The 51 most beautiful places in the world

The 51 most beautiful places in the world

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. Every single beach, lake, city and valley on this list has been visited and vetted by our globetrotting network of travel writers. In short, they’re all well worth making the journey to see for yourself (no social media fakery here).We update this list regularly, ensuring we’re including the big-hitters while considering the impact of overtourism and spotlighting lesser-known beauty spots. So here it is: Time Out’s guide to the most beautiful places on planet Earth. Happy travels!Updated March 2026: There are seven new additions to the list this year, including a terracotta-coloured Old Town in Italy, an opulent Renaissance-style library in New York and a compact mountain range in northern Spain.Grace Beard is Time Out’s travel editor, based in London.

The 39 coolest neighbourhoods in the world in 2025

The 39 coolest neighbourhoods in the world in 2025

For the past eight years, we’ve made it our mission to scope out the coolest pockets of the world’s greatest cities in order to create our definitive annual ranking. The places where stuff like nightlife, art, culture, and affordable food and drink can be found on every corner and down every backstreet. Where diversity is championed and independent businesses thrive, from old-school boltholes to the newest avant-garde art space. Put simply, the world’s coolest neighbourhoods are places that represent the soul of our cities, while maintaining their own unique local character that draws people in to live, work and play. So, what are the neighbourhoods that fit the bill this year? To find out, we asked our network of writers and editors across a breadth of cities to nominate the vibiest district in their hometown right now. We then ranked every neighbourhood against criteria including culture, community, liveability, nightlife, food and drink, street life and that hard-to-define sense of ‘nowness’.  On our list this year, you’ll find everything from homely, village-like enclaves with tight-knit communities to revitalised city-centre hubs and formerly dormant, industrial areas transformed into creative districts. Many are underrated spots that sit in the shadow of their commercialised counterparts; others have become unexpected culinary hotspots or magnets for the city’s artists, writers and activists. What they all have in common is a DIY spirit – and an unshakeable proclivity f

The 50 best cities in the world in 2025

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

The 100 greatest cinemas in the world right now

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 ChloĂ© 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 đŸ“œïž The coolest cult cinema in the world: The New Beverly, LA Jump to list

New Quebec tool lets you track gas prices in real time across the province

Quebec motorists searching for the best price at the pump now have a powerful new tool at their fingertips—the first of its kind in Canada. Launched Wednesday by Quebec’s energy board, the interactive online platform called RĂ©gie essence QuĂ©bec allows users to zoom in on a map and compare gasoline prices in real time at service stations across the province. Check out: U.S. blocking Canadian access to road along the Canada-U.S. border According to a report by the CBC, the initiative stems from the Act to ensure responsible governance of energy resources, adopted at the National Assembly in June 2025, and arrives amid global tensions and ongoing market volatility. What are gas prices in Montreal today? Designed to improve transparency in the fuel market, the tool aims to help drivers make more informed decisions before filling up.  To see gas prices in real time, check out the link to RĂ©gie essence QuĂ©bec here. The site allows users to search for Regular, Super and Diesel. Retailers are required to update their prices within five minutes of any change. Stations that fail to comply risk fines ranging from $1,000 to $4,000 for a first offence. While operators are being given a brief adjustment period, enforcement is expected to follow.  Drivers who notice discrepancies between posted and pump prices are encouraged to notify the retailer first, and report repeat issues directly through the platform.

Canadian passport fees have officially increased—and it's not just a one-time hike

Le Naufrageur s’inscrit dans une approche axĂ©e sur le terroir, notamment Ă  travers sa sĂ©rie forestiĂšre, oĂč des plantes locales comme la tanaisie, le myrique baumier et le thĂ© du Labrador viennent enrichir les houblons traditionnels. Photograph: Tanaisie | Le Naufrageur Bien plus qu’une microbrasserie, c’est aussi un vĂ©ritable pĂŽle culturel dans la Baie-des-Chaleurs, avec concerts, PubQuiz, soirĂ©es d’impro, danse et Ă©vĂ©nements communautaires tout au long de l’annĂ©e. En 2015, l’entreprise fusionne avec La Mie VĂ©ritable, Ă©largissant ses activitĂ©s et lançant une gamme de pains et baguettes prĂ©cuits et surgelĂ©s aujourd’hui distribuĂ©s Ă  travers la rĂ©gion et les grands centres — un vĂ©ritable goĂ»t de la GaspĂ©sie, dans chaque gorgĂ©e et chaque bouchĂ©e.

U.S. blocking Canadian access to road along the Canada-U.S. border

U.S. blocking Canadian access to road along the Canada-U.S. border

UPDATE March 29, 2026: According to a report by The Canadian Press, a 14-kilometre gravel “Border Road” along the Montana side of the Alberta–U.S. border will close to Canadian traffic in July 2026, ending decades of shared access. The U.S. Border Patrol says the move is aimed at strengthening security and curbing illegal crossings and contraband activity. On the heels of the news that Americans are now visiting Canada more than Canadians visit the U.S. in a historic reversal, Canadians will no longer be able to use this border road. Read more: U.S. travel by Canadians collapses to historic low not seen since 1972 Along the Canada–U.S. border lies a remote strip of road that Canadians have travelled freely for generations. The catch? It’s actually on the American side. For decades, Canadians have used Montana’s Border Road because it links seamlessly with numerous Alberta routes.  Under a long-standing arrangement, Toole County, Mont., provided the gravel while Warner handled the upkeep — a reflection of the close ties between the two border communities. For decades, residents have travelled Border Road without passing through an official crossing — even during past U.S. border security crackdowns. As of next year, Canadians will no longer be able to use the road without first going through an official crossing.  Warner’s Reeve Randy Taylor said U.S. Homeland Security confirmed the shutdown timeline in a meeting last week, after months of speculation. Canadians have long reli

These Montreal pizzaiolos just became the best in the world

From Montreal to World Champions! Groupe NO.900 and its sister brand Locali just swept the International Pizza Challenge—widely considered the world’s premier pizza competition—held in Las Vegas in March. The world’s largest pizza industry trade show, Pizza Expo features the International Pizza Challenge where hundreds of pizzaiolos compete across traditional and creative categories.  Medaling here cements a chef’s place among the global elite. Competing against nearly 750 pizzaiolos and judged entirely blind, three members of the QuĂ©bec delegation rose to the top of the global rankings, securing two first-place finishes and one second-place finish across some of the event’s most competitive categories.

Already crowned 2025 Napoletana STG World Champion, the executive chef of Pizzerias No.900 claimed first place in the Pan Pizza category before going on to defeat the winners of each top division to earn the ultimate title of World Champion Pizza Maker—an honour awarded to the best overall pizzaiolo across all categories.  His achievements were further recognized with his induction into the World Pizza Champions, an invitation-only organization comprising just 70 elite pizzaiolos worldwide.  Photograph: Pizzeria No.900 As one of the first Canadians—and the first QuĂ©bĂ©cois—to join its ranks, D’

Read: Sip your way around the world with these global-inspired cocktails Photograph: Time Out Market MontrĂ©al What makes Le Naufrageur so special? Le Naufrageur has embraced a terroir-driven philosophy, best showcased in its Forest Series, where local plants like tansy, sweet gale, and Labrador tea add unique complexity alongside traditional hops.
