Since 1997, I have traveled extensively with a focus on World Heritage Sites (WHS) while working in ICT management. I quit in 2022, and since then, I have been dedicating all my time to WHS (including running this website) and WH travel.
Plans for 2025
Scotland in August
Big Trip to #1,000 (November/December)
My most impressive site: Kathmandu Valley (Nepal)
My proposal for a new site: Janaki Mandir, Janakpur (Nepal), Puthia (Bangladesh)

Evora (Inscribed)
Evora
This must be the largest disappointment of my Portugal trip. The town's beauty is sung by many guidebooks, and it has become very touristy.
Even around Christmas, quite a …

El Escurial (Inscribed)
El Escurial
I almost missed this one! Really, I could tell some stories about world heritages that I didn't see because I couldn't find them. Not a good sense of direction I'm …

Monastery of Alcobaça (Inscribed)
Monastery of Alcobaça
One of my Portuguese favourites, this site is. Two hours by public bus from Lisbon, through continuous rain, took me there.
But the sun started to shine when I …

Segovia (Inscribed)
Segovia
I enjoyed some wonderful days here. Segovia is a lovely town with a friendly atmosphere. Especially in the evenings when its inhabitants go for an evening stroll in the medieval …

Convent of Christ in Tomar (Inscribed)
Convent of Christ in Tomar
This I found a sight to go really out of your way for. You have to anyway because it's quite a long drive from the major motorway between Lisbon and …

Derwent Valley Mills (Inscribed)
Derwent Valley Mills
The A6 from Derby to Matlock is the place to go when you want to see the Derwent Valley and its mills. It's a small road that crosses green valleys …

Castles of Augustusburg and Falkenlust
Brühl is a little town near Cologne that is famous for its amusement park 'Phantasialand'. I drove 2,5 hours from my home to see the castles though.
After I …

Beemster Polder (Inscribed)
Beemster Polder
So typical Dutch that it even is not remarkable anymore when you are living there. Flat, very flat, and neatly ordered. The best views of this and other polders in …

Dutch Water Defence Lines (Inscribed)
Dutch Water Defence Lines
For my visit to the Defense Line, I chose Muiden and Pampus, two of the most accessible locations. Muiden is a historical fortress-town to the east of Amsterdam. The whole …

Orkhon Valley (Inscribed)
Orkhon Valley
Karakorum nowadays is a small town in the center of Mongolia. There's even a road there from Ulan Bator, one of the few in Mongolia. The town hosts the country's …

Bryggen (Inscribed)
Bryggen
There's not much left of the special wooden houses: during the ages, a large number of them burnt down, and the remaining ones are now mainly used as souvenir shops …

Urnes Stave Church (Inscribed)
Urnes Stave Church
The world heritage sites I like best are those that require some effort to get to. That's also the case with Urnes: a flight, a local bus, a hired car …

Stonehenge (Inscribed)

At the parking lot, I bumped into a bunch of modern Druids. A cross-section of British society (old, young, men, women, white, black) were putting on white gowns that resembled …

Blaenavon Industrial Landscape (Inscribed)
Blaenavon Industrial Landscape

Arriving from Cardiff by train, Bath presents itself as a clean, quiet and green city. The railway station even is called Bath Spa, a double hint to the town's claim …

Piazza del Duomo (Pisa) (Inscribed)
Piazza del Duomo (Pisa)
Campo dei Miracoli, Field of Miracles - what a name. But the green lawn in northwestern Pisa, with its marble medieval monuments, does deserve it.
The leaning tower of …

Valparaiso (Inscribed)
Valparaiso
I had heard raving reviews about this city, but it disappointed me at first sight. There is a lot of traffic and smog, and a real town centre is hard …

Wasn't it for the World Heritage List, I would never have heard of this place. It's left out often of Chile itineraries. Chiloe is a green island, or actually a …
