There’s nothing wrong with visiting the same place twice. You can’t possibly see all of New Zealand in one two-week trip, for example, and we’re strong proponents of the annual Hawaiian jaunt or long weekend in Paris.

The destinations on the following pages finished in the top eight of Virtuoso’s online Travel Dreams Tournament, a social media competition in which thousands of votes were cast to determine the ultimate vacation destination. With help from Virtuoso travel advisors, we’ve gathered some ideas for your first time and your next time in each place.

We won’t stop you from planning a third, fourth, or fifth visit, either. 🙂
