Reviews by Jay T


Villa d'Este (Inscribed)
Villa d'Este
There is no doubt that Villa d'Este is a beautiful site, a fine house with gardens sloping down a hillside overlooking the Italian countryside. The town of Tivoli itself, surrounding …

Tower of Hercules (Inscribed)
Tower of Hercules
A statue greets visitors to the Tower of Hercules, but the statue is not the Greek or Roman hero. No, it is instead a Celtic king, a legend named Breogán, …

Segovia (Inscribed)
Segovia
Segovia was one of my favorite day trips from Madrid. Maybe not quite as amazing as Toledo, but most certainly memorable. The city is perched on a plateau, with a …

Rapa Nui (Inscribed)
Rapa Nui
Rapa Nui. Easter Island. The name evokes adventure, and it was my main reason for choosing Chile as my country to visit for Leap Day 2020. I lived in Hawaii …

Olympic National Park (Inscribed)
Olympic National Park
Olympic National Park has everything I love in a national park: mountains, lakes, great trails, and wildlife. It even borders the coast, with amazing scenery where the Pacific Ocean laps …

Machu Picchu (Inscribed)
Machu Picchu
There's a good reason Machu Picchu remains one of the highest rated World Heritage Sites -- this Inca city is spectacularly and photogenically set atop a mountain ridge in the …

Hal Saflieni Hypogeum (Inscribed)
Hal Saflieni Hypogeum
Ħal Saflieni Hypogeum is definitely worth the planning it requires to visit this underground tomb complex. Hypogeum literally means underground, and this site lay dormant and forgotten below the surface …

Etruscan Necropolises (Inscribed)
Etruscan Necropolises
The Etruscan Necropolises of Cerveteri and Tarquinia were one of the more challenging World Heritage Sites for me to visit because of the irregular bus schedule serving Cerveteri and the …

Carlsbad Caverns (Inscribed)
Carlsbad Caverns
Deep in southern New Mexico, not far from the Texan border, a subterranean paradise extends for miles under the desert landscape. The United States established a park to protect the …

Bamberg (Inscribed)
Bamberg
The Town of Bamberg was the World Heritage Site I was most looking forward to when I traveled to Germany in March 2019. The distinctive half-timbered addition to the Old …

Würzburg Residence (Inscribed)
Würzburg Residence
In these days of social distancing and stay-at-home orders, what better World Heritage Site could there be to review than one whose Outstanding Universal Value is best appreciated from the …

Valletta (Inscribed)
Valletta
The City of Valletta is an incredible sight when arriving by boat, as sandy fortress walls rise up from the harbor, topped with gardens, church domes and spires, and tiers …

St. Petersburg (Inscribed)
St. Petersburg
The Historic Centre of Saint Petersburg and Related Groups of Monuments is easily my favorite of all World Heritage Sites I've seen in Russia. This 300-year-old city was wrested from …

Roman Walls of Lugo (Inscribed)
Roman Walls of Lugo
The Romans left a mark on northwestern Spain that can still be seen today in bridges, ancient villages, gold mines, a lighthouse, and, most spectacularly, the Roman Walls of Lugo. …

Popocatepetl monasteries (Inscribed)
Popocatepetl monasteries
Volcanoes bring tremendous change to their environments, and fittingly the 16th-century monasteries established around the active volcano Popocatépetl, southeast of Mexico city, effected tremendous cultural change on the peoples of …

Mount Etna (Inscribed)
Mount Etna
Last November I was rather excited that planning worked out and that my 200th World Heritage Site would be a natural site: Mount Etna. I had scheduled a day tour …

Luis Barragán House and Studio (Inscribed)
Luis Barragán House and Studio
It's a bit of an education incorporating World Heritage Sites into travel. When I took a trip to Mexico City in January 2017, I knew I'd be viewing several sites …

Gulf of Porto (Inscribed)
Gulf of Porto
My most recent World Heritage Site visit was truly serendipitous, since the last day of my Mediterranean cruise was to take me to Monaco last December. Instead, due to rough …

El Escurial (Inscribed)
El Escurial
While wandering through a Spanish palace last year, I ran across a room full of paintings of the Wonders of the World. On one wall was a representation of the …
