Where in the World Would You Travel If You Could? At the beginning of each year, the Times Travel section suggests the best places on the globe to visit. The 2014 edition includes photographs and short descriptions of 52 places. If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go?

Ecuador Ecuador is famed as the home of the Galápagos, the beloved islands off the coast that feature mind-boggling wildlife - but the mainland is no slouch either. One of the most biodiverse countries in the world, Ecuador has over 1,600 species of birds, 4,000 kinds of orchids, one of the largest condor shelters on the planet - and one-fifth of the country (including the Galápagos) is protected. Nashville, Tenn. Country music lovers have long made the pilgrimage to Nashville, but now the city has fast gained cachet among rock fans and foodies. The city's vibrant scene is home to the Black Keys, Kings of Leon, Jeff the Brotherhood and Diarrhea Planet, who all play in town occasionally. And a youthquake is transforming scruffy neighborhoods like 12South and East Nashville into hipster hubs. Dubai Five years ago, one of the planet's most ambitious cities appeared to be dying. Crushed with debt, Dubai found its megaprojects and skyscrapers scuttled or scrapped. The city went from juggernaut to joke. But now, it's back. Economically surging, Dubai has won its bid to host World Expo 2020 and has unveiled its Tourism Vision, also for 2020, a plan to attract 20 million tourists - double the current crowd.
