Lord of the Rings

Thanks to New Zealand's Hobbiton Movie Set Tours [1], you can enjoy second breakfast at the Green Dragon and peek inside Bilbo's home in the Shire.

Hello Kitty

There are almost too many incredible Hello Kitty sights to see during a proper bucket list voyage [2], but suffice it to say that fans should pay a visit to Puroland [3] in Tokyo.

Firefly

Fans of the short-lived sci-fi series will remember seeing the Japanese Garden in Van Nuys, CA, during the episode "Trash" — not only will visitors enjoy gorgeous views of the meticulously manicured gardens, but they can also tour the actual administration building [4] where the Firefly episode was filmed.

Star Wars

If you need Star Wars vacation ideas [5], look no further than this Wookiee-inspired treehouse [6] in Costa Rica.

While it's not the ship that made the Kessel run in less than 12 parsecs, the Disney Dream cruise ship definitely looks like Han Solo's Millennium Falcon [7] — book your voyage for a Force-filled vacay.

Chow down in Rebel (or Alliance, we don't judge) style at Disney World's new Star Wars eatery [8]. And while you're in Orlando, don't forget to check one of the following Harry Potter [9] destinations off your list!

Harry Potter

With locations in Japan and Florida — and another one coming soon [10] to Los Angeles! — the Wizarding World of Harry Potter [11] is a must-visit for hardcore fans.

The Jacobite steam train (aka the Hogwarts Express) is one of many magical experiences on the ultimate Harry Potter travel bucket list [12], but its views of the Scottish countryside set it apart from the rest.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer

Buffy fans might not know that Angel's mansion actually exists, but the Ennis House [13] in Los Feliz, CA, is 100 percent real. Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, the architectural marvel will also please design-lovers.

Game of Thrones

Despite its tumultuous leadership, King's Landing has a picturesque location within the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros . . . and the beautiful city of Dubrovnik, Croatia, serves as its backdrop on the Game of Thrones TV series. When visiting, be sure to tour Minceta Fortress [14], which served as the setting for the House of the Undying in season two.

Who knew that the land of Dorne looked so much like southern Europe? The Martell family's activities take place at the Real Alcázar de Sevilla [15] in Seville, Spain, during Game of Thrones season five, but you can tour the space without fear of Oberyn's Sand Vipers while vacationing.

Ballymoney, Ireland's Dark Hedges [16] surround one of the most famous roads in the UK, but you might recognize the collection of hedges for its appearance as part of the King's Road on GOT.

Did you know that the Eyrie exists in real life [17]? The Meteora monasteries in Greece served as the setting for the impressive Sky Castle in Game of Thrones and offer panoramic views of the Greek countryside for visitors willing to make the intimidating climb to the top.

Batman

You don't need to visit Gotham to feel like the Dark Knight — simply head to Six Flags Fiesta Texas [18] and take a whirl on Batman: The Ride.

This Taiwanese hotel [19] offers the full Batcave experience to comic-loving customers, so have Alfred book a themed suite for your upcoming vacation.

Doctor Who

The Cardiff Bay is a major location throughout Doctor Who and Torchwood, making an appearance in many episodes of each. Stroll by the Cardiff Bay water feature now known as Torchwood Tower (pictured here), then visit Ianto's Shrine [20] to pay respects.

In "The Shakespeare Code" episode, the Tenth Doctor helps William Shakespeare face the Carrionites inside the historic Globe Theatre [21] — English buffs and sci-fi fanatics alike will love this attraction!
