‘Overtourism’. It’s more than a buzzword – in the world’s most popular destinations, it’s a problem that affects almost every aspect of local life, from the environment to the cost of renting, transport and eating out. And when a place is overwhelmed by people, it’s not only locals’ quality of life that suffers; the quality of your trip does, too. But it’s not all bad. Destinations are coming up with ways to redistribute tourism from densely crowded hotspots to lesser-visited regions. Travellers are seeking cooler climes and embracing slow travel, allowing space to discover somewhere new. And they’re still riding the ‘destination dupes’ trend, where overrun holiday destinations are swapped out for less crowded, less expensive, but just-as-good alternatives. On our newly updated list of the world’s most underrated travel destinations, you won’t find your Bangkoks or your Balis, your Amalfis or your Amsterdams. What you will find is the hidden side of Yosemite, the French Riviera’s overlooked twin, a place where penguins outnumber people, and plenty more travel inspo where that came from.Why trust us? Because we’ve been to them all. Every spot on this list was picked by one of our expert editors and globetrotting travel writers, recommended because they offer great (or quiet) alternatives to the classics – and in many cases, because they’re places that actually want tourism. In other words, travelling to any of these 33 criminally overlooked destinations is a win-win situation.

This list is from 2025. Check out the latest ranking here. In January, we published our annual ranking of the world’s best cities. To create the list, we quizzed city-dwellers on everything from happiness and nightlife to walkability – and while all these factors are important in making a city great, let’s face it: a city is nothing without its food. From street eats to fine dining, family-run taverns to cutting-edge kitchens, eating and drinking is the backbone of local culture in our cities and the reason many of us choose to travel.  So, in order to figure out the great culinary metropolises of today, we surveyed thousands of people around the world about food in their city. We asked locals to rate their city’s food scene across 18 different criteria, including quality, affordability and attributes from ‘family-friendly’ to ‘experimental’.  Each city was ranked according to quality and affordability ratings, alongside a score from a panel of Time Out food experts – editors, food critics and Time Out Market chefs – who were asked to share their insights into the most exciting cities for food right now. To create the final ranking, we included only the highest-scoring city for each country to ensure the list reflects culinary cities globally. We then asked our global network of food writers to tell us exactly what makes their city such an exciting place to eat right now. The result? A very tasty list indeed. In each of these 20 cities, you’ll find the best of the old-school

Montreal’s REM airport line has hit a major milestone as automated train testing begins. The REM airport branch is entering a major new testing phase, bringing Montréal-Trudeau International Airport one step closer to being connected to Montreal’s light-rail network.

The testing is designed to verify every part of the new infrastructure, from the trains and platform screen doors to communications and other essential systems.

Les meilleures villes du monde ne sont pas seulement des destinations réputées pour leur art avant-gardiste, leurs restaurants de calibre mondial, leur vie nocturne animée et leurs magnifiques espaces verts. Ce sont aussi des endroits où il fait bon vivre. Mais les critères qui définissent une ville agréable à vivre peuvent varier considérablement d’une génération à l’autre. Chaque année, le classement de Time Out des meilleures villes au monde s’appuie sur un vaste sondage mené auprès de citadins de partout sur la planète. L’objectif : déterminer quelles villes se démarquent par leur culture, leur qualité de vie, leur accessibilité et tout ce qui les rend agréables au quotidien. A lire : Pourquoi ce lieu du centre-ville de Montréal est parfait pour se retrouver Certains critères font toutefois presque l’unanimité, comme un réseau de transport en commun efficace, de beaux paysages et une foule de choses à faire.

The sun, moon, and Earth will be aligned today, bringing total and partial solar eclipses to the Northern Hemisphere. And that's not all. The celestial action continues with a Perseid meteor shower peaking later tonight, creating a second opportunity to look up. Will the eclipse be visible in Canada? A partial solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth, but the three bodies are not perfectly aligned. As a result, only part of the Sun is covered, giving it a distinctive crescent shape. The 2026 partial solar eclipse will be visible from parts of northern and western Canada, with Newfoundland and Labrador expected to have some of the best views in the country. According to a report by Global News, the Canadian Space Agency has indicated that Newfoundland and Labrador will not experience a total eclipse, but residents there will see the greatest portion of the Sun covered among Canadian locations.

Les Montréalais auront droit à un spectaculaire rendez-vous avec le ciel cet été. Le mercredi 12 août 2026, une éclipse solaire totale traversera certaines régions du monde, tandis que le Québec et une grande partie du Canada pourront observer une éclipse solaire partielle. Et ce n’est pas le seul phénomène astronomique à surveiller : l’événement coïncidera avec le pic de la pluie de météores des Perséides.

Montrealers are in for a celestial treat. On Wednesday, August 12, 2026, the skies will put on a spectacular celestial show as a total solar eclipse sweeps across parts of the globe.  While the full, dramatic spectacle of totality will be visible only from parts of Greenland, Iceland and Spain, Quebec and much of Canada will still get a front-row glimpse of the event as a partial solar eclipse. Read: A massive meteor lit up skies visible from Montreal—and its sonic boom shook buildings The eclipse will begin its journey when the Moon’s shadow touches Earth in northern Russia before racing westward across the Arctic Ocean and Greenland. From there, the path of totality will cross Iceland from north to south before reaching northern Spain. The Moon’s shadow will eventually disappear over the Mediterranean, between the Balearic Islands and Sardinia. At its widest point, the path of totality will stretch approximately 319 kilometres across. While Montreal won’t experience totality, a partial solar eclipse will be visible across Quebec and other parts of Canada. The best part? The eclipse is taking place alongside the peak of the Perseids meteor shower. Photograph: Espace pour la vie / Montréal Space for LifePerseids What time is the eclipse in Montreal?

The world’s best cities aren’t just destinations for groundbreaking art, world-class restaurants, lively nightlife and beautiful parks—they’re also great places to live. But what makes a city truly liveable can look very different depending on your generation. Time Out’s annual ranking of the world’s best cities draws on a global survey of people living in cities around the world, evaluating what makes each destination exciting, accessible, enjoyable and a great place to call home. While some qualities—like reliable public transit, beautiful scenery and plenty of things to do—appeal to almost everyone, priorities can shift significantly among different generations. Read more: The Downtown Montréal meeting spot that solves the “where should we go?” debate To create Time Out’s Best Cities for Gen Z, in partnership with Intrepid Travel, we looked at responses from our 2026 global survey specifically from people under 30. The ranking features the highest-scoring city in each country, highlighting the places that young people say offer the best combination of lifestyle, culture and liveability. For many Gen Zers, staying active is a major priority—so it’s no surprise that walkability and access to nature can play an important role in a city’s overall liveability. Having plenty of exciting things to do matters, too, but so does affordability. And when it comes to building a social life, being able to meet new people can be just as important as having great bars, restaurants and cul
