The 44 most beautiful places in the world, according to travellers who’ve seen them all

The 44 most beautiful places in the world, according to travellers who’ve seen them all

What is the most beautiful place in the world? Well, beauty is subjective – it’s in the eye of the beholder, so they say – so that’s really up to your own definition. To some, there’s nowhere more beautiful than Bolivia’s otherworldly mirrored salt flats; to others, California’s rugged coast takes the crown.  Luckily, the world isn’t held to the same rigid beauty standards as humans are. We asked our network of globetrotting travel writers to tell us the most beautiful place they’ve ever been to. The resulting list is a definitive, but by no means exhaustive, guide to the most stunning spots our planet has to offer. We update this list regularly, ensuring we’re including the big-hitters while considering the impact of overtourism and spotlighting lesser-known beauty spots. From gigantic glaciers and shape-shifting beaches to ancient woodland and lantern-lit cities, here’s what we reckon are the most beautiful places on Earth – chosen by travel writers who’ve seen them all IRL. 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.

An odd, dusty ritual that’s performed once a year at the village fête? Not anymore: this 500-year-old artform is getting a surprising revamp. Morris dancers are posting videos of themselves on TikTok sharing routines to Beyoncé’s ‘Break My Soul’. Earlier this year, the all-female dancing side Boss Morris accompanied indie outfit Wet Leg’s performance at the 2023 Brit Awards. And, despite the scene’s historically white, male demographic – in 2020, less than one percent of morris dancers were non-white and there was even a reported attempt by white nationalists to appropriate the tradition – morris dancing is becoming trendier, younger and more diverse.  Photograph: Jeremy Flint At its most basic, morris dancing is a form of English folk dance, based on rhythmic stepping and choreographed figures, often soundtracked by instruments like the pipe, fiddle, melodeon and drums. Practised by different teams, known as ‘sides’, for centuries, this age-old dance has come a long way since the Morris Ring formed in 1934, exclusively for men. Now, the three Morris organisations in the UK – the Morris Ring, Morris Dancers UK and the Morris Federation – cater to all genders, and the dance is experiencing a resurgence in popularity. Could it be true? Sometimes (whisper it), in certain circles, people are cautiously saying that morris dancing
