In Great World Wonders, travel enthusiast and writer Michael Turtle offers a curated guide to the best UNESCO World Heritage sites around the globe, each with a fascinating tale and insight into our shared humanity.

Opulent palaces let us peek into the lives of the rich and famous, while the centers of great empires show the evolution of civilizations. There's the surprising beauty in industrial sites from the past century, and the dazzling buildings that were constructed in the name of love. And through it all is the inescapable influence of human behavior, with many of the World Heritage Sites directly linked to important historical events and people.

From icons like the Egyptian Pyramids and the Taj Mahal, to undiscovered gems like gold mines and ancient rock paintings, Great World Wonders is a beautiful collection and exploration of the best (and sometimes worst) of history. Featuring stunning photography, this selection of the most interesting World Heritage Sites is not just a source of travel inspiration, it's an incredible journey through the amazing story of our world.

Michael Turtle has been a full-time travel writer and blogger for more than a decade, visiting more than 75 countries (and going through a few passports). Michael’s interest in the culture and history of the places he visits inspired him to start seeking out World Heritage Sites and he has been to more than 320 of them on his journeys. He’s even worked for UNESCO to produce stories and photos about some of the sites.

Michael runs the popular travel blog, Time Travel Turtle, which inspires people to explore the world by seeing destinations through their heritage, people, and modern culture. He is also a weekly contributor to The Canberra Times. His articles and photos have won numerous awards, including the 2020 Best Travel Blog from the Australian Society of Travel Writers. Before he set off into the world with his backpack, Michael had worked as a national television and radio reporter at the Australian Broadcast Company (ABC), a newsreader at Triple J radio, and entertainment producer at Channel Seven in Australia.
