The World Heritage Wealth of Hungary, Italy (Sicily), and Portugal
The UNESCO World Heritage program was created to identify and preserve the most remarkable cultural, historical, and natural treasures of our world. These places, scattered throughout the globe, offer unique snapshots of history, glimpses of nature at its finest, or a chance to experience vibrant local cultures.
Hungary, Italy (Sicily), and Portugal all have their fair (well, maybe unfair!) share of these sites, and no trip to visit these countries would be complete without exploring at least one or two of these marvelous locations.
But knowing when, how and which ones to visit is not always easy, and building the rest of your itinerary around what can sometimes be quite distant destinations can be hard work. Luckily Smart Plans is here to do all of that for you.

With over 30 World Heritage sites scattered across the three destinations, regardless of which one you are traveling to, Hungary, Italy (Sicily), and Portugal have an overwhelming number of sites to choose from.

A Glimpse of The World Heritage Wonders of Hungary, Italy (Sicily), and Portugal
If you are unsure what to see when visiting these regions, World Heritage Sites often make for ideal destinations. Whether of historical importance, natural beauty, or cultural significance, all are chosen because they preserve something truly unique about the region, country, or world.
In Hungary, the capital of Budapest is unmissable, but we will help you visit and experience each of the many significant historical periods captured in the architecture of this truly unique world heritage site.
In Italy (Sicily), nature lovers may choose to hike the volcanic summit of Mount Etna or take a boat out to the Aeolian Islands, while others may prefer the historical and cultural sights of Syracuse, where the impact of Greek, Roman, Arab, Norman, and Italian cultures are all visible to this day.
An entire trip could be planned around the world heritage sites within less than a day’s travel of Portugal’s capital, Lisbon, or you could travel along the coast from the cultural landscape of Sintra in the south to the Bom Jesus do Monte chapel in Braga in the north.
There is no doubt that each of these nations offers a breathtaking variety of natural and cultural wonders, of which the World Heritage Sites may just be the very most iconic.
