Dream destinations for students

We asked Belgian students themselves: which places are on your bucket list? The winners are in. New York and Tokyo are neck and neck. Almost half of you want to walk through Times Square or across Shibuya Crossing one day. Take New York away and Tokyo is by far your first choice. Right behind the top two come Rio de Janeiro, Sydney and Cape Town: sun, beaches and a good dose of adventure.

Prefer somewhere closer to home? Then Athens, London, Rome and Budapest top your list. Your bucket list goes beyond the skyline too. For the next two years you're dreaming of the Norwegian fjords (number 1!), the Grand Canyon, the Great Barrier Reef, Machu Picchu and the Acropolis.

Based on the Innerdreams surveys of Belgian students, 2025–2026.
