The UNESCO World Heritage Site program began in 1978 with just twelve sites; last week, UNESCO inscribed 24 new sites into the World Heritage List, bringing the total to 1,031. From 2,000-year-old structures in Israel to the stunningly modern Botanic Gardens in the heart of Singapore, the list spans the globe to include both cultural and natural properties. Of the 24 newcomers, we’ve highlighted ten of our favorites, all of which are accessible to travelers and belong on your bucket list.
