Hard to rate this one, since it depends on what metric you're going for. The site itself is pretty enough, and Wizard's Mound offers great views of the surrounding countryside …

I only truly left the country (Canada doesn't count) for the first time in 2008, and have wanted to continue traveling ever since. Having a 9-5 job makes things difficult, but I've been privileged enough to study abroad, work abroad, and occasionally take work trips, so I'm still ahead of my goal for now: as many countries visited as I am years old.
I first found out about UNESCO sites while researching an upcoming trip, and have been enamored with the whole concept ever since. Along with Atlas Obscura, I use UNESCO to help plan my trips to new countries. I figure, if the UN thought it was important, I should probably visit.
This site taught me that that thinking is a bit optimistic (considering the politics of UNESCO), but at least there's a good chance that the sites one visits are at least somewhat important, and sometimes even spectacular.
My most impressive site: St Kilda
My proposal for a new site: French Quarter, New Orleans

Bahla Fort
Beautiful site, but the fort wasn't accessible when I went there (2012). From what I recall, it had been under some sort of renovation since the early '90s, so I …

My impression of this site was personally 5-star, but I'm also relatively new to UNESCO sites and may not have a great standard for comparison.
I had just quit …
