UNESCO World Heritage Sites

"The World Heritage List includes 830 properties forming part of the cultural and natural heritage which the World Heritage Committee considers as having outstanding universal value. These include 644 cultural, 162 natural and 24 mixed properties in 138 States Parties."

I used to think I'll go and visit all the places on the list one day. With the list getting longer and longer, I think this is probably an impossible dream...
