UNESCO context and quick facts
UNESCO’s World Heritage List highlights places considered to have “outstanding universal value,” meaning their importance goes beyond national borders. Sites can be added, monitored, placed on the “in danger” list, and even delisted in rare cases when key values are lost.
Tips for better scores
When you’re unsure, look for geographic hints (language, nearby landmarks, climate) and elimination cues (site type, era, or distinctive materials). Keeping a mental map by continent can also make country-matching questions much easier.
