The 51 most beautiful places in the world

The 51 most beautiful places in the world

A red sandstone amphitheatre. An ancient woodland on the English coast. A teeny tiny island with a black sand beach. Beauty comes in all shapes and sizes – luckily, the world isn’t held to the same rigid beauty standards as humans are – and we’ve curated this list to celebrate that.  It goes without saying that Time Out’s ranking of the world’s most beautiful places is entirely subjective and by no means exhaustive, but what we can guarantee is real-life experience. Every single beach, lake, city and valley on this list has been visited and vetted by our globetrotting network of travel writers. In short, they’re all well worth making the journey to see for yourself (no social media fakery here).We update this list regularly, ensuring we’re including the big-hitters while considering the impact of overtourism and spotlighting lesser-known beauty spots. So here it is: Time Out’s guide to the most beautiful places on planet Earth. Happy travels!Updated March 2026: There are seven new additions to the list this year, including a terracotta-coloured Old Town in Italy, an opulent Renaissance-style library in New York and a compact mountain range in northern Spain.Grace Beard is Time Out’s travel editor, based in London. At Time Out, all of our travel guides are written by local writers who know their cities inside out. For more about how we curate, see our editorial guidelines.

The 39 coolest neighbourhoods in the world in 2025

The 39 coolest neighbourhoods in the world in 2025

For the past eight years, we’ve made it our mission to scope out the coolest pockets of the world’s greatest cities in order to create our definitive annual ranking. The places where stuff like nightlife, art, culture, and affordable food and drink can be found on every corner and down every backstreet. Where diversity is championed and independent businesses thrive, from old-school boltholes to the newest avant-garde art space. Put simply, the world’s coolest neighbourhoods are places that represent the soul of our cities, while maintaining their own unique local character that draws people in to live, work and play. So, what are the neighbourhoods that fit the bill this year? To find out, we asked our network of writers and editors across a breadth of cities to nominate the vibiest district in their hometown right now. We then ranked every neighbourhood against criteria including culture, community, liveability, nightlife, food and drink, street life and that hard-to-define sense of ‘nowness’.  On our list this year, you’ll find everything from homely, village-like enclaves with tight-knit communities to revitalised city-centre hubs and formerly dormant, industrial areas transformed into creative districts. Many are underrated spots that sit in the shadow of their commercialised counterparts; others have become unexpected culinary hotspots or magnets for the city’s artists, writers and activists. What they all have in common is a DIY spirit – and an unshakeable proclivity f

The 50 best cities in the world in 2025

This list is from 2025. Our latest ranking for 2026 is live here. People who don’t live in cities will tell you they’re busy, lonely and expensive places. But there’s a reason so many people choose to live in them: with world-class art and culture, unbeatable food and nightlife, buzzing neighbourhoods and a dizzying amount of stuff to do and see, there’s simply no better place to be.  Every year, we take the pulse of city living by quizzing thousands of locals across the planet about life in their hometowns. This year, more than 18,500 city-dwellers shared their insights on everything from food, nightlife and culture to affordability, happiness and the overall city vibe. When urban living can sometimes feel isolating and costly, this year we wanted to get a sense of what, exactly, makes a city feel like home. Sure, the nightlife is great, but is the city safe and walkable? Is good quality food and art available at a reasonable price? Is it easy to make friends, find love, and access nature?  Livability was a key factor in our ranking this year. But a great city to live in is, naturally, a great city to visit. So, along with the thousands of responses from locals around the world, we asked Time Out’s global network of city experts to vote on the places they think are particularly exciting right now. After crunching all that data, here we are: Time Out’s definitive ranking of the world’s best cities in 2025. Read on to see how your hometown fared

The 100 greatest cinemas in the world right now

There’s never been a better – or more important – time to celebrate cinemas. They’re the places we go to dream, focal points of our communities, and an all-round great escape. Yet movie theatres are faced with challenges that even lovelty popcorn holders can’t help with. But they’ve survived the advent of TV, Hollywood strikes, a couple of pandemics, and so far, they’re holding firm against streaming and surging costs – and there’s reasons for optimism, too: younger, Letterboxd-savvy audiences are embracing the big-screen experience like never before, and filmmakers like Ryan Coogler, Christopher Nolan and ChloĂ© Zhao are championing it at every opportunity. Just try booking an IMAX ticket for The Odyssey. With that in mind, Time Out’s local experts have collaborated on a celebration of the best cinemas from across the globe. From cult Tokyo cinemas and grand Parisian film temples to beloved Sydney picturehouses and LA film dream palaces, from a Berlin kino with its own nuclear bunker to a Canadian cinema with only 12 seats, we’ve pointed the spotlight on a hundred magnificent movie palaces that all movie lovers should know about – and visit.  NB We’ve gone almost entirely with single-use cinemas rather than venues that double up as theatres or gig venues.  Greatest cinemas at a glance: 🍿 The greatest cinema in the world: TCL Chinese Theatre, LA 🌔 The world’s best outdoor cinema: Cine Paris, Athens đŸ“œïž The coolest cult cinema in the world: The New Beverly, LA Jump to list

Montreal sounds off on Royalmount’s dog ban: best Instagram reactions

Press paws on the puppies: as of March 25, 2026, Royalmount has prohibited dogs from entering the mall. Following ongoing problems with owners not cleaning up after their pets, the mall is allowing only certified service animals.  Read: The best malls in Montreal for shopping sprees The announcement was made via a post on Royalmount’s Instagram stating: “At Royalmount, we have always strived to create a welcoming environment for everyone, including dogs, who are an important part of many families. In recent months, we have seen an increase in hygiene-related incidents, including frequent situations where animal waste was not properly cleaned up. These occurrences have created conditions that are extremely difficult for our teams to manage and has compromised our ability to maintain the highest standards of cleanliness, safety, and overall experience throughout the space. Despite the ongoing efforts of our maintenance teams, these situations have a direct impact on the cleanliness of the premises and, more importantly, on the hygiene standards we must uphold to ensure the safety and well-being of everyone, especially young children and families. In light of this, we have had to make the difficult decision to no longer allow dogs at Royalmount, in order to preserve a clean, safe, and enjoyable environment for all. We understand that this news may be disappointing, and we are truly sorry. Thank you for your understanding.” Once a pet-friendly destination, Montrealears had some

U.S. travel by Canadians collapses to historic low not seen since 1972

It’s official: Canadian travel patterns have shifted dramatically as U.S. trips drop and overseas travel surges. According to a Statistics Canada report published in March, 2026, Canadian travel abroad shows a sharp contrast between U.S. and overseas destinations.  Read: Montreal is getting a new airport this summer with a 900-seat waiting lounge Starting in early 2025, Canadian travel patterns shifted amid political tensions with the U.S. By early 2026, trips by Canadians to the United States had declined for over a year, reflecting a consistent drop in both automobile and air travel. Meanwhile, visits to Canada by U.S. residents remained steady, showing notable growth compared with previous years. Is Canadian travel to the U.S. declining? On the heels of the news that numerous routes to the U.S. have been suspended by several airlines, the report states that trips to the United States fell 22%, continuing a 13-month streak of year-over-year decreases.  Read more: Air Canada latest airline to cancel U.S. flights Auto travel to the U.S. saw the steepest drop at 26.3%, with 67.5% of these being same-day excursions.  Air travel from the U.S. also declined 12.8%, totaling 753,400 trips. In contrast, return trips from overseas countries increased 10.6% to 1.5 million—the first time Canadian-resident trips from abroad surpassed U.S. auto arrivals (1.3 million) since records began in 1972, excluding the pandemic period.  This surge highlights a renewed appetite among Canadians for

More winter for Montreal: snow, ice and rain set to hit in multi-day storm

Snow, rain, sleet, freezing rain—winter is about to unleash on Montreal (again) between now and Friday. A special weather statement issued by Environment Canada is calling for periods of freezing rain overnight tonight and early Thursday morning. Snow is also in the forecast late Wednesday evening, followed by a short period of freezing rain on Thursday morning—with up to 2 mm of freezing rain possible. Check out: 16 must-attend events in MontrĂ©al this spring 2026 Photograph: Shutterstock / LisaCarter According to a report by MeteoMedia, the flakes on Wednesday will turn to sleet, then rain—with freezing rain across Greater Montreal before dawn. By Thursday morning, the city could wake under a thin glaze of ice with temperatures expected to rise above freezing by mid-morning. As the mercury climbs, precipitation will shift to rain in Montreal, with Southern Quebec seeing between 10-20 mm of rain. What month is spring in Montreal? Montreal in spring (late March to May) is an unpredictable season that can feature lingering snow, blooming flowers and trees, and / or a messy mix of both. Unpredictable weather? It's time for indoor fun. Whether you’re taking the REM directly into the Montreal Eaton Centre, or exploring the Underground City, Downtown Montreal is a playground for all ages—even when it’s messy outside.  Visit Time Out Market MontrĂ©al on Saturdays for kid-friendly activities and live music on Sundays.
