Goway Recommends 9 UNESCO World Heritage sites to Discover in Europe

February, 2019

With so many destinations to choose from in Europe, visitors can discover exciting, cosmopolitan cities, gorgeous coastlines, islands, and country sides, hidden architectural gems, Christmas markets and of course a variety of delectable food, wine and unique culinary traditions. Europe has an endless array of things to do and see any time of the year, appealing to both the young and young at heart. Craig Canvin, VP Product Europe for Goway, says “We are seeing travelers becoming more conscious of their global footprint and looking for deeper, more educational experiences.” One way that travelers can do this is by incorporating UNESCO World Heritage sites into their itineraries.

Promoting peace, social justice, human rights, and international security, UNESCO designates cultural and natural sites of significant importance to humanity as part of its World Heritage list. To date, the agency preserves 1073 World Heritages sites in 167 countries.
