Muhriz Murad, known by his artist name “Poke Two,” is a Malaysian-born graffiti artist based in Dubai, UAE. His journey into the world of graffiti began in Melbourne, Australia, where the vibrant street art scene sparked his passion for urban expression. Combining his background in graphic design with an innate talent for style writing and lettering, Poke Two brings unique artistry to the streets, blending bold colour combinations with intricate effects. This latest piece by Poke Two, “Urban Layers,” embodies the spirit of New York’s iconic graffiti culture while infusing Dubai’s modern energy. Layering stylized letterforms with abstract elements, the mural captures the raw dynamism of city life. Each stroke and texture speaks to the rebellious essence of street art, weaving together bold colours and experimental forms. Influenced by graffiti’s rich history and pioneers, the artwork showcases a collision of order and chaos, reflecting the ever-evolving nature of urban landscapes and the stories that unfold within them. “Urban Layers” also emphasizes sustainability through its mixed-media approach, incorporating recycled materials, magazine cutouts, and layered sticker posters. With deep blues symbolizing water, fiery reds and oranges for fire, and earthy greens and browns representing land, the mural invites viewers to contemplate the delicate balance between human creativity and environmental responsibility. This piece energizes Time Out Market Dubai, evoking a powerful mess

On the surface, we in the UK can hardly compete when it comes to French finesse or Italian charm, but think about it: our generations of world-renowned poets, hopeless romantic playwrights and Hugh Grant types have gotta come from somewhere.  Across the country’s lovely, cobbled villages, cutesy beachside retreats and dramatic, literature-inspiring scenery, there are nods to our history of romance all over the shop, but the lovey-dovey vibes are still buzzing today. So, if you’re planning a loved-up getaway, you’re in luck, as the UK is dusted with a fine collection of romantic places – here are our top picks.

It’s officially winter. There’s no denying it. It was only Halloween a second ago and now we seem to be hurtling ever closer to Christmas. But don’t let it feel like Christmas is the only thing going for this time of year – there’s plenty of time for nesting in December. In our opinion, this is the perfect time for a holiday. After all, European breaks weren’t all they cracked up to be this summer, marked by heatwaves and overtourism. So we’d go as far as to argue that a ton of the most well-loved holiday hotspots are even better in winter, when summer destinations lose their throngs of tourists, and cosy breaks get even cosier. On our list of the best winter destinations in Europe, we’ve got everything from Italian foodie breaks to the official home of Santa Claus. Here are our favourite spots in Europe for winter to embrace the cold for 2024.

It’s hard not to fall in love with Wales. This nation may be small but best believe it is crammed with irresistible Celtic charm, spectacular wilderness and vibrant culture. Even after growing up in Bannau Brycheiniog and spending family holidays up north and along the coast, I still cannot get enough. It’s the perfect place to rejuvenate, to give your mind a rest and to bathe in the warm hospitality of Welsh people. It’s also a hugely overlooked arts and music hub. From Michelin-star establishments, to gorgeous hikes, an official book town and several critically acclaimed festivals, whatever kind of getaway you're after, this is the very best of Cymru.  RECOMMENDED: 📍 The best places to go in Wales 🍴 The best things to do in North Wales 👀 The best things to do in Cardiff🌤️ The best things to do in the UK This article was recently updated by Amy Houghton, a writer from Bannau Brycheiniog, Wales.

Restaurants in Niagara Falls, Canada, represent the breadth of everything Ontario has to offer—from farm-fresh produce to those crisp Niagara wine country beverages to romantic scenery and diverse cuisines. A tourist town once plagued with fast food has been revolutionized by local chefs committed to the quality of the region. While Niagara Falls serves as a tourists' playground, there are food options for anyone in your group. You’ve got your filet-mignon-fine-dining establishments, your burger-and-a-beer breweries, and, of course, the piece de resistance of Canadian culture: poutine. What will you choose? The contemporary Indian place, the seafood restaurant, or the revolving dining room of the Skylon? Your taste buds await your decision as you plan out your visit to the best restaurants in Niagara Falls.

A small but mighty city built on a rich tapestry of heritage and tradition, Cardiff packs a punch when it comes to its diverse cultural offerings. I was born and raised in the Welsh capital, and though I moved to London at 20, I still return often. This pull on my heart is known in Welsh as ‘hiraeth’, a word likened to feeling a deep longing for the place where you grew up.  Within Cardiff’s many characterful suburbs, you’ll hear sing-song accents via the wild, humorous stories that tumble out of the city’s warm-natured people. You’ll try both local delicacies and global delights from its thriving food scene (check out our list of the best restaurants for the very best picks). Above all, you’ll see why it’s no wonder I feel so immensely grateful to call it my hometown. Here are the best things to do in Cardiff right now.  How long do I need in Cardiff? While 48 hours may be enough to get a feel of the city, you could spend days traversing its rolling hills, historic castle grounds or Edwardian arcades and continue to unearth new discoveries and surprises, from local landmarks to the city’s best boozers (and beyond).  RECOMMENDED:🍽️ The best restaurants in Cardiff🏨 The best Airbnbs in Cardiff📍 The best things to do in Wales☀️ The best things to do in the UK This guide was recently updated by Sophie Williams, a writer based in Cardiff. At Time Out, all of our travel guides are written by local writers who know their cities inside out.

You’ve done the classics: the capital cities, the TikTok viral spots, the cities with their own Netflix show. And don’t get us wrong, we love the classics for a reason. But there’s a downside to these big, bustling, bucket-list-worthy travel destinations. If you’ve ever queued an hour for a pastry, spent your day’s budget on a coffee or had to book a museum three months in advance, you’ll know it as well as us: it’s the crowds. The thing is, locals aren’t happy about it either. This summer saw a series of anti-tourism demonstrations in European hotspots, as locals reached breaking point with years of overtourism; Amsterdam is cracking down on new hotels, Venice is set to double its tourist tax in 2025. So there’s never been a better time to think outside the box for your travels – especially when so many incredible European spots are getting overlooked. And we’re not gatekeepers here at Time Out. From culture-packed city breaks to under-the-radar national parks, these destinations have got everything you want from your next holiday, with the added bonus of far fewer people jostling to see the same attractions. So if you’re travelling on a budget, searching for quiet or just desperate to try somewhere new, these are the most underrated places to visit in Europe right now, handpicked by Time Out's network of well-travelled writers.

As the weather turns in the northern hemisphere, thoughts turn to long nights and festive cheer. Us? Quite the opposite, in fact, as we’re dreaming of tropical getaways and islands straight out of those most romantic of travel dreams. There are some seriously stunning islands in the world, from Caribbean charmers to northern nooks that might just be from another planet, with plenty of beauty in between. Narrowing down a list of the prettiest islands in the world to just eleven was no easy process, and this collection could include five times as many spots and still be accurate. Of course, we’re happy with our choices, and these places remind us how incredible our little planet is. If you’re visiting (lucky you), don’t forget the sunglasses, suncream, and a good book.

Fundada en 1945, la UNESCO (Organización de las Naciones Unidas para la Educación, la Ciencia y la Cultura) se ha convertido en una especie de guía de la majestuosidad del mundo. La Convención del Patrimonio Mundial se sumó en 1972 y la organización se dedicó a elaborar un catálogo de las maravillas más increíbles del mundo, desde montañas y mares hasta obras de la arquitectura espectaculares hechas por el ser humano. Tras ser actualizada, esta lista impresionante incluye ahora 1.223 puestos de 168 países, desde Afganistán hasta Zimbabue, con mucha historia a sus espaldas. Incluso en una lista tan completa, ciertos sitios destacan, sobre todo si nos fijamos solo en su belleza. La UNESCO sabe lo que se hace y nosotros hemos cogido algunos de los espacios incluidos para elaborar el ranking de los 15 lugares más bonitos de la tierra declarados patrimonio de la humanidad por la UNESCO. 1. Islas Galápagos, Ecuador Foto: Shutterstock Si queremos empezar una recopilación de los lugares más extraordinarios del mundo, nada mejor que hacerlo por las islas Galápagos. Este fue el primer lugar inscrito en la lista del Patrimonio de la UNESCO y es uno de los lugares más increíbles del planeta. Las islas son más famosas por su única fauna, pero no podemos pasar por alto la espectacularidad de los paisajes. Las Galápagos son un mundo de aguas cian, vegetación exuberante y una atmósfera que no se puede encontrar en ningún otro sitio del planeta. 2. Venecia, Italia Foto: Shutterstock Venec

Fundada el 1945, la UNESCO (Organització de les Nacions Unides per a l'Educació, la Ciència i la Cultura) s'ha convertit en una mena de guia de la majestuositat del món. La Convenció del Patrimoni Mundial es va afegir l'any 1972 i l'organització es va dedicar a elaborar un catàleg de les meravelles més increïbles del món, des de muntanyes i mars fins a obres de l'arquitectura espectaculars fetes per l'ésser humà. Després de ser actualitzada, aquesta llista impressionant ara inclou 1.223 llocs de 168 països, des de l'Afganistan fins a Zimbàbue, amb molta història a les seves espatlles. Fins i tot en una llista tan completa, certs llocs destaquen, sobretot si ens fixem només en la seva bellesa. La UNESCO sap el que es fa i nosaltres hem agafat alguns dels espais que hi han inclòs per elaborar el rànquing dels 15 llocs més bonics de la terra declarats patrimoni de la humanitat per la UNESCO. 1. Illes Galápagos, Equador Foto: Shutterstock   Si volem començar un recull dels llocs més extraordinaris del món, res millor que fer-ho per les illes Galápagos. Aquest va ser el primer lloc inscrit a la llista del Patrimoni de la UNESCO i és un dels indrets més increïbles del planeta. Les illes són més famoses per la seva fauna única, però no podem passar per alt l'espectacularitat dels paisatges. Les Galápagos són un món d'aigües cian, vegetació exuberant i una atmosfera que no es pot trobar a cap altre lloc del planeta. 2. Venècia, Itàlia  Foto: Shutterstock   Venècia continua lluita

El món és un lloc terrorífic. Els esperits habiten tots els racons del planeta, perduts entre aquest món i l'altre, a la recerca de la pau, la serenitat o potser d'algunes persones vives per espantar (no tenim criteri per assegurar els motius dels fantasmes, després de tot). Els llocs més embruixats del món són una barreja de racons clàssics fantasmagòrics i alguns llocs menys previsibles; des d'antics hospitals i mansions fins a pubs de muntanya i pobles abandonats. Les celebracions de la temporada més esgarrifosa estan en marxa, però aquests cementiris i fortaleses aterridores poden fer que la por sigui massa real. Passes? Xiuxiueigs? Sanglots de vídues pretèrites? No sabem de què parleu... 1. Poveglia, Itàlia Foto: Shutterstock Venècia pot ser el lloc més romàntic d'Europa, però també és un dels més encantats. Podeu inserir aquí el vostre comentari sobre l'amor maleït, però sort per trobar la teva veu al fred de Poveglia. Aquesta illa abandonada es va utilitzar com a estació de quarantena durant més d'un segle abans d'acollir un hospital psiquiàtric, que va tancar el 1968. Fa tanta por que els visitants estan prohibits, presumiblement per por de... Bé, per por. 2. La Isla de las Muñecas, Mèxic Foto: Shutterstock La Isla de la Muñecas en realitat encara fa més por del que indica el nom. El propietari d'aquesta illa situada al sud de la Ciutat de Mèxic va començar a penjar ninots dels arbres a la dècada del 1940, aparentment per allunyar els mals esperits, i va acabar cr

El mundo es un sitio terrorífico. Los espíritus habitan todos los rincones del planeta, perdidos entre este mundo y el otro, en busca de la paz, la serenidad o quizás de algunas personas vivas a quien asustar (al fin y al cabo, no tenemos criterio para asegurar los motivos de los fantasmas). Los lugares más embrujados del mundo son una mezcla de rincones clásicos fantasmagóricos y algunos sitios menos previsibles; desde antiguos hospitales y mansiones hasta pubs de montaña y pueblos abandonados. Las celebraciones de la temporada más escalofriante están en marcha, pero estos cementerios y fortalezas aterradoras pueden hacer que el miedo sea demasiado real. ¿Pasos? ¿Susurros? No sabemos de qué habláis... 1. Poveglia, Italia Foto: Shutterstock Venecia puede ser el sitio más romántico de Europa, pero también es uno de los más encantados. Puedes insertar aquí su comentario sobre el amor maldito, pero suerte para encontrar tu voz en el frío de Poveglia. Esta isla abandonada se utilizó como estación de cuarentena durante más de un siglo antes de acoger un hospital psiquiátrico, que cerró en 1968. Da tanto miedo de que los visitantes están prohibidos, por miedo a... Bueno, por miedo. 2. La Isla de las Muñecas, México Foto: Shutterstock La Isla de las Muñecas en realidad aún da más miedo de lo que indica el nombre.

¿Dónde estaríamos sin el transporte público? Nuestro mundo está cada vez más dominado por ciudades que crecen día a día, y cada vez más está más claro de que el tráfico de automóviles en constante aumento es una mala noticia para nosotros y para el planeta. En este contexto, los trenes, autobuses y tranvías son los héroes anónimos que, literalmente, podrían salvar el mundo. Está claro que un autobús abarrotado en hora punta no es exactamente la experiencia de un viaje de ensueño. Pero cuando se trata de explorar alguna de las mejores ciudades del mundo, no hay mejor forma que coger un tren y descubrirla a través de los ojos de quienes las habitan. Y algunas de las mejores redes de transporte público del mundo funcionan incluso como una experiencia cultural en sí misma, con diseños y calidades sublimes. Para identificar las ciudades con mejor transporte público, encuestamos a más de 20.000 habitantes de 50 ciudades de todo el mundo. Simplemente preguntamos: ¿es fácil moverse por tu ciudad en transporte público? Y en las ciudades que se muestran a continuación, al menos cuatro de cada cinco habitantes tenían cosas buenas que decir sobre la red de transporte público de su ciudad.  Madrid, en el puesto número 12  La clasificación la encabeza Berlín, con un 97% de los encuestados satisfechos con su red de transporte público. A la capital alemana le sigue Praga y Tokio, con un 96% y un 94% de satisfacción respectivamente.  Para encontrar una ciudad española tenemos que bajar hasta

After years of working to meet requirements, Bosnia and Herzegovina is finally on the highway to EU membership. The European Commission has granted candidate status for the country – and the skies over Sarajevo, Banja Luka, Mostar and the rest shine a little brighter (though the autumn weather might also have something to do with that).  What does that mean for travellers? Good things, hopefully. Having lived here on and off for the last 13 years, I’ve heard the term ‘undiscovered gem’ get drilled deep into the ground – but I’m more than happy to say that Bosnia and Herzegovina might just be the most underrated travel destination in Europe. EU status would likely bring improvements to infrastructure, road and air connections and the rest, while the possibility of Schengen status has clear benefits for friction-free border crossings. We’ll wait and see what happens, but there are plenty of reasons for optimism, both for Bosnians and travellers. So why should you be excited? Because Bosnia and Herzegovina is a stunning conveyor belt of beauty packed with history, culture, great food and great people. Sarajevo teems with history, while the Stari Most (Old Bridge) in Mostar is one of the most impressive bridges on the planet; the nightlife in Banja Luka goes all night long, while the streets of Tuzla, Trebinje and Bihać are packed with charming cafes and romantic restaurants. On the subject of the latter, you haven’t eaten grilled meat until you’ve done so in Travnik, with the el
