That’s what _Travel + Leisure_ editors asked travelers on the streets of New York City, as well as their followers on Twitter and Facebook. Their answers spanned the globe—from the beaches of Brazil to a South African safari to the Canadian Rockies.

[**Berlin**](http://www.travelandleisure.com/articles/worlds-greatest-dream-trips/2?xid=PS%5Ftime)

“I would visit the Berlin Wall and try new foodie hot spots.” —_Victor Au Yeung, 28, Doctor_

The former West is buzzy thanks to [Bikini Berlin](http://www.bikiniberlin.de/), a new cool-kid shopping center full of local high-design brands such as Gestalten. Next door, there’s the whimsical [25 Hours Hotel Bikini Berlin](http://www.25hours-hotels.com/), whose rooftop restaurant Neni and Monkey Bar lounge are the city’s hardest-to-get reservations. November 9 marks the 25th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. See it via a new food-focused tour from [Berlinagenten](http://www.berlinagenten.com/), which includes meals at three restaurants along or near the wall.

[**St. Lucia**](http://www.travelandleisure.com/articles/worlds-greatest-dream-trips/3?xid=PS%5Ftime)

“My husband and I would relax by our in-room pool with a view of the Piton mountains, and then enjoy a couples massage.” —_Jen Christiansen, via Facebook_

At the Piton-facing [Jade Mountain](http://www.jademountain.com/), all but five of the 29 open-air suites come with private infinity pools. (You’ll have to tear yourself away to make it to the beach.) As for that massage: we suggest the neighboring [Sugar Beach](http://www.viceroyhotelsandresorts.com/), a Viceroy Resort, where the Rainforest Spa has seven tree-house treatment rooms.

[**Argentina + Chile**](http://www.travelandleisure.com/articles/worlds-greatest-dream-trips/4?xid=PS%5Ftime)

“I could really get into a #SouthAmerican #food tour.” —[_@IMJPRO_](http://www.twitter.com/IMJPRO)

We’ve narrowed it down to two culinary capitals. Here’s how to tackle them, one meal at a time.

**Buenos Aires:** In Monserrat, Gonzalo Aramburu puts a “Nueva Cocina” spin on traditional dishes such as gnocchi soufflé and suckling pig at [Aramburu Bis](http://www.aramburubis.com.ar/), while[Sucre Restaurant Bar & Grill](http://www.sucrerestaurant.com.ar/) reflects chef Fernando Trocca’s global sensibility (think risotto with Black Angus osso buco).


**Santiago, Chile:** [Boragó](http://www.borago.cl/) is the top table in a city that’s just beginning to celebrate its culinary roots. Chef Rodolfo Guzman turns native ingredients—shellfish, mushrooms, herbs, and highland flowers—into edible bonsai. [99](http://www.99restaurante.com/) is young, radical, and market-fresh. Don’t miss the wild-boar_caldo_ if it pops up on the three-course lunch menu.

[**Petra, Jordan**](http://www.travelandleisure.com/articles/worlds-greatest-dream-trips/5?xid=PS%5Ftime)

“Ever since seeing Indiana Jones, I’ve wanted to visit the historic sites of Petra.” —_@_[_sarahjenksdaly_](http://www.twitter.com/sarahjenksdaly)

You should follow Indy’s footsteps through the slot canyon, or _siq_, that leads to the Treasury building, hewn by hand from a sandstone cliff. But there are many worthwhile sites, including cave dwellings and a massive colonnaded Monastery that sits atop the highest peak (it’s a steep hike, so hire a horse or donkey). Our tips: start early to avoid the afternoon heat; use a guide, who can explain Petra’s architecture and mysterious history (we love [Mahmoud Ahmed](mailto:mat65petra@yahoo.com)); and stay at the [Mövenpick Resort Petra](http://www.moevenpickhotels.com/), with a pool and prime location just outside the entrance.


[**Paris**](http://www.travelandleisure.com/articles/worlds-greatest-dream-trips/6?xid=PS%5Ftime)

“It’s the ideal city for romance. I’d love to visit museums and eat amazing food.” —_Angela Harry, 47, Patient-Care Technician_

The city’s smaller museums are quieter, and much more romantic. A short walk from the Jardin du Luxembourg, [Musée Maillol](http://www.museemaillol.com/) is a love letter to the artist Aristide Maillol founded by his muse, Dina Vierny; you’ll also see works by Henri Matisse and Paul Gauguin. The gardens of the [Musée Rodin](http://www.musee-rodin.fr/)are intimate and peaceful—and right next door to [Alain Passard’s L’Arpège](http://www.alain-passard.com/), which offers a poetic and refined twist on farm-to-table eating. And the [Jacquemart-André Museum](http://musee-jacquemart-andre.com/en/home)—set in a 19th-century mansion—has works by everyone from Botticelli to Boucher.
