We asked our editors for the number one destination they think should be on travellers’ radar this year, whether for unmissable events or cool new hotels, unspoiled nature or a growing dining scene. Our sights are set on foodie trips in Spain, starry skies in Norway, surf breaks in Siargao – and much more where that came from. Here are 12 amazing places we think you should explore in 2025.

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.

C’est officiel : Amazon a annoncé la fermeture de ses 7 entrepôts au Québec. Cette décision entraînera l’élimination d’environ 1 700 emplois permanents à temps plein dans la grande région de Montréal, ainsi que 250 postes temporaires. Avec environ 4,5 millions d’habitants dans la région métropolitaine de Montréal, ces fermetures marquent un revirement majeur par rapport aux récents efforts d’expansion d’Amazon dans la province. En 2021, l’entreprise avait ouvert trois stations de livraison, suivies d’une autre l’année dernière.  Elle exploitait également un petit centre de distribution et deux entrepôts de tri de colis au Québec. Pourquoi Amazon ferme-t-il ses entrepôts au Québec ? Le géant du commerce électronique a déclaré que cette décision vise à offrir davantage d’économies aux clients à long terme.  Revenir à un modèle de livraison basé sur des entreprises locales tierces—comme c’était le cas jusqu’en 2020—permettra à Amazon de continuer à fournir le même service. Un syndicat canadien, qui a réussi à syndicaliser un entrepôt, accuse Amazon de fermer ses sites pour contrer les efforts de syndicalisation dans la région.  Amazon a nié que cette décision soit liée à ces accusations.

It’s official: Amazon has announced that it's closing all 7 of their warehouses in Quebec. This decision will eliminate approximately permanent full-time 1,700 jobs in the greater Montreal area, and 250 temporary employees. With roughly 4.5 million residents in the Montreal metropolitan area, the closures mark a significant reversal from Amazon's recent expansion efforts in the province.  In 2021, the company opened three delivery stations, followed by another last year.  It also operated a small fulfillment center and two package sorting warehouses in Quebec. Why is Amazon closing warehouses in Quebec? The e-commerce giant stated that the move would provide additional savings to customers over the long run, and that returning to a third-party delivery model supported by local small businesses—similar to what was in place until 2020—will allow Amazon to provide the same service. A Canadian union that successfully unionized one warehouse has accused Amazon of closing its sites to fend off organizing efforts in the region, while Amazon denied claims that the announcement is related.

There’s a reason so many people choose urban life: cities offer world-class art and culture, incredible food and nightlife, vibrant neighborhoods, and endless opportunities for exploration.  Few places can rival the energy and excitement of city living.

UPDATE, January 21, 2025: Just after the arrival of the polar vortex in Montreal, a major power outage left approximately 100,000 homes in Montreal without electricity this morning. The affected neighbourhoods stretched from St-Laurent to just before Pie-IX and from Bellechasse to Henri-Bourassa, impacting neighborhoods like Ahuntsic, Villeray, and Rosemont. A severe cold is on the way, and it’s going to plunge Montreal into a bitter cold. According to the Weather Network, it is extremely unusual to see so much of North America plunged into such an extreme cold for a five-day period. A potential risk of hypothermia if adequate precautions are not taken when outside, and any skin exposure will result in frostbite. When is the polar vortex coming to Montreal? Sunday and Monday will be the coldest air of the season for much of Quebec. Temperatures are expected to swing from a high of 1 C on Saturday to a low of -19 C on Sunday. Expect brutal wind chills, and lows of -26 C and -27 C to continue into the week.   Photograph: Lena Si | Shutterstock.com What is a polar vortex? A polar vortex is low pressure near the earth’s poles with a large swirling area of extremely cold air. The danger of the polar vortex is the severely cold air it can push from the Arctic to lower latitudes, sometimes lingering for extended periods in severe cases.

Just after the arrival of the polar vortex in Montreal, a power outage left approximately 100,000 homes in Montreal without electricity this morning. The affected neighbourhoods stretched from St-Laurent to just before Pie-IX and from Bellechasse to Henri-Bourassa, impacting neighborhoods like Ahuntsic, Villeray, and Rosemont. Over 50,000 Hydro-Québec customers remained without power at 9 a.m., and by 11 a.m., and by 12:30 p.m., the number had dropped to 9,500. Hydro-Québec expects to restore power to all affected customers by around 2 p.m. Photograph: Shutterstock / ND700 When will the polar vortex end? Temperatures in Montreal today are forecasted to reach a high of -13°C, but the wind chill will make it feel like -24°C in the morning and -19°C in the afternoon. By evening, temperatures will drop to around -21°C, with wind chill pushing it to feel like -28°C overnight. On Wednesday, similar conditions are expected, with a high of -13°C.  However, the wind chill could make it feel as cold as -31°C in the morning and -22°C in the afternoon. Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) has issued a frostbite risk warning. What caused the power outage? According to a Hydro-Québec spokesperson, the power outage was caused by equipment failure at one of its substations. For more updates from the Weather Network, click here.

Un froid intense est en route et plongera Montréal dans une vague de froid mordante. Selon MétéoMédia, il est extrêmement rare de voir une si grande partie de l’Amérique du Nord plongée dans un froid aussi extrême pendant une période de cinq jours. Attention : il existe un risque potentiel d’hypothermie si les précautions nécessaires ne sont pas prises à l’extérieur. Toute peau exposée peut rapidement subir des engelures. Où est situé le vortex polaire en ce moment ? Dimanche et lundi apporteront l’air le plus froid de la saison sur une grande partie du Québec. Les températures passeront d’un maximum de 1 °C samedi à un minimum de -19 °C dimanche. Préparez-vous à des refroidissements éoliens brutaux, avec des minima de -26 °C à -27 °C qui persisteront en début de semaine.

Un vortex polaire est une zone de basse pression située près des pôles terrestres, entourée d’une grande masse d’air extrêmement froid qui tourbillonne.

Looking for a thrilling outdoor adventure? From Snow Bobsleigh and Vortex360 to Snow Rafting, Tornado, and Tubing, there’s an adventure here for everyone. Le Domaine des Pays d’en Haut began as a popular sugar shack. Founded by Arthur and Laurette Raymond in the 50s, it featured two slopes and a crossbow-style lift for thrilling toboggan rides before gaining fame for its sliding hills. The tradition lives on three generations later as the largest tubing park in the world, nestled in the hills near the ski hill Saint-Sauveur. Les Glissades boasts 63 slopes for all skill levels, 15,000 lift rides per hour, and an 80-metre vertical drop across three peaks with 13 snow ride zones.  Photograph: Les Glissades du Domaine des Pays d'en Haut Make sure you grab a poutine from the restaurant La Cabane before heading home.
