A red sandstone amphitheatre. An ancient woodland on the English coast. A teeny tiny island with a black sand beach. Beauty comes in all shapes and sizes – luckily, the world isn’t held to the same rigid beauty standards as humans are – and we’ve curated this list to celebrate that.  It goes without saying that Time Out’s ranking of the world’s most beautiful places is entirely subjective and by no means exhaustive, but what we can guarantee is real-life experience.

When the Montreal St. Patrick’s Day Parade takes over the streets in a massive celebration of Irish pride, you know spring in Montreal is just around the corner. This year marks the city’s 201st parade, bringing members of the Irish community from across the island together for music, colourful floats, and one of Montreal’s most beloved annual traditions. It’s a great day to watch a parade with the family, or gather friends to drink in the city's best bars and grab some cheap eats.  What is the St. Patrick's Day Parade in Montreal? This is one of the biggest days of the year for the Irish community of Montreal to celebrate in the downtown core with tons of music, dancing and general good (green) vibes. Put together by the United Irish Societies of Montreal, it’s complete with a grand marshal, chief officer and an elected queen (via a public speaking competition) and princesses. Native sons and daughters of Dublin and beyond also converge on the city to show their support for one of the foundational communities of the city.

This list is from 2025. Our latest ranking for 2026 is live here. People who don’t live in cities will tell you they’re busy, lonely and expensive places. But there’s a reason so many people choose to live in them: with world-class art and culture, unbeatable food and nightlife, buzzing neighbourhoods and a dizzying amount of stuff to do and see, there’s simply no better place to be.  Every year, we take the pulse of city living by quizzing thousands of locals across the planet about life in their hometowns. This year, more than 18,500 city-dwellers shared their insights on everything from food, nightlife and culture to affordability, happiness and the overall city vibe. When urban living can sometimes feel isolating and costly, this year we wanted to get a sense of what, exactly, makes a city feel like home. Sure, the nightlife is great, but is the city safe and walkable? Is good quality food and art available at a reasonable price? Is it easy to make friends, find love, and access nature?  Livability was a key factor in our ranking this year. But a great city to live in is, naturally, a great city to visit. So, along with the thousands of responses from locals around the world, we asked Time Out’s global network of city experts to vote on the places they think are particularly exciting right now. After crunching all that data, here we are: Time Out’s definitive ranking of the world’s best cities in 2025. Read on to see how your hometown fared… RECOMMENDED:🛍️ The coolest n

There’s never been a better – or more important – time to celebrate cinemas. They’re the places we go to dream, focal points of our communities, and an all-round great escape. Yet movie theatres are faced with challenges that even lovelty popcorn holders can’t help with. But they’ve survived the advent of TV, Hollywood strikes, a couple of pandemics, and so far, they’re holding firm against streaming and surging costs – and there’s reasons for optimism, too: younger, Letterboxd-savvy audiences are embracing the big-screen experience like never before, and filmmakers like Ryan Coogler, Christopher Nolan and Chloé Zhao are championing it at every opportunity. Just try booking an IMAX ticket for The Odyssey. With that in mind, Time Out’s local experts have collaborated on a celebration of the best cinemas from across the globe. From cult Tokyo cinemas and grand Parisian film temples to beloved Sydney picturehouses and LA film dream palaces, from a Berlin kino with its own nuclear bunker to a Canadian cinema with only 12 seats, we’ve pointed the spotlight on a hundred magnificent movie palaces that all movie lovers should know about – and visit.  NB We’ve gone almost entirely with single-use cinemas rather than venues that double up as theatres or gig venues.  Greatest cinemas at a glance: 🍿 The greatest cinema in the world: TCL Chinese Theatre, LA 🌔 The world’s best outdoor cinema: Cine Paris, Athens 📽️ The coolest cult cinema in the world: The New Beverly, LA Jump to list

‘Overtourism’. It’s more than a buzzword – in the world’s most popular destinations, it’s a problem that affects almost every aspect of local life, from the environment to the cost of renting, transport and eating out. And when a place is overwhelmed by people, it’s not only locals’ quality of life that suffers; the quality of your trip does, too. But it’s not all bad. Destinations are coming up with ways to redistribute tourism from densely crowded hotspots to lesser-visited regions. Travellers are seeking cooler climes and embracing slow travel, allowing space to discover somewhere new. And they’re still riding the ‘destination dupes’ trend, where overrun holiday destinations are swapped out for less crowded, less expensive, but just-as-good alternatives. On our newly updated list of the world’s most underrated travel destinations, you won’t find your Bangkoks or your Balis, your Amalfis or your Amsterdams. What you will find is the hidden side of Yosemite, the French Riviera’s overlooked twin, a place where penguins outnumber people, and plenty more travel inspo where that came from.Why trust us? Because we’ve been to them all. Every spot on this list was picked by one of our expert editors and globetrotting travel writers, recommended because they offer great (or quiet) alternatives to the classics – and in many cases, because they’re places that actually want tourism. In other words, travelling to any of these 33 criminally overlooked destinations is a win-win situation.

Plus de 300 000 foyers au Québec sont privés d’électricité ce matin à cause de puissantes rafales de vent — et ce nombre continue d’augmenter. À 7 h 15, Environnement Canada a émis une alerte jaune annonçant que des vents forts, capables de causer des dommages, étaient attendus. Selon l’avertissement, des rafales du sud-ouest de près de 90 km/h ont commencé dès le lever du jour. Ces vents impitoyables provoquent des pannes locales, endommagent toits, clôtures, branches et abris légers, et présentent un risque de blessures dû à des débris projetés ou tombants. Si vous prévoyez célébrer la Saint-Patrick à Montréal, soyez prudents : pannes de courant et débris volants pourraient perturber les pubs, bars, restaurants et autres commerces.

Montreal is raising the bar. One Montreal bartender is the reigning Canadian Ultimate Bartender Champion, claiming the Ultimate Bartender Championship (UBC) Americas title in Columbia. Marie-Louise Roy-Bilodeau outperformed 26 of the top bartenders from across North, Central, and South America. Check out: Time Out Market Montreal launches new around-the-world cocktail menu Having worked at Montreal institutions like Cloakroom, 132 Bar Vintage and Nestor, Marie-Louise Roy-Bilodeau calls Cantina Concha home—a hotspot inspired by traditional Mexican cantinas, tucked away in Old Montreal.  What is the Ultimate Bartender Championship? Hosted by Monkey Shoulder, the Ultimate Bartender Championship is widely regarded as one of the most demanding tests of real-world bartending skill.  This competition is a major international event highlighting skill and speed, with Roy-Bilodeau's victory marking a significant milestone for Canadian mixology. Unlike traditional cocktail competitions, UBC evaluates every dimension of the craft: knowledge, speed, accuracy, hospitality, and technical precision. Picture a packed crowd watching competitors advance through six high-pressure stages: The Quiz, Pouring, Nosing, Table Service, The Perfect Serve, and the notoriously gruelling Round Building finale. Representing Canada, Roy-Bilodeau advanced to the semi-finals as the only woman remaining in the top four. In the final round, where bartenders must produce five cocktails and a shot at top speed wit
