UNESCO Sites



As mentioned on a previous blog UNESCO World Heritage sites are places such as a forest, island, lake, mountain, desert, monument, building, complex or city that is listed by UNESCO as of special cultural or physical significance. I had heard of this by reading travel blogs but was never really interested but after a few weeks I keep coming across these sites so thought it would be good to see how many I have been to & keep track of how many more we go to. 



This is a list of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites we have visited. As we visit more we will update this page. More get added every year so we may be able to add some that we have been to in the past. Currently I have been to 28 & Russell has been to 21. The UNESCO site link is below which has a full list of the 981 sites
