Region

Europe and North America

Sponsor this region

Nearly half of the List is here, and most of it is cultural: historic town centres, cathedrals, castles, palaces and the remains of industry. North America adds national parks such as Yellowstone, and Europe keeps some of its last primeval forests. With so many sites close together, this is the easiest region for a long weekend by train. The best-known places are also the busiest, so go early or out of season.
