The best U.S. destinations for a weekend trip in 2026

The best U.S. destinations for a weekend trip in 2026

We love a European vacation as much as the next person, but perhaps less so these days. Despite the innovations in air travel luring us abroad, there’s just too much to see and do right here in America. With plenty of accessible domestic tourism and stunning destinations for year-round travel, a weekend getaway in the U.S. is just the vacation we all need right now. Our picks bypass the obvious choices, say New York or L.A., in favor of smaller cities with booming art scenes, lesser-known towns with incredible restaurants and coastal spots with plenty of room to spread out on the sand. You’ll find fewer crowds and plenty of small-town charm at these unexpected destinations. Looking for someplace to go in 2026? These places should absolutely be on your travel radar this year.

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

La Capital Tacos now open at Time Out Market Montréal

It’s official: Time Out Market MontrĂ©al is now home to some of our favourite tacos in Montreal. The Market, where some of the best chefs and restaurants in the city are gathered under one roof, is welcoming a delicious new addition to its culinary line-up: La Capital Tacos. A pioneer of MontrĂ©al’s Mexican food scene, La Capital Tacos (celebrating over a decade at their Saint-Laurent Boulevard address) is bringing their mouthwatering dishes to Time Out Market MontrĂ©al—located in the heart of Downtown inside the Montreal Eaton Centre. Read: La Capital Tacos and Dobe & Andy are coming to Time Out Market MontrĂ©al La Capital’s menu is exploding with vibrant flavours—a taste of Mexico in the heart of MontrĂ©al. The dishes reflect Geoffrey Emiliano Moreau’s personal journey, shaped by a childhood split between Monterrey and Tijuana.  Since 2018, he has drawn on those roots to craft organic Sonoran-style wheat tortillas, alongside flavours inspired by the coastal town of Rosarito—home to a signature taco that has since become a house specialty.  Photograph: Time Out Market MontrĂ©al | La Capital Tacos Among the first in the city to serve al pastor shaved directly from the trompo, his kitchen also elevates authentic dishes with the daily nixtamalization of corn. An ancestral process that enhances flavour and nutrition, every stone-ground tortilla is made from scratch every day.

Snow threat looms over Montreal as temperatures take a sharp midweek dive

UPDATE April 30, 2026: A frost advisory for the Montreal area has been issued as temperatures plummet.

RĂ©cemment, la STM a fermĂ© trois entrĂ©es de stations de mĂ©tro en raison de prĂ©occupations liĂ©es Ă  la sĂ©curitĂ©. L’agence de transport public de MontrĂ©al prolonge dĂ©sormais son interdiction de flĂąnerie dans les stations de mĂ©tro jusqu’au 30 avril 2027, dans le cadre de ses efforts continus pour amĂ©liorer la sĂ©curitĂ© sur l’ensemble du rĂ©seau. A lire : Le rĂ©seau d’autobus de MontrĂ©al en pleine transformation — vos trajets pourraient changer Photograph: Shutterstock / NorthWerk Photography Selon un rapport de CTV News, la SociĂ©tĂ© de transport de MontrĂ©al (STM) indique que cette dĂ©cision repose sur des donnĂ©es recueillies au cours de l’hiver, soulignant que l’utilisation des stations Ă  des fins non liĂ©es au transport affecte le sentiment de sĂ©curitĂ© des usagers et des employĂ©s. L’organisme affirme Ă©galement une amĂ©lioration de la fiabilitĂ© du service, attribuĂ©e Ă  une diminution des interruptions causĂ©es par le vandalisme. Initialement instaurĂ©e en mars 2025 puis rĂ©introduite en juin, la mesure avait dĂ©jĂ  Ă©tĂ© associĂ©e Ă  une rĂ©duction des agressions envers le personnel et Ă  une amĂ©lioration du sentiment gĂ©nĂ©ral de sĂ©curitĂ©.

STM cracks down on undesirable behaviour in the metro with loitering ban extended until 2027

The STM just closed three metro station entrances due to security concerns. Now, Montreal’s public transit agency is extending its ban on loitering in metro stations until April 30, 2027, as part of ongoing efforts to improve safety across the network. Check out: Montreal bus network getting a major transformation across nearly 80 routes and 6 boroughs Photograph: Shutterstock / NorthWerk Photography According to a report by CTV News, the SociĂ©tĂ© de transport de MontrĂ©al (STM) says the decision is based on data collected over the winter, pointing to the use of stations for non-transit purposes as a factor affecting both riders’ and employees’ sense of security.  The agency also reports improved service reliability, citing fewer disruptions linked to vandalism. Initially introduced in March 2025 and reinstated in June, the policy was previously credited with helping reduce assaults on staff and improving overall perceptions of safety. The extension comes as the STM continues to adjust station access.
