15 Most Amazing UNESCO World Heritage Sites

The United Nations Education, Scientific, and Cultural Organization was formed in 1945 as a specialist branch of the United Nations that would focus on encouraging cooperation between countries in education, the arts, science, and culture. More commonly known as UNESCO, it began the World Heritage Site Program in 1972 whereby it would designate places around the globe as ones that should be protected because of cultural or natural importance. Today, 1,154 have been added to the list, which has proven to be one of the most successful initiatives to have come from the U.N. It’s time, then, to explore some of them… so join us, as we take a tour around the world to visit the 15 most amazing UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

Why is this channel named Top Fives if every list is 15?

[iteerrex]

Great video 👍, and thanks for taking the time to utter the correct pronunciation of other languages. We usually Americanize them, or better yet, butcher them lol

[MeYou-kwxf]

Salt, Gold, Ivory and SLAVES that just rolled off the tongue like slaves were just another thing not people wow🤦🏾‍♀️ damn shame

[Leopez]

We have unesco's heritage sitie here in Finland too, Rauma's old city. But from that list this bahama national park is beautiful. 🌊

[erichcapin]

The acropolis is a great way to get me fired up about hatred...learn what they did there.

[marquesgorham]

You're number one pick for world uNesco heritage site was really underwhelming and disappointing

[drewkline]

The Smokey Mountains being on here is a joke. I wouldnt even put it top 100

[bgrockylayek]

😂 kailash temple is the most beautiful UNESCO sites you missed, it is the wonder of ancient architecture

[phyuphyu]

You forgot Botanic Garden in Singapore

[BobF]

I'm moved by the authenticity of this content. A book with parallel ideas influenced a significant change in me. "Temporal Echoes: Amelia's Odyssey Through Ancestral Shadows" by Vivian Rosewood

[jiteshrajoriya]

Bro you forgot India's haritage sites

[kapilsankhla]

This list is absurd...they haven't added Taj Mahal or Great It is like someone's personal bucket list..not for everyone

[ashsahas]

Western world still has some phobia or negative prejudice about Bharat (India) tjat probably is the trove of oldest cultures and heritage places.
Mist western world surprisingly likes to drop skip Bharat.
Either they are purposely ignorant or fools in my opinion
