At Time Out, we’re pretty big fans of all things Europe – it’s no secret that the continent boasts amazing beaches, restaurants and some of the world’s most stylish cities. It’s not just a great place to travel – it’s also a super happy place to live. According to a new report from the European Commission, almost nine out of ten people in Europe are satisfied with life in their city. While the report shows that life satisfaction across Europe has declined slightly since 2019, that’s still a pretty decent result. But where are people happiest?  Zurich was named Europe’s most liveable city in the 2023 report. Switzerland’s largest city beat out the 82 other cities that were surveyed across the EU, the European Free Trade Association, the UK, the Western Balkans and Türkiye, based on answers from over 71,000 residents.  Residents in Zurich were mostly happy with their jobs, public transport, healthcare services, air quality and financial situations – and the list goes on. One area where the city didn’t fare so well was (perhaps, unsurprisingly) on house prices, as only 11 percent described finding an affordable place to live ‘easy’. However, Zurich scored a staggering 97 percent satisfaction rate overall.  At the other end of the scale is Palermo, the Sicilian cultural and economic capital. Despite its obvious beauty, sunshine and downright heavenly food, only 62 percent of the residents surveyed are satisfied with living there.  According to the report, Palermo is considered a

There’s so much more to a great beach than just the sea and the sand – I mean, that’s a pretty good place to start, but local restaurants, bars, community vibes and general atmosphere are all important too. And now a new ranking of the 100 best beaches in the world has been released which factors in all that and more. BeachAtlas didn’t just assess the natural beauty of each beach, but also party and nightlife, sense of community, cultural significance and diversity. A panel of influencers and experts then voted for their favorite beaches. Claiming the top spot as the best beach in the world? That would be Bora Bora – shocker.  Yep, the French Polynesian island, which is perched in the South Pacific, is a renowned beach destination. It’s hardly a budget-friendly place for a getaway, but those aquamarine waters and blindingly white sands are undeniably giving paradise. In fact, the destination introduced a tourist cap back in 2022 to make sure it retains its natural beauty.  Some slightly more unusual beaches have also done well in the ranking. Black Sand Beach in Iceland, made up of pebbles formed from volcanic rock, claimed spot number six, and Namibia’s aptly and eerily named Skeleton Coast, which is littered with whale carcasses and shipwrecks, claimed number nine.  Five UK beaches also made the top 100 list, with the highest being Brighton Beach at spot number 25. Sure, there are a few old fairground rides and one too many seagulls, but stoney beaches deserve their time to

In media, a list is a powder keg waiting to explode the moment it’s published, especially if it’s called something like ‘the 100 greatest movies ever made’. If you’re passionate about something, you’re going to feel compelled to fiercely defend your favourites and shout down whatever you think is undeserving. If we’re being honest, inflaming public discussion is one of the reasons anyone decides to do a project like this. Debate gets you thinking, and, when reasoned and civil enough, perhaps even rethinking.   But don’t think of this as an attempt to shove our opinions down your throat. We consider this list more of a reference manual: a jumping off point for anyone looking to fill in the gaps of their movie knowledge – or, for more advanced cinephiles, a way to challenge their own preconceived notions. After all, we cover a lot of ground here: over 100 years, multiple countries, and just about every genre imaginable, from massive blockbusters to cult films, comedies to horror, thrillers to action flicks.  Written by Abbey Bender, Dave Calhoun, Phil de Semlyen, Bilge Ebiri, Ian Freer, Stephen Garrett, Tomris Laffly, Joshua Rothkopf, Anna Smith and Matthew Singer Recommended: 🔥 The best films of 2024 (so far)🏆 The 100 greatest horror films ever made📺 The 100 greatest ever TV shows you need to binge🤣 The best funny films of all-time

Solar eclipse day is finally here, meaning we’re just hours away from a narrow strip of Mexico, the US and Canada being plunged into complete darkness. But it’s not just North America that will witness the spectacle – a partial eclipse (where the moon will sort of block out the sun’s light) will also be experienced in some places across Europe.  The spectacle won’t be visible everywhere, but you might be lucky. Here’s all the info about how and when you could glimpse the phenomenon, based on where you are in Europe.   RECOMMENDED:Solar eclipse 2024: when and how to see the April 8 eclipse in the UKThese states are the best places to watch the 2024 solar eclipse Where in Europe can you see tonight’s solar eclipse?  The view of tonight’s eclipse will be pretty limited in Europe. Still, people in parts of the UK and Ireland will catch a glimpse of the partial eclipse between 7.50pm and 8pm GMT, specifically in Cork, Limerick, Galway and Dublin in Ireland, and Belfast, Manchester, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Cardiff, Leeds and Liverpool in the UK (if there are clear skies – fingers crossed).  While the rest of Europe won’t see anything, the eclipse will be streamed on NASA’s website, which you can tune into right here.  Another total eclipse is set to take place on August 12, 2026 over Greenland, Iceland and Spain. And almost exactly a year later on August 2, 2027, there’ll be one visible from northern Africa, Gibraltar and the Saudi peninsula. Unfortunately, the UK won’t be so lucky, as

Italy’s countryside is certainly postcard worthy, but even the prettiest of rolling hills won’t hit the spot for the adrenaline junkies among us. However, we’ve found something that might. Swaying 175 metres above a ravine in Umbria, the gorgeously scenic region slap-bang in the middle of Italy, is Ponte Tibetano, Europe’s highest pedestrian bridge.  The footbridge, which connects Sellano (a mediaeval village) and Montesanto (a hamlet on the other side of the Vigi River), is just under half a mile long and takes between 30 and 45 minutes to cross. It’s not for the faint-hearted – this bridge not only climbs an incline of 68 metres, but features a ‘discontinuous tread’, which means the connecting slats have gaps in between. Maybe don’t look down? There are, of course, plenty of safety measures in place. Those crossing the bridge must wear a harness and suitable footwear – no Birkenstocks, please – and be at least 120 cm (four feet) tall.  Eastern Umbria was devastated by a series of earthquakes back in 2016, and Mayor of Sellano Attilio Gubbiotti told Corriere della Sera that ‘[the aim is to] revitalise the area and stave off depopulation.’ Here’s hoping the bridge encourages a few more visitors. Intrigued? Petrified? Motivated by a great view and relieved at the news of a harness? Up to 90 people can cross per hour-long slot, and tickets are available to book on the bridge’s website.  Did you see that Time Out Market Porto will open its doors in May? Plus: This city has been

It’s still early days, but 2024 is already shaping up to be a gala year at the multiplex. Last year was a cracker – thanks to Oppenheimer, Barbie, Past Lives et al – but the next 12 months promise plenty, with Denis Villeneuve delivering a long-awaited Dune sequel, George Miller back at the bullet farm with Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, a resurrection of the Alien franchise, and a tonne of other big-screen fare to get excited about. So far, we’ve been spoiled rotten, with the achingly lovelorn All of Us Strangers, Yorgos Lanthimos’s riotous Poor Things, and Dev Patel’s eye-wateringly violent debut Monkey Man just a few of the good reasons to get to the cinema. So, the criterion for entry: some of these movies came out in the US at the back end of 2023 – Oscars qualification required it – but we’re basing this list on UK release dates to include the best worldwide releases from between January and December. We’ll be updating it with worthy new releases as we go, so keep this one bookmarked.

Last year we bid farewell to Succession, Barry and Top Boy, fell hard for Beef, Colin From Accounts and Blue Lights. The next 12 months should help us move on – the potential impact of 2023’s writers’ strike notwithstanding – as early hits like World War II epic Masters of the Air and Mr and Mrs Smith, Prime Video’s intoxicating mix of witty marital drama and zippy espionage caper, are already proving. Ahead are hotly-anticipated new runs of Bridgerton and Squid Game on Netflix, a third season of Industry, a sci-fi prequel in Dune: Prophecy, HBO’s barbed political satire The Regime, Park Chan-wook spy thriller The Sympathizer, and The Franchise, the latest from telly genius Armando Iannucci – among many other potentially binge-worthy offerings. But there’s only so many hours in the day and you can’t spend all of them on the sofa.

‘The idiot box’. ‘The boob tube’. ‘The opiate of the masses’. For decades, television was maligned as one of the lowest forms of entertainment available, a conduit for hypnotising slop was actively making the populace dumber. Was that perception justified? Maybe, at times. The fact that it was being beamed directly into your home, and you had little choice in what to watch, made it seem worse.   Now, 70 or so years after it became widely available, other mediums are having to play catch up. The best shows compete with movies for cultural positioning, while elite filmmakers make movies for the small screen. The premiere of The Sopranos in 1999 is credited as the big bang that changed TV’s reputation, and the advent of streaming has made it so viewers actually have more to watch than anyone could possibly consume in an entire lifetime.   That makes selecting the 100 greatest TV shows much more of a challenge than it would have been 20 years ago. For that reason, we elected to limit the field a bit, leaving off talk shows, docuseries, variety shows and sketch comedy, instead focusing on scripted, episodic dramas, comedies and miniseries. Even then, it proved to be an exhausting task – after all, television has been popular since after World War II. While this list is dominated by 21st century programs, there are hundreds of shows from the pre-Sopranos era that deserve credit for pushing TV forward into its current golden age. Here’s what we chose as the best of the best. Recomme
