Swedish World Heritage sites
UNESCO's World Heritage List includes 812 properties around the world that form part of the cultural and natural heritage which the World Heritage Committee considers to have outstanding universal value. These include 628 cultural, 160 natural and 24 mixed properties in 137 States.
The world heritage list attracts hundreds of thousands of travellers who want to see these creme de la cremes of sights up close and in person. Sweden can fill part of their requirements, since 14 of the sites are located in Sweden, and 3 of them in the Stockholm area.
