ARCHITECTURE [The 29 new UNESCO World Heritage sites and why you should visit them]( [Every year, UNESCO adds properties of amazing cultural and natural significance to its list of heritage sites, which are legally protected from destruction or use during wartime through international treaties. Currently, there are 1,121 World Heritage sites scattered throughout the world, including the historic Acropolis in Greece, India’s dazzling Taj Mahal, and Australia’s Great Barrier Reef. This year saw the addition of 29 new sites to the UNESCO list, ranging from prehistoric Polish mines to Japanese burial mounds, and they are all worth planning a trip around.]( [LEARN ABOUT THE NEW HERITAGE SITES]( LATEST ARTICLES --------------------------------------------------------------- TRIP PLANNING [This map shows how to stay in perfect weather all year]( --------------------------------------------------------------- FOOD & DRINK [The 6 best Miami breakfast spots whether you want to eat hearty or healthy]( --------------------------------------------------------------- SEX + DATING [How to deal with sexual harassment abroad]( --------------------------------------------------------------- HIKING [From Athens to the home of the gods: hiking Mount Olympus]( --------------------------------------------------------------- NEWS [Queer Eye’s Fab Five are hitting Japan this fall]( --------------------------------------------------------------- NEWS [The songs of humpback whales tell us where they’ve traveled]( MATADOR CITY GUIDE TRIP PLANNING [The Ultimate Guide to Vancouver]( Vancouver’s main asset is its good looks — you get views of towering mountains and calm ocean inlets from just about every street corner in Canada’s ultimate Pacific Rim outpost. Consequently, outdoor life draws many travelers to Van, and you don’t need to travel far to hit the slopes at Grouse or Cypress, be alone on hiking trails, take a swim in the ocean, or spot cool wildlife — you can see herons, seals, or even eagles mere steps from your hotel. If you’re not into all that nature stuff, though, not a problem — the urban life is just as impressive. Check out the city’s funky neighborhoods like Mount Pleasant for independent boutiques, thrift stores, and global designers. Then, feast your soul. From cutting-edge cocktail bars and craft breweries to some of the best Chinese food outside of China, Vancouver is the best place in western Canada to put on a few delicious pounds.
