The UNESCO sites of Europe

Considered to be culturally or naturally important, UNESCO-listed sites boast international interest and are protected by the heritage body. At Great Rail Journeys, many of our tours visit these prestigious sites, allowing you the opportunity to explore some of the world's greatest monuments, landscapes and cities.

Why not visit the stunning Plitvice Lakes on our delightful tour of Slovenia, Croatia & Montenegro? One of the very first natural World Heritage sites to be declared by UNESCO, the sixteen Plitvice Lakes are connected by an incredible series of waterfalls and set in a beautiful 116 square-mile National Park. Alternatively, you could enjoy a visit to the picturesque UNESCO-listed village of Hallstatt on our tour of the Austrian Lake District, or visit two World Heritage Old Towns and the stunning listed city of St Petersburg on our Baltic Explorer holiday.

Further afield, the spectacular city temples of Angkor Wat and Angkor Thom await, and our visit to them is a highlight of our tour of Vietnam, Cambodia & the Mekong Delta. These proud monuments of Cambodian culture are internationally-acclaimed sites of religious and cultural importance, and superb examples of preserved ancient architecture. With many tours to incredible UNESCO World Heritage sites such as these, you can experience the world's treasures on your Great Rail Journeys holiday.

Highlights of Tuscany

31/May

Mr R Stallabrass

“Very nice tour of Tuscany for 7 nights in mid-May. Stayed in pleasant Spa town with good rail connenctions to Florence, Lucca and Pisa. The other two day trips were by coach. A very nice evening on a family wine estate in the hills, with superb meal and variety of wines to have with. As always with Great Rail the Tour Manager was really excellent. Also good hotels for overnight there and back. Pick ups by coach where necessary all fine and on time, no trains missed and no one lost. This was my 12th trip with Great Rail, going as far back as 2006

Rome, Sorrento and the Amalfi Coast

Mr Knox

“This is a holiday I long wanted to go on seeing Pompeii and Herculaneum. It did not disappoint though the weather was not quite as expected due to some rain and low cloud. Amalfi and it’s history is amazing. The Archaeological Museum in Naples should be a must as well.

Avignon, the Rhône and Provence

Anne

“A lovely holiday. Not too tiring as we were based in Avignon. Hotel Le Tour l'Horloge was excellent. Excursions well organised and guide at Palais des Papes particularly good. Poorest day was 3 hrs at Isle sur le Sorgues. Shops in France shut for 2 hours at lunchtime and there was little to do. Trains very comfortable and not too much time spent hanging around stations.

“We really enjoyed our holiday in Austria, fantastic scenery, the highlight our holiday was the day we did the Sound of Music and the Austrian Lake District, the local guide, Trudy was so good, we had music from the film played in the coach and many of us sung along.
