Visit 5 UNESCO World Heritage Sites In South Korea, Norway & More

Tourist attractions are a dime a dozen, but UNESCO World Heritage Sites, in comparison, hold a wealth of history and significance. With 24 new destinations added to its World Heritage List last year, there are now a total of 1,031 World Heritage sites inscribed in 163 countries.

New entries include the birthplace of Norway’s industrial revolution, the region where champagne is made, and an important crossroad of cultures in East Asia. Here's why you have to see these places of exceptional cultural and natural significance in person.
