HE WORLD IS a big, wonderful place and deciding where to go next can feel like a challenging (though exciting!) project. Fortunately, UNESCO has done some of the legwork for you with its list of World Heritage sites: a collection of landmarks around the world that have been chosen for their deep cultural and historical significance to humanity. The World Heritage List features more than 1,000 sites, so we’ve narrowed the list down for you by highlighting our favourites. Some are accessible enough that you could visit next month; while others are once-in-a-lifetime trips that are well worth the journey. >
