Panama Tops the List
Panama is rapidly becoming known for more than its canal. It's been a dozen years since the U.S. relinquished its interests in the shipping channel, but with a new Trump Ocean Club and more hotels and a natural history museum set to open, interest in visiting this Central American nation is on the rise. Get to know Panama with this introductory guide.
| Helsinki is the World Design Capital for 2012
Helsinki's 25-street Design District helped propel the Finnish city to the number two spot on the Times' list. If you've never seen Finland's chic capital, enjoy a photo tour, and then plan a trip.
| Myanmar is Back
Democratic reforms have led to a slow easing of sanctions against the Asian "hermit kingdom" many know as Burma. And that means travelers are slowly making their way back to the "cultural treasures, world-class boutique hotels and deserted beaches" that landed Myanmar at number three. If you're intrigued, learn about a tour company that is taking travelers to this newly inviting destination.

Studio Tour featuring a behind-the-scenes look at the Harry Potter films. London will captivate travelers throughout 2012, and that earned it the list's fourth spot.
