I like the concept of World Heritage, and I like to travel, so combining these two is very enjoyable. However, I don't travel outside of Europe that often, so my ultimate goal would be to visit all WH sites in Europe.

My most impressive site: Rome and Grand Canyon

My proposal for a new site: Mount Vesuvius and Phlegreian Fields, Historic University Towns of Oxford and Cambridge, Windsor Castle, Death Valley National Park, Old Town of Hall in Tirol and Schwaz Silver Mines, Historic Centre of Innsbruck and Ambras Castle, Bavarian Royal Castles, Moon Landing Sites: Cape Canaveral/Kennedy Space Center and Houston/Johnson Space Center (Mission Control)

City of Bath by Hubert

City of Bath (Inscribed)

City of Bath

I have to say that I was somewhat disappointed by Bath. The Roman Baths are very impressive, very well preserved, and definitely worth a visit despite the price, but the …

Archaeological Site of Aigai by Argo

Archaeological Site of Aigai (Inscribed)

Archaeological Site of Aigai

There are few accessible sites associated with Alexander the Great, his father Philip II, and ancient Macedonia in general, but Vergina is one of them and a very interesting one …

Thessalonika by Els Slots

Thessalonika (Inscribed)

Thessalonika

Thessaloniki was a pleasant surprise for me. I hadn't thought much about it before, but it's really a very clean and modern metropolis with a nice view of the sea …

Westminster by Hubert

Westminster (Inscribed)

Westminster

Westminster is one of those unmissable (and not to be missed) sites that you just stumble across when you come to London and that you can´t escape - you come …

Acropolis by Els Slots

Acropolis (Inscribed)

Acropolis

Athens is an interesting city and much less dirty, crowded, and noisy than most people seem to believe, but its attractions are few and far between (great archaeological museum, though). …

Tower of London by Argo

Tower of London (Inscribed)

Tower of London

It's certainly true that the entrance fee for the Tower is out of this planet (same for other London attractions like Buckingham Palace) and the lines are about a kilometer …

Maritime Greenwich by Clyde

Maritime Greenwich (Inscribed)

Maritime Greenwich

Greenwich is a site that truly deserves its listing on the WHS. Apart from being very easy to reach from central London, Greenwich's importance in the fields of science, navigation, …

Schönbrunn by Els Slots

Schönbrunn (Inscribed)

Schönbrunn

There are plenty of comments on the history and culture of Schönbrunn already, so just a few words on this great attraction: first of all, some people seem to believe …

Archaeological Site of Delphi by Nan

Archaeological Site of Delphi (Inscribed)

Archaeological Site of Delphi

Delphi is one of those places whose ancient importance cannot really be seen today anymore, just felt and imagined. It is located in a beautiful mountain setting, on the Parnassus …

Rome by Els Slots

Rome (Inscribed)

Rome

Rome is in my humble opinion the greatest city on the planet. While I like many others as well, none comes close to Rome in terms of history, culture, architecture, …

Grand Place, Brussels by Els Slots

Grand Place, Brussels (Inscribed)

Grand Place, Brussels

Probably one of the smallest WH sites, but when you're in Brussels, you will get there anyway, and it is a very impressive place. Not really as big as the …

Brugge by Luis Filipe Gaspar

Brugge (Inscribed)

Brugge

I agree that it´s very hard to determine whether Brugge is Europe´s best-preserved medieval city, but it certainly ranks very near the top. The fact that after the city´s Hanseatic …

Vienna by Els Slots

Vienna (Inscribed)

Vienna

I´m probably a little biased on this site, since I have been there so many (innumerable, practically) times. The World Heritage area is just the Inner City (the First District), …

Canterbury by Els Slots

Canterbury (Inscribed)

Canterbury

Canterbury is one of the most important places in Britain from a historical, religous, and archaeological point of view, and it makes a worthwhile daytrip from London or a convenient …

Vatican City by Solivagant

Vatican City (Inscribed)

Vatican City

Very few World Heritage Sites can claim to take up an entire country (only this one, really), and the Vatican City is an unusual country, to say the very least. …

City of Luxembourg by Els Slots

City of Luxembourg (Inscribed)

City of Luxembourg

I only saw Luxembourg on a daytrip from Brussels, but it was a very nice experience. On the one hand, Luxembourg is a European capital with lots of banks and …

Wet Tropics of Queensland by Solivagant

Wet Tropics of Queensland (Inscribed)

Wet Tropics of Queensland

A collection of national parks and nature reserves in northeastern Queensland, the Wet Tropics area protects the only rainforest in a first-world country. Some parts of the site are easily …

Great Barrier Reef by Clyde

Great Barrier Reef (Inscribed)

Great Barrier Reef

You could be forgiven for assuming from the other posts that only Australians would visit Great Barrier Reef, but that´s not quite true :-)

I´m not much of a sailing/diving …

Prague by Els Slots

Prague (Inscribed)

Prague

Another vote in favor of Prague from me. It's true, the city can get enormously crowded at any time of the year and day, but this is true for other …

Greater Blue Mountains by Els Slots

Greater Blue Mountains (Inscribed)

Greater Blue Mountains

I have only been to the Blue Mountains on a daytrip from Sydney, but I agree that this area is really beautiful (unless you get caught in one of the …
