## [Berlin](http://www.travelandleisure.com/articles/worlds-greatest-dream-trips/2)

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)

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)

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)

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)


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.
