Experience World Heritage in Canada
World Heritage experiences reflect humanity’s most inspiring achievements and nature’s most extraordinary environments.
Canada is home to 20 UNESCO World Heritage sites, an international honour only given to places recognized for their universal importance to all humanity. These global treasures are as unique as Egypt’s pyramids and Australia’s Great Barrier Reef. Canada’s World Heritage experiences also include 12 “tentative list” candidates, destinations that are officially recognized for their potential to achieve World Heritage status.
