UNESCO World Heritage Sites
I didn't set out to visit UNESCO World Heritage sites but they do have an attraction now and so if I'm going somewhere new I check to see if there is one nearby that I can easily visit. Mostly they have been cultural heritage, probably because I am visiting the city anyway but the official list is heavily stacked with them. There are some surprising omissions to the official list, such as no sites in Bhutan, so I wouldn't be surprised if some other places that I have visited eventually get on the list. Also while this slideshow seems to go on forever there are many more places that I could visit!
Perhaps this list should be ordered in some way but it's largely not. Mostly the order is the order I plucked the image from my image catalogue, although Alhambra was the first image I thought of when creating the list so it gets to go first.
