On the weekend of 13 and 14 June 2026, several UNESCO World Heritage sites across Switzerland will open their doors with special programs, inviting visitors to celebrate the country’s natural and cultural treasures.

The motto ‘You only want to protect what you know’ aptly summarises the purpose of the World Heritage Days. Special programs and open doors create the opportunity for people to experience and understand their World Heritage sites at first hand. This not only raises awareness of cultural heritage, but also promotes pride and identification with one’s own region.
