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

It’s official: food, fun, culture, and community—this Vancouver street truly has it all. For this year’s edition of Time Out’s annual list of the world’s coolest streets, our global network of local editors and experts nominated the streets that best capture the spirit of their cities. Time Out’s international travel team then refined the list, ranking each street based on food, drink, culture, entertainment, and community vibe. What’s the coolest street in the world in 2025? Rio de Janeiro's Rua do Senado was ranked the number one coolest street in the world followed by Osaka's Orange Street at number two, Porto's Rua do Bonjardim coming in at number three, Chengdu's Fanghua Street at number four.

It’s official: Up to 5 mm of freezing rain followed by more snow is expected mainly over the island of Montreal and Laval, and it’s happening tonight. According to Environment Canada, a low-pressure system is moving through southern Quebec today with a secondary low forming over New York State.  When will the freezing rain start in Montreal? The warm front lifting across the St. Lawrence Valley Saturday evening will bring light snow to Montreal late in the day, changing to freezing rain in the evening.  The snow level will split Greater Montreal in two, with the west end receiving a mix of freezing rain and rain. Freezing rain with up to 5 mm of ice will change to snow overnight with up to 5 cm of snow falling by Sunday morning. Roads will become slippery, and isolated power outages are possible, while winds will strengthen from the northeast at 20–40 km/h, shifting northwest Sunday at 30–50 km/h. North and east of Montreal—including Quebec City and the Highway 20 corridor—should expect mostly snow, with 10–20 cm likely. Temperatures will rise to around 0°C Saturday evening, then fall below freezing again Sunday, with flurries and another 2 cm possible. Brief bursts of heavier snow may occur. Winter driving conditions have returned: even small amounts of ice can make roads hazardous. Roads and walkways will likely become icy and slippery.
