UNESCO SITES

The UNESCO World Heritage Site List

Note: Post updated September 28, 2023 listings through 2023. UNESCO awards new nominations typically in July. 

To date, UNESCO, the cultural arm of the United Nations has identified and designated 1,199 sites.  Of these, 933 are cultural properties, 227 are natural properties and and a very few (39) such as Tongariro National Park have the unique distinction of dual designation. Only three have ever been delisted; but unfortunately, 56 are in imminent danger of disappearing forever, primarily because of wars or environmental change.

A World Heritage Site is a location defined by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization as having ‘outstanding universal value.’  A World Heritage Site has special restrictions to protect it from damage and development.

In reviewing this list, I was surprised to see how many of these sites I have visited.  Several of those I have blogged about.  All have been genuinely appreciated by me for their richness of natural beauty, biodiversity, unique cultural traditions and the relationship between humans and the environment during a particular stage of human history.

I am more inspired than ever to visit more of these sites, perhaps all of them one day, and to share my experiences with you.  I am in no rush and will do so in the most sustainable manner possible (eg., minimizing air travel). The more I have traveled, the slower I have traveled and the more i have enjoyed my interactions with people, places and cultures.  This list is my dream reference list and you are sincerely invited to come along!

I have compiled this listing of all 1,199 UNESCO World Heritage Sites by country. Forty-eight sites are transnational; in which case they are listed in each of the countries where they occur, but only counted once in total sites. I checked off those which I have been fortunate enough to visit and experience.  Links are provided to the appropriate written posts.

Total number of World Heritage Sites: 1157

Sites I’ve been to in my life: 98

Sites I’ve blogged about:  21 (37 individual posts)
