How we compute it: distances are straight line (haversine formula) over the coordinates recorded on Wikidata, across the 2,000 attractions in our snapshot. It is not a walking or driving route: it is the pure geographic ruler, useful to gauge what can be combined in a single day. Sitelinks measure how many Wikimedia project editions have a page about the place. The World Heritage mark comes from designation P1435 and can point to the inscribed site or to one of its components.
