TIME Magazine has revealed 100 destinations for their first annual list of the World's Greatest Places. Included in the lineup are a range of museums, parks, hotels, and restaurants that they believe are breaking new ground and offering truly extraordinary experiences. 

Among the selected are a host of architectural gems designed by some of the profession's most notable stars. One of the entries on the list is Herzog and de Meuron's Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg, praised by the magazine for its show-stealing acoustics. Another is one of Los Angeles's hottest new restaurants, Vespertine. Designed by Eric Owen Moss, the magazine noted not only the restaurant's unusual dining experience, but also its unique architecture, describing the space as a "cross between a spaceship and a waffle."

Other highlights include MVRDV's viral Tianjin Binhai Public Library, Seoul's Skygarden (also designed by MVRDV), Heatherwick's converted grain silo, and Jean Nouvel's Louvre Abu Dhabi, which features an enormous lattice dome weighing more that 7,500 tons. 

The range of selected destinations is diverse, with projects spanning six continents and 48 countries and spotlighting everything from fancy hotels—like Zaha Hadid Architects' recently opened Morpheus Hotel in Macau—to the world's first ever water park designed for people with disabilities.
