Plenty of people dream of travel to other planets. But "Star Wars" fans can actually visit locations where many of the films' most famous scenes were shot. And the latest movie, "Star Wars: The Last Jedi," only adds to the list. Some places aren't even as remote as one might expect. From dinner at Luke Skywalker's childhood home to a romantic balcony where romance blossomed, here are some of the destinations where "Star Wars" comes to life: Puzzlewood, Gloucestershire, England Meandering paths. Mossy rocks. Twisted trees and gulleys. No wonder Puzzlewood, which sits in the Forest of Dean not too far from Wales, is such a draw. And not just for "Star Wars." You've also seen it in "Merlin," "Doctor Who" and other TV and film productions. But it's "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" that's really put Puzzlewood on the travel map.

We love to write about food. We love to celebrate the good stuff and lambaste the bad. This is our take on some of the best food cultures and destinations, but of course it's subjective. It's time to find out once and for all, which cuisine is king as you plan where you'll travel next. 1. United States This may be because most of the popular foods in the USA originate in some other country. The pizza slice is Italian. Fries are Belgium or Dutch. Hamburgers and frankfurters? Likely German. But in the kitchens of the United States, they have been improved and added to, to become global icons for food lovers everywhere. Don't neglect the homegrown American dishes either. There's the traditional stuff such as clam chowder, key lime pie and Cobb salad, and most importantly the locavore movement of modern American food started by Alice Waters. This promotion of eco-awareness in food culture is carried on today by Michelle Obama. Yum Cheeseburger -- a

Deep in the Aragon river valley, close to the border with France, lies the abandoned ruin of Canfranc International Station in Spain. Once one of Europe's largest rail hubs, opulent Canfranc opened in style in 1928, with an inauguration ceremony attended by the king of Spain and the President of the French Republic. During World War II, Canfranc was a hive of activity and intrigue, witnessing arrests, espionage and gold trafficking, but by 1970, the station had closed its doors. Today it's a sleepy destination, popular with photographers thanks to its atmospheric exterior and striking setting beneath the snow-capped Pyrenees. "Even though it is almost in ruins, it brings a lot of visitors," Mayor of Canfranc Fernando Sánchez Morales tells CNN Travel. Now, Sánchez Morales confirms, plans are afoot to breathe new life into the station -- thanks to a huge regeneration program. "We are working on a project that will change Canfranc," says Sánc

On the southwest tip of the rugged isle of Jersey -- one of the two Channel Islands dotted between England and France -- lies Radio Tower. Built by order of the Nazi forces who occupied Jersey during the Second World War, this imposing concrete tower has been sensitively reimagined as a vacation rental. "It's a way of recognizing that part of history and also now making use of it in a more positive light," Joanna Hepworth, heritage venues manager at Jersey Heritage, tells CNN Travel. Those who visit can take in sweeping 360-degree views of the island's coastline and the striking white Corbère lighthouse on the horizon. "One of the number one reasons for staying there, I suppose, is having one of the best views, in the British Isles almost, up there -- it's incredible," adds Hepworth. Difficult history The Channel Islands aren't technically part of the United Kingdom, they're crown dependencies. This means they're not separa

From frolicking on the beaches of the Caribbean coast and taking pictures in colorful Cartagena, to partying in Medellín and enjoying the street art of La Candelaria in Bogotá, the reputation of Colombia as a legitimately varied and exciting destination is assured. However, in and amongst the vast cities with their impressive cable car systems and colonial buildings are nestled a network of tiny Colombian towns, which only add to the charm of the country. Here are a few you should immediately add to your travel itinerary: Villa de Leyva, Boyacá Founded in the 16th century, quaint Villa de Leyva is now popular among rolos (Bogotá natives) as a weekend destination. Excellently preserved, Spanish colonial buildings ring the expansive cobblestoned square -- the largest in Colombia -- their whitewashed walls contrasting neatly with the rusty red-tiled roofs. If you're really looking to escape the rat race, go during the week. Monguí, Boyacá Home to astounding paramo

Budapest, the capital of Hungary, usually comes as a sweet surprise to travelers, who don't quite know what to expect before visiting this city of 1.7 million. With the wide Danube winding through its center, one of Europe's most stunning skylines and plenty of fabulous architecture lining the Buda and Pest sides of the river, Budapest can justly claim to be one of Europe's prettiest urban destinations. These are some of the best attractions you'll find in Budapest when you travel here: The Danube and its banks The Danube runs through the center of Budapest, with flat Pest on the east and hilly Buda on the west. The best way to begin exploring the city is by taking a walk along its banks, where you can take in some of Budapest's most important sights.
