It depends what you define as a National Treasure...
Sometimes I use World Heritage Listing as a focus for vacations. In Japan (which is chock-o-block with shrines, temples, and gardens), I visited eleven World Heritage Sites in Kyoto. It was like my own Amazing Race...using trains, subways, and buses to get from site to site.
In the USA, we have National Historic Landmark designation...which includes Independence Hall/Old Pennsylvania State House and The Alamo...as examples. I've been to lots ond lots of those sites. We also have National Parks (such as Great Smokey Mountains and Yellowstone). Also a great measure of "National Treasure-worthiness", and I've visited many.
I enjoy getting out and about to visit different places. Next month I will visit the Alamo and other missions in Texas as well as Taliesin in Wisconsin. I'm a blatant travel-whore.
