⚓Discover The 5 most beautiful UNESCO heritage sites

5 places to see at least once in your life

Unesco's role is to protect international heritage. Concretely, the organization lists the sites and monuments which constitute an important place of history and culture that must be safeguarded. More than 1000 places are today registered as World Heritage by Unesco, from the gardens of Versailles to the Fjords of Norway. Difficult to sort through all these wonders, so here is a brief overview of the 5 most beautiful monuments of the world heritage. Enough to make you want to go on a trip!

1. Machu Picchu (Peru)

It has been on the Unesco list for over 30 years, but was erected in the 15th century. Machu Picchu is undoubtedly one of the most phenomenal places in the world. The lost city of the Incas is located at nearly 2500 meters above sea level. What will take your breath away!

2. Le Taj Mahal (India)

Equally incredible, he too has been on the list for over 30 years as well. Its marbled whiteness, its architecture and especially its history make it the favorite site for tourists in India. The Taj Mahal palace was built by an emperor to honor the memory of his late wife, but ultimately all of the international culture is sublimated by the building.

3. The pyramids of Giza (Egypt)

They have been the jewels of Egypt since 2584 BC, and must-see UNESCO heritage since 1979. Located near the Nile, the pyramids of Giza are impressive vestiges of the fascinating era of the pharaohs. A big slap in the face of relativism for anyone who visits them.

4. Le Mont-Saint-Michel (France)

France has nothing to be ashamed of. She has many ranked sites on the list. But judging by its popularity, Mont Saint Michel is surely its most impressive. A medieval castle located on a rocky island a few hundred meters from the coast reminds more than 3 million tourists each year of the historical richness of Normandy.

5. The Grand Canyon (United States)

Located in Arizona, this huge 1300-meter-high moat rises above the Colorado River. We must believe that tourists do not have vertigo since they are more than 5 million visitors to go there each year.
