World Heritage Sites

I made a list this morning of all the UNESCO World Heritage Sites I've visited, for no particular reason. There are 830 properties on the list, and I've visited... 24 of them. I guess I'd better get cracking.

I was suprised to see so many Italian entries on my list. Though I guess it makes sense, since I was playing tourist the entire month I was there, as opposed to working all week and having fun on the weekends like almost every other place I've traveled to.

FRANCE:

  • Paris, Banks of the Seine
GERMANY:
  • Old Town of Regensburg with Stadtamhof
INDIA:
  • Agra Fort, Uttar Pradesh
  • Fatehpur Sikri, Uttar Pradesh
  • Group of Monuments at Mahabalipuram, Tamil Nadu
  • Taj Mahal, Uttar Pradesh
ITALY:
  • Historic Centre of Rome
  • Historic Centre of Florence
  • Historic Centre of Naples
  • Historic Centre of Siena
  • Piazza del Duomo, Pisa
  • Portovenere, Cinque Terre, and the Islands (Palmaria, Tino and Tinetto)
  • Venice and its Lagoon
  • Vatican City
  • Archæological Areas of Pompeii, Herculaneum and Torre Annunziata
  • Assisi, the Basilica of San Francesco d'Assisi and other Franciscan Sites
  • City of Verona
LUXEMBOURG:

  • Tower of London
  • Westminster Abbey, Palace of Westminster, Westminster School and Saint Margaret's Church
UNITED STATES:

And yes, I'm still bitter that I let them talk me out of Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland.
