Latest Time Out worldwide features

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 and the new. There are long-standing street food stalls...

Love St Patrick’s Day? Well, we’ve got news for you. March 17 isn’t just about drinking gallons of Guinness and fighting your way through screaming crowds dressed in green (although, that is a big part). St Patrick’s Day has actually been around since 1631, and there’s a lot about Ireland’s complex history to be learned from it.  There’s a million and one brilliant songs for Paddy’s Day – from traditional folk songs to belters by The Cranberries, and iconic hits from Enya to modern classics by Hozier and Fontaines D.C. Some of them can teach you a lot about the history of St Paddy’s, but all of them will make you want to sing along. For such a small island, Ireland is a major player when it comes to producing timeless classics and giving birth to genuine superstars. With that in mind, we’ve rounded up the 21 very best Irish tunes to get those pipes going, ahead of 2025’s upcoming celebrations. Go grab a Guinness – it’s time to get green, folks.

Here at Time Out, we really believe locals know best. It’s easy to find out about a city’s biggest attractions, but if you want to really get to know somewhere, you’re going to want to know its secrets; the hidden bars, the tiny galleries, the family-run restaurants that don’t take bookings. The stuff you’ll brag to your pals about for years to come. So that’s where we come in. We have a huge network of writers based all over the world, and every one of them is obsessed with finding and trying out the latest in food and drink, culture and more in their cities. When a local has just worked on one of our city guides, that’s when it’s at its absolute freshest. And that’s what you’ll find here on this page. These guides are brand-new, fresh-off-the-press, and stuffed full of new openings in our favourite cities, all over the world. If you’re looking for holiday inspo, start here. Enjoy! 🔥 We update this list every time a local adds some brand-new hotspots to one of our travel guides, so make sure to come back for more!

Even in the era of streaming overload, it’s hard to find a platform catering to fans of classic and cult cinema. But what if we told you there's a website out there hiding a trove of incredible films, available entirely for free? And what if we told you it’s called YouTube? That’s right: the site mostly known for cat videos and conspiracy theories also has an incredible selection of movies, many of which are unavailable on other services: arthouse curios, silent era milestones, essential deep-cuts. (If you’re looking for more modern fare, YouTube has a full channel of ad-supported films as well.)  Thing is, they can be hard to find, buried underneath the plethora of DIY home improvement videos and the like. So we’ve dug around and found the 30 best full movies available on YouTube – all of which have been legally uploaded.

Sure, you’ve watched movies before. But have you ever watched a movie… on weed? Okay, you’ve probably done that, too. Honestly, if you partake in the devil’s lettuce at all, plopping down in front of the television with a bottomless bag of M&Ms and a side of gummy worms is basically the main leisure activity.  As longtime puffers will tell you, though, not every movie is made to be watched high. Picking the right film for a stoned night in is a precarious science. It doesn’t necessarily need to be a stoner comedy, or even necessarily a so-called ‘dumb comedy’. But if you’re looking to giggle, you probably don’t want to have to think too much about a joke. And if you’re in the mood to simply trip out on some wild imagery, you don’t want to go down a hole of darkness. These 21 films, however, will hit the sweet spot…for as long as you manage to stay awake, anyway.

It took a while for Irish movies to break out internationally – in fact, peruse this list of the best Irish films and you’ll notice most of them are from the ’90s and early 2000s. It’s still rare for a movie from the Emerald Isle to reach a global audience. But those that do tend to stick with you.  Think about the humble romantic musical Once, or Martin McDonagh’s Oscar-nominated, existential character study The Banshees of Inisherin, or the ketamine-fuelled Gaelic rap biopic Kneecap. Regardless of the genre, the best Irish movies exude a particular, idiosyncratic soul reflective of the country’s history, culture and, especially, its people. You don’t have to save these classics for St Patrick’s Day – but if you’re happening to be on the market for a suggestion to mark the holiday, look no further than these 16 cracking selections.

Science fiction may still be a niche genre, but Netflix has a way of opening it up to a wide audience. Some of the streamer’s most popular series, like Stranger Things and Black Mirror, explore fantastical themes and otherworldly settings, yet have become legitimate cultural phenomenons, while lesser-known shows like The OA and Sense8 have earned fervent cult followings. And the trend continues with more recent additions to the company’s catalogue, such as 3 Body Problem, which shares showrunners with Game of Thrones, and the London-set superhero thriller Supacell. If you think you’ve already seen it all, rest assured there’s more for your nerdy mind to consume. Here are the best sci-fi shows Netflix has to offer.

For many years, the true crime genre lived on the fringes of pop culture, relegated to hidden bookstore corners and late-night timeslot fillers on the trashier end of the TV dial. But things have changed. Podcasts like Serial sparked a nationwide obsession with true crime, to the point that television shows like Only Murders in the Building and Based on a True Story now satirise the country’s ongoing fascination with murders, vanishings and other mysterious happenings. Netflix, which contributed to the craze early on with Making a Murderer, has doubled down on the phenomenon, churning out dozens of original docs and docuseries, many of which have gone on to become major hits. As with any genre on Netflix, though, there are many more that end up buried under the platform’s deluge of content, like so many unidentified corpses in the woods. That’s why we’ve combed through the evidence to come up with this list of the best true crime documentaries on Netflix, from the well-hyped to hidden gems.

Everyone knows what great pizza means to them. It could have a paper-thin, crispy base or one so doughy it’s comparable to a pillow; it could be an abundance of vegetables and cured meats or simply a great, classic margherita (for the purists). Some of us even crave a bit of pizza-induced controversy (fans of a white base or those who opt for a pineapple topping, we’re looking at you).  But no matter your preference, whether it’s socially acceptable or totally unhinged to everybody else, you’ll find your perfect pizza pie somewhere in the world, and somewhere on this list, too. That’s because we’ve asked our travel writers and international editorial staff about their absolute favourite spots for when they’re craving a pizza, from Cape Town to Lisbon, Buenos Aires to Miami. We hope you’re hungry – don your napkin and read on for the world’s very best pizzas.  RECOMMENDED:🥪The best sandwiches in the world🥩The best steaks in the world🍝The best cities in the world for food This list was edited by Liv Kelly, a writer for Time Out Travel.

Outside of a few box-office smashes, 2024 was a relatively quiet year for movies, full of fascinating breakouts and leftfield successes, but few major events. But 2025 is shaping up a bit differently. While it’s still hard to spot another #Barbenheimer on the horizon, or even a Deadpool and Wolverine, the calendar is loaded with the return of monolithic franchises like Avatar, Mission: Impossible and Jurassic World and a few monolithic auteurs, including Paul Thomas Anderson, Bong Joon-ho, Lynne Ramsay, Spike Lee and Steven Soderbergh. Shoot, we might even get a Terrence Malick movie this year. Of course, the most exciting thing going into every year are the films you never see coming. Will we get another The Substance or Nickel Boys? Who knows? But that’s why we keep watching – and you can follow along with our ever-growing list of the best movies of the year below.
