TOP 3 GATEWAYS (per country)

The World Heritage Site list can overwhelm you with its LONG list (1000+ entries), and the entry’s naming does not always help in identifying which region or city we should head to for the visit unless we delve into the details.

I am compiling the list of gateways to make it easier to plan for the travel and accommodation. The gateways should have airport and have sufficient accommodation facility. However, please exercise your own judgement as this is just a guideline..

Below is the top three gateways to sites, per country. More gateways in the particular country can be found by just CLICKING the country on the left column of the table below.

This activity is still in “work in progress” stage. 69/1358 sites are completed. More to come.
