The UNESCO World Heritage Site List is a great resource for finding places to see while traveling. I've used the list for this reason several times and have never been disappointed. And have learned about many places that I would have never known about otherwise. Its a great resource. There are several criteria for being added to this list. See the link below for the official criteria.
