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.

Montréal : après une tempête de verglas, des pluies torrentielles et des chutes de neige record, on comprendrait que vous ayez un petit coup de blues. Mais devinez quoi ? Rien de tel qu’un cocktail savamment élaboré pour vous redonner le sourire. Avec le lancement de son tout premier menu de cocktails, Cynthia Lachapelle—gérante de Marché au Time Out Market Montréal et responsable des bars—a imaginé 12 nouvelles créations inspirées des quartiers les plus emblématiques de la ville. Photograph: Cynthia Lachapelle | Time Out Market Montréal Du sable fin des Caraïbes à la scène de mixologie effervescente de Montréal, Cynthia a tracé un parcours aussi riche qu’inspirant, avec une approche créative pensée pour faire voyager les gens, une gorgée à la fois. De 2015 à 2019, elle a perfectionné son art du service et du bar au sein du Club Med, travaillant dans des destinations de rêve comme Punta Cana, Columbus Isle, Cancun et Sahoro au Japon. Mais c’est en 2017, à Opio en France, qu’elle plonge véritablement dans l’univers de la mixologie, découvrant un monde où innovation et précision se rencontrent. Animée par une soif d’apprentissage, elle revient à Montréal en 2019 et rejoint l’équipe du Time Out Market Montréal en tant que bartender. Au sein du Marché—qui réunit sous un même toit certains des meilleurs chefs et restaurants de la ville—elle affine ses techniques, développe sa créativité et marque l’histoire en créant le poste de cheffe de bar.

Crystal water. Blinding white beaches. A rich cultural heritage.  And the oldest rum distillery in the world? Barbados may just be the perfect island. Driving along winding roads flanked by lush sugar cane, this Montrealer spotted something on the horizon as I made my way to the birthplace of rum. Perched on the northern tip of Barbados in the parish of St. Lucy (there are 11 parishes in Barbados), I counted down the seconds until I arrived at ​​the iconic spot where it all began in 1703.  On the menu: a tour of the original grounds and fully-operational rum-making headquarters, pot stills and bonds. In short, a rum-drinkers paradise. Photograph: Laura Osborne | Time Out Picture 300 acres of rolling fields that serve the world. Dripping in three centuries of history, with some dark periods in the rum distiller’s legacy, Mount Gay was (ironically) originally owned by John Sober in the 1700s. Known as the Oxford plantation, in 1747 Sir John Gay Alleyne arrived, hence the name Mount Gay. Walking out of the impossibly elegant main building, palm fronds swaying in the wind on either side, I put on my hard hat and was ready to go. Photograph: Laura Osborne | Time Out The first thing I learned from my tour guide was the deceptively simple recipe for making one of the world’s most appreciated beverages: water, yeast and molasses. Walking across an impossibly grassy green lawn, the tour started at the discreet stone shed that houses Mount Gay’s artesian well.  Photograph: Laura O

Montreal: we wouldn't blame you if you had a mild case of the blues thanks to an ice storm, torrential rain and record-breaking snowstorms. Guess what? There’s nothing like an expertly crafted cocktail to turn that frown upside down.  With the launch of her first cocktail menu, Cynthia Lachapelle—Time Out Market Montréal’s Market Manager overseeing the bars—has dreamed up 12 new cocktails inspired by some of Montreal’s favourite neighbourhoods.  Photograph: Cynthia Lachapelle | Time Out Market Montréal From the fine sands of the Caribbean to Montreal's epic mixology scene, Cynthia has carved out a path as rich as it is inspiring, using a creative approach designed to take guests on a journey, one sip at a time. From 2015 to 2019, she honed her craft at Club Med, perfecting her service and bartending skills across dreamy destinations like Punta Cana, Columbus Isle, Cancun, and Sahoro, Japan. But it wasn’t until 2017 when she truly delved into the world of mixology, discovering the place where innovation and precision meet in Opio, France. Driven by a thirst for learning, she returned to Montreal in 2019 and joined the team at Time Out Market Montréal as a bartender. The Market ((home to some of the best chefs and restaurants in the city under one roof) is where Cynthia has refined her techniques, expanded her creativity, and made history by creating the new role of Head Bartender. As Market Manager overseeing the bars, she now takes on a new challenge—leading the development

This weekend, Environment Canada issued a weather warning predicting freezing rain and up to 10 millimetres of ice accumulation. As of this morning, Hydro-Québec crews are working to restore power for almost 65,000 customers due to the messy weather conditions over the weekend. According to Hydro-Québec, many of the outages were a result of tree branches falling on power lines after being weighed down. Photograph: Shutterstock/ Marc Bruxelle Freezing rain also impacted Ontario this weekend, leaving 390,000 customers without power as of Monday morning.  According to the utility, full restoration could take several days. Photograph: Shutterstock / LisaCarter How many addresses are without power?  There are currently 63,481 addresses affected out of 4,437,555, with 333 interruptions, across Quebec.

Is Montreal preparing for another ice storm? A freezing rain warning was issued for Montreal and Southern Quebec today, with ice pellets and gusty winds. According to Environment Canada, snow mixed with ice pellets will arrive early Sunday morning then change to freezing rain late in the morning. Freezing rain warnings are issued when rain falling in sub-zero temperatures creates ice build-up and icy surfaces. Gusty winds and a wind chill -11C will also be in the weather mix.   Several hours of freezing rain could cause up to 10 millimetres of ice build up, making surfaces such as highways, roads, walkways and parking lots icy and slippery.  Photograph: Shutterstock/ Marc Bruxelle Be prepared to adjust your driving with changing road conditions. The update also warns that ice build-up may cause tree branches to break. Time Out Tip: make sure to be prepared in the event of an ice storm power outage.

It’s official: Life is a cabaret. The OG diva of the Real Housewives franchise, Luann de Lesseps, touched down in Montreal for one night only, and it felt like a fever dream. I met the Countess in the lobby of her hotel in downtown Montreal, and she looked every inch the glamorous Bravo royal that she is—even down to her hat (made by a U.K. milliner who just received a royal warrant from Queen Camilla, bien sur).  We sat down in a quiet corner of the bar and chatted about the Montreal neighbourhood she was staying in, the Canadian dates for her hit show Countess Cabaret (get ready, Vancouver and Calgary), and her newest projects (including an episode of Murdoch Mysteries airing April 7, 2025). And, of course, pirates. All I could think was: “Be cool. Don’t be all, like, uncool.” Ending our conversation with a little French, she whisked off to get ready for her evening show. A few hours later I was watching her on stage at the Rialto Theatre in Montreal's Mile End, giving the performance of her life, including self-deprecating anecdotes about her sex life that had the crowd roaring, multiple outfit changes that were feeling Jovani, and a live interactive trivia session with the audience.

It’s official: the world champion of Neapolitan pizza is in Montréal.   Pizzaiolo Mirko D’Agata, executive chef of Pizzerias No.900 and Morso, has won the prestigious title of world pizza champion. Stealing the show in the Neapolitan Pizza category at the International Pizza Challenge in Las Vegas (where the best pizzaiolos in the world go to compete), Chef Mirko D’Agata was one of five chefs who advanced to the final.  Spoiler alert: the chef’s marinara pizza was the slice that won over the judges, earning him the coveted first place. Photograph: Pizza No. 900 / @no900pizza / Facebook And there was more Québec representation: Pizzaiolo Simon Melki from the Pizzerias No.900 Monkland branch, and his colleague Samuel Goddard Gauthier (No.900 in Bromont), placed 22nd and 10th in the Pan Pizza and Non-Traditional categories, respectively.

La liste tant convoitée des pays les plus heureux du monde a été révélée, et bien que le Canada figure dans le top 20, il a perdu quelques places par rapport à l’année dernière. Malgré son classement parmi les meilleures destinations pour voyager seul en 2025 et son titre de deuxième pays le plus convoité au monde, le Canada est en recul dans le classement du bonheur cette année. Le Rapport mondial sur le bonheur 2025 s’est concentré sur l’impact du partage et de la solidarité sur le bien-être des populations. Photograph: Shutterstock / EB Adventure Photography Où se classe le Canada parmi les pays les plus heureux du monde en 2025 ? Selon le Rapport mondial sur le bonheur 2025, le Canada se classe au 18ᵉ rang des pays les plus heureux du monde, en baisse par rapport à la 15ᵉ place en 2023 et à la 5ᵉ place en 2011. Une baisse notable de la qualité de vie perçue par les Canadiens a été rapportée, passant de 7,5 sur 10 en 2011 à environ 6,8 en 2024. Le Canada s’était classé dans le top 10 en 2013, atteignant la 6ᵉ place. Cette année, le rapport, axé sur le partage et la bienveillance, a mis en lumière un pessimisme généralisé concernant la volonté des gens d’aider les autres. Cependant, des études citées dans le rapport ont remis en question cette perception : des chercheurs ayant volontairement égaré des portefeuilles dans plusieurs villes du monde ont constaté que les habitants étaient bien plus enclins à les restituer que ne le prédisaient les sondages.

MISE À JOUR, 27 mars 2025 : Environnement Canada vient de publier un bulletin météorologique spécial concernant la neige attendue sur le sud et le sud-ouest du Québec le samedi 29 mars 2025. Un système dépressionnaire pourrait apporter des accumulations de neige importantes à Montréal et dans les Cantons-de-l'Est, du vendredi soir jusqu'à la mi-journée samedi. Le rapport avertit que la neige pourrait se transformer en grésil. Si vous n'avez pas encore vu les prévisions officielles du printemps pour Montréal, préparez-vous. Avant même d’entrer en avril, un système majeur apportant un mélange de neige, de pluie verglaçante, de vents forts et de pluie est en route. Un important système en provenance des États-Unis devrait frapper le Québec ce week-end et durer jusqu'à trois jours. Le Québec pourrait être fortement touché samedi, dimanche et lundi, avec des vents violents compliquant la situation. Plusieurs types de précipitations sont attendus, alors les Montréalais doivent se préparer à un véritable cocktail météo, une situation qui ne s'est pas produite souvent depuis décembre 2024. Ce système majeur pourrait produire de la neige soutenue, parfois mêlée à d'importantes quantités de pluie verglaçante. Photograph: Shutterstock/ Marc Bruxelle L’an dernier, entre 20 et 30 cm de neige lourde sont tombés les 3 et 4 avril.

UPDATE, March 27, 2025: Environment Canada has just issued a special weather statement regarding snow over southern and southwestern Quebec on Saturday, March 29, 2025. A low pressure system may bring significant snowfall amounts to Montreal and the Eastern Townships from Friday evening to Saturday midday. The report warns that snow could change over to ice pellets. If you haven’t seen the official spring forecast for Montreal, you might want to brace yourself. Before we even reach April, a heavy system bringing a messy mix of snow, freezing rain, wind and more rain is on its way. A significant system coming from the U.S. is expected to hit Quebec this weekend, lasting up to three days.  Quebec could be heavily affected on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, with strong winds complicating the situation.  Several types of precipitation are expected, so Montrealers should get ready for a real weather mix, something that hasn’t happened often since December, 2024. This major system could produce steady snow, occasionally mixed with freezing rain in large amounts. Photograph: Shutterstock/ Marc Bruxelle Does Montreal get snow in March? Last year, 20 to 30 cm of heavy snow fell on April 3 and 4. Strong gusts caused hundreds of thousands of power outages in Quebec. Nearly two years ago, an ice storm struck Quebec in early April. Over one million power outages were reported due to the freezing rain, which reached 35 mm in some areas. Photograph: Shutterstock / ND700 When will the sno

Lady Gaga is coming back to Canada this fall, and bringing The Mayhem Bell tour with her. She'll be touring 16 cities across Canada, Europe and the U.S., with only two Canadian stops on the 2025 tour. Canadian Little Monsters wanting to catch an at-home show will be flocking to one giant arena on back-to-back nights this September. The American singer-songwriter posted the following message on her Instagram: “I wasn’t planning to tour this year after my shows in Singapore but the incredible response to the new album inspired me to keep things going. It came together super quickly thanks to Arthur Fogel and the amazing team at Live Nation, who planned a global tour in just a few weeks. We chose arenas this time to give me the opportunity to control the details of the show in a way you simply can’t in stadiums—and honestly, I can’t wait. This show is designed to be the kind of theatrical and electrifying experience that brings Mayhem to life exactly how I envision it. The Mayhem Ball Tour is officially coming your way. See you soon, monsters.” View this post on Instagram A post shared by Lady Gaga (@ladygaga) Is Lady Gaga coming to Montreal on tour?
