Here is my new favorite website: the World Heritage List with an interactive map. One can see all the different lists, zoom in, click on pictures of most of the sites and explore all the places UNESCO protects today!
I could spend days on this site, looking up all the cultural and natural 981 properties! These include 759 cultural, 193 natural and 29 mixed properties in 160 States Parties.

I was especially interested by what sites does my home country, Hungary have. Here they are, all 8 of them! The funny thing is thatg I have only visited 2 out of the eight...I need to go home and catch up on all of them!Hungary
