We all try our best to deliver perfect work but I find having two native languages (German and English) gives me a little advantage because I am sure to understand the source perfectly.

Source (German)	Target (English)
Eine Sehenswürdigkeit ist ein bedeutsames Naturdenkmal, Kulturdenkmal oder etwas anderweitig Attraktives, Spektakuläres beziehungsweise Prominentes, das häufig in touristische Programme einbezogen wird.	Important natural monuments, cultural monuments, or other attractive, spectacular or prominent sights that are included in activities for tourists tend to be described as tourist attractions.
Häufig handelt es sich auch um Objekte, die der Reisende durch die Medien (Zeitschriften, Fernsehen, Reiseromane etc.) bereits kennt und die er eigenständig erleben will.	These are also frequently sights that travellers may have learnt of through the media (magazines, television, travel fiction etc.) and would now like to experience first hand.
Manche Sehenswürdigkeiten haben zugleich Wahrzeichencharakter für ein Land, eine Region oder eine Stadt.	Some attractions are even considered landmarks of a country, region or city.
Veranstalter, insbesondere alternativer Städtereisen kritisieren den Begriff.	The term is often seen critically by organisers, particularly those of more alternative city tours.
Denn er legt nahe, dass es einige wenige spektakuläre, prominente „des Sehens würdige“ Stätten gibt – während die des Alltags in der Regel nicht dazugehörten.	It seems to suggest there are only few spectacular and prominent sights that "tourists would be attracted" to while the everyday sights are neglected.
(Sie seien für das Verstehen mindestens ebenso bedeutsam.)	(Although they are just as important when it comes to understanding the culture.)
Aus tourismuskritischer Perspektive wird hervorgehoben, dass Objekte nicht per se sehenswert sind, sondern dass Sehenswürdigkeiten durch Kulturinstanzen zu solchen ernannt werden.	Those critical of tourism emphasise that objects are not worth being seen merely for their own sake but that they become true attractions when seen in a cultural context.
Auch die Zielgruppe bestimmt, ob etwas für sie sehenswürdig ist.	In addition, whether an attraction is worth seeing differs according to the target group.
Typische Sehenswürdigkeiten sind historische Gebäude und Bauwerke, auch besondere Zeugnisse der Zeitgeschichte (z. B. Berliner Mauer).	Typical tourist attractions are historic buildings and other structures as well as sites of historical importance (e. g. the Berlin Wall).
Naturdenkmäler können Seen, Vegetationszonen oder auch Berge sein.	Natural monuments may be lakes, vegetation zones or even mountains.
