Novodevichy Convent by Jay T

Novodevichy Convent (Inscribed)

Novodevichy Convent

The grounds of Novodevichy Convent are so serene you can almost forget you are in the middle of Russia's largest city. The convent was built by the Grand Prince of …

Iguazu National Park by Jay T

Iguazu National Park (Inscribed)

Iguazu National Park

Pictures can't do justice to Iguazu Falls -- you have to visit to fully experience the sound, the mist, the utter immensity of these waterfalls. After my visit in March …

Evora by Jay T

Evora (Inscribed)

Evora

I'm not sure I saw Évora at its best, since I visited on a cool, rainy autumn day in 2012, but I was impressed with the Roman monuments and Portuguese …

Ancient Thebes by Jay T

Ancient Thebes (Inscribed)

Ancient Thebes

The temples and monuments of Ancient Thebes, including the tombs in the Valley of the Kings and the Valley of the Queens, are a must-see for anyone interested in Egyptian …

Um er-Rasas by Jay T

Um er-Rasas (Inscribed)

Um er-Rasas

Of the four inscribed Jordanian World Heritage Sites I visited in spring 2015, Um er-Rasas was the one for which I had the least expectations, but I'm glad I went …

Rome by Jay T

Rome (Inscribed)

Rome

Rome is a world-class city full of architectural wonders, as well as my favorite Italian gastronomic delight -- gelato. After spending hours in the sun touring the Colosseum and the …

New Lanark by Jay T

New Lanark (Inscribed)

New Lanark

I went to New Lanark expecting to see a mill town similar to those I'd seen in the eastern United States, and I was not disappointed when I visited in …

Iguacu by Jay T

Iguacu (Inscribed)

Iguacu

I'd heard that Iguaçu National Park in Brazil offered the best views of Iguazu Falls, and the park did not disappoint. All visitors must ride a bus from the park …

Everglades by Jay T

Everglades (Inscribed)

Everglades

Everglades National Park just made it into this site's Top 200 (or more accurately 208) list, and I'm glad it got that recognition, since it is one of my favorite …

Australian Convict Sites by Jay T

Australian Convict Sites (Inscribed)

The Australian Convict Sites are a testament to the significant role British prisoners made in shaping the country. Intrigued by Australian history, I visited two of these sites in June …

Upper Middle Rhine Valley

Some of the best German memories I have are from the day I spent traveling through the Upper Middle Rhine Valley by boat between St Goar and Bacharach. The Rhine …

Royal Exhibition Building by Jay T

Royal Exhibition Building (Inscribed)

Royal Exhibition Building

Australia has many iconic sites that have become World Heritage Sites: the Great Barrier Reef, Uluru, the Sydney Opera House; and then it has the much lesser known Royal Exhibition …

Nikko by Jay T

Nikko (Inscribed)

Nikko

Nikko is an enchanting complex of temples, shrines, and gardens idyllically located in mountains north of Tokyo. The site is located within Nikko National Park, which is an easy day …

Istanbul by Jay T

Istanbul (Inscribed)

Istanbul

Istanbul was Constantinople, now it's Istanbul not Constantinople, and I have to say the city is just about as addictive as the song. I visited Istanbul twice on a trip …

Frontiers of the Roman Empire by Jay T

Frontiers of the Roman Empire (Inscribed)

Frontiers of the Roman Empire

The Antonine Wall in Scotland, constructed almost 1900 years ago, was the northernmost Roman barrier in Europe, and became the newest extension to the Frontiers of the Roman Empire World …

Amsterdam Canal Ring by Jay T

Amsterdam Canal Ring (Inscribed)

Amsterdam Canal Ring

I really wish the Netherlands had made it to the World Cup Final in 2014, because that would have made my visit to Amsterdam and its canal ring even more …

Uluru by Jay T

Uluru (Inscribed)

Uluru

Uluru is one of the iconic symbols of Australia, and for good reason. This desert monolith in the center of the continent is as awe-inspiring as pictures suggest, and I …

Rietveld Schröderhuis by Jay T

Rietveld Schröderhuis (Inscribed)

Rietveld Schröderhuis

I'm glad the Rietveld Schröder House is a World Heritage Site because not only is it an impressive piece of architecture, it also introduced me to the wonderful city of …

Naples by Jay T

Naples (Inscribed)

Naples

I hadn't heard a lot of positive things about Naples from friends, but I rather enjoyed my short visit in spring 2013. Like many visitors, Naples was a stopping off …

Ibiza by Jay T

Ibiza (Inscribed)

Ibiza

There are some who go to Ibiza for the parties, and there are some who go for the World Heritage Site; count me in the latter group. When I was …
