Romantic getaways
A vibrant street life, stunning visuals, food and drink that sweeten your lips. The world's most romantic places seem to share these traits. But there is something more: a sense of style and spirit, a pace that's almost musical. Here's a list of ethereal places -- some expected, some not -- that can easily capture your heart.<br/><br/>Berlin: Put Berlin next to Paris and you have both sides of the coin: romance, which occasionally appeals, and eros, which never fails. "Berlin is sexy," said the German capital's openly gay Mayor Klaus Wowereit, and it's been that way since the iniquitous Weimar Republic of Marlene Dietrich and cabaret, when only verboten was a naughty word. Recent influxes of German hipsters and clued-in foreigners are (as the song says) "Falling in Love Again (Can't Help It)" with Berlin's outré art scene, drinking in all-night bars where mind-numbing absinthe is the poison of choice, and dressing in provocative Weimar styles for Bohème Sauvage, an on-going series of nightclub parties with dancing to hot jazz, backroom poker and floor shows featuring scantily clad performers of undetermined sex. <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/jPkxS4uT4VvO1Lo7RdNrMDAU2Q8/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/jPkxS4uT4VvO1Lo7RdNrMDAU2Q8/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/jPkxS4uT4VvO1Lo7RdNrMDAU2Q8/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/jPkxS4uT4VvO1Lo7RdNrMDAU2Q8/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/latimes/travel/~4/gD70SeTkg3I" height="1" width="1"/>
Hollywood finds romance in travel
On a train 'North by Northwest' and others, on a bus in 'It Happened One Night,' in Italy in 'Roman Holiday,' in Bali in 'Eat, Pray, Love' &#8212; love is all around.<br/><br/>Love is always lovelier some place other than home.

12 places to visit in 2012
From historical celebrations to Oregon wines to a diamond jubilee in Britain to Warhol in Arkansas, here are a dozen places to explore and enjoy.<br/><br/>New Mexico: This year, New Mexicans mark 100 years of statehood. But much of the state's appeal stems from its human history that goes back much further. (In 2010, Santa Fe celebrated 400 years of cityhood.) Explore here: the adobe architecture and art galleries of Santa Fe; the vintage signage along old Route 66; the lingering hippie vibe of Truth or Consequences. Don't forget the Lightning Field, an art installation outside Quemado where (for $150 to $250 a person) you spend a summer night in a wood cabin and wait to see if lightning will strike one of the 400 tall steel poles outside your door. Even if there's no strike, the sky puts on shows at sunset and sunrise that will leave you in awe. <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/TKG1ZPX1ejRk_XExaQDmltHXSp4/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/TKG1ZPX1ejRk_XExaQDmltHXSp4/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/TKG1ZPX1ejRk_XExaQDmltHXSp4/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/TKG1ZPX1ejRk_XExaQDmltHXSp4/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/latimes/travel/~4/Ld3egPKkyIs" height="1" width="1"/>
