This was actually rather fun to figure out - more than I thought I had - about 50
Most in the U.K. (which I have visited several times)

I didn't realize there were so many of them. It seems like everywhere but my backyard has made the list.

I have been to quite a few, but stopped counting after about 53.

30, which is far more than I would have guessed, since I haven't been to that many countries. However, I have seen a lot of the Canadian ones, having lived in both Atlantic Canada & the West.
It definitely does give ideas of places to go...
like I need ideas...what I need is CASH!

An interesting observations - although I live in Canada I have only been to about five in our country. And only a few in the U.S. The remaining 60 or so have all been in Europe. This tells me I should be looking in my back yard a wee bit more!

I have been to more than I thought but not close to what many people have already posted.

1. Notre Dame

2. Paris, Banks of the Seine

3. Acropolis, Athens

4. Bru na Boinne, Ireland

5. Giant's Causeway & Causeway Coast, Northern Ireland

6. Historic Center of Rome

7. Stonehenge, Avebury & Associated Sites

8. Blenheim Place

9. City of Bath

10. Dorset & East Devon Coasts

11. Cornwall & West Devon Mining Landscape

12. Everglades National Park

13. Redwood National & State Parks

14. Great Smokey Mountains National Park

15. Yosemite National Park

16. Hawaii Volcanoes National Park

17. Monticello

18. Versailles

Clifton, I too have wondered why Ireland didn't have more sites listed.

65

I also think this list is kind of odd. But it was fun to try and remember and to count.

I got to 80 or 81 (did a lot of family travel growing up, which accounts for lots of these visits).

My list was heavy on places like France, Spain, Italy and the UK - mostly European sites, with Asia (specifically Japan and India -Khajuraho with its erotic sculptures! Will never forget that place), Egypt & Israel, and lots in the USA. All those US road trips really helped!

I realized how many places in nearby Mexico I have never seen; definitely need to widen my Mexico horizons. Next year's trip is hopefully Peru, so I can see a few more interesting sites.

Thirty-Nine. However, we have the opportunity to hit 15 on our next trip in about a month.

21-
Great Britain, Central Europe, Mexico, Guatemala, Bermuda, USA

43, including all the Netherlands sites except Willemstad Curacao. The rest were in Belgium, Germany, Luxembourg, Tanzania, UK, USA.
Adding a couple more US ones to the list in a couple of weeks.

41, but hope to add more on our trip to Italy and Greece this fall.

At least 52 for me. I'm a bit fuzzy on the ones in Asia as well as Portugal/Spain as I visited these places when I was younger.

-------------------------

So, 1.5 years later, I added

Vienna
Chartres
Wurzburg
Bamberg
Alhambra/Granada
Cordoba
Works of Gaudi
Segovia
Seville
Palau de la Musica Catalana

So now it's around 62 or so.

Over the past two years I've added 12 to my 109...total of 121...wife is at 101....long way to go to catch Thit Cho..fun to check 'em off. (four more next week on travels through Portugal).

106

Though seriously: some of these are downright hokey

Blenheim Palace? Wroclaw Centennial Hall? The Alberobello trulli?

Some pretty impressive monuments to local lobbying.

<Only 25, but much to my embarrassment none in my own country. We only live a couple hours away from Yosemite, and I was raised in Colorado but never got to Mesa Verde. But I promise to keep on traveling and trying to visit more!>

I've lost my embarrassment and increased my list. We went to Yosemite last year, visited Russia for the first time, as well as some other travels, so the list now is 39.
