …

Beemster Polder

More of historic value to the Netherlands than actually a place to visit, could be a way to characterise the Droogmakerij de Beemster Polder. Droogmakerij means “make dry” in Dutch …
