The World Heritage List includes 1153 properties (as of July 2021) forming part of the cultural and natural heritage which the World Heritage Committee considers as having outstanding universal value. These include 896 cultural, 218 natural and 39 mixed properties in 167 States Parties. I've visited 209 (as of July 2020). Still a long way to go, even as the list grows every year!
