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.

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.

Canadians warned to prepare for flight cancellations, fuel shortages and travel chaos this summer

Your summer trip may be impacted by a new travel warning. The Canadian government just issued a new warning to Canadians that escalating tensions in the Middle East could trigger major travel disruptions around the world — even for travellers not heading anywhere near the region. As millions prepare for summer vacations abroad, officials report that the global situation is already impacting fuel supplies, raising the risk of flight delays, cancellations, rerouted itineraries and soaring travel costs.  Fuel shortages could also disrupt transportation and access to essential goods and services at certain destinations. Read: All the countries on Canada’s travel advisory list for summer 2026 Photograph: Shutterstock / Jeff Whyte What is the Travel Advisory for Canada in 2026? As of May 2026, Global Affairs Canada warns that the ongoing Middle East conflict is causing widespread travel disruptions, including flight cancellations and fuel shortages affecting global travel. Is it a good idea to travel to the Middle East right now? According to the government, travel plans could be affected whether you’re flying to the Middle East, transiting through it or travelling elsewhere entirely, as airlines worldwide continue adjusting routes and operations amid growing instability. Travellers are being urged to carefully reassess their plans, monitor updates from airlines and prepare for sudden changes before departure and while abroad.

Le Canada pourrait ĂȘtre le prochain touchĂ© alors que la saison des tornades explosives aux États-Unis Ă©volue de façon alarmante

MISE À JOUR 13 mai 2026 : Le Northern Tornadoes Project (NTP) a confirmĂ© la premiĂšre tornade de 2026 au Canada Ă  la suite d’une analyse des dommages. Selon un reportage de The Weather Network, la tempĂȘte a traversĂ© l’Ontario avec des vents atteignant 110 km/h. À la suite d’une alerte de tornade Ă©mise rĂ©cemment dans certaines rĂ©gions de l’Ontario, les mĂ©tĂ©orologues surveillent de prĂšs l’évolution de la cĂ©lĂšbre « Tornado Alley ». Selon un rapport de MĂ©tĂ©oMĂ©dia, la saison 2026 est dĂ©jĂ  exceptionnellement active aux États-Unis, avec des systĂšmes violents qui frappent bien au-delĂ  de leurs trajectoires habituelles. A lire: Tous les pays sur la liste des avis de voyage du Canada pour l’étĂ© 2026 Le rapport souligne que, bien que le printemps vienne tout juste de commencer, plus de 530 tornades ont dĂ©jĂ  Ă©tĂ© confirmĂ©es aux États-Unis en 2026. Les zones les plus touchĂ©es se concentrent de plus en plus autour des Grands Lacs et du sud-est amĂ©ricain. Les experts observent depuis plusieurs annĂ©es une migration graduelle de l’activitĂ© tornadique vers l’est — et parfois vers le nord. Alors que la « Tornado Alley » traditionnelle englobe le Texas, l’Oklahoma et le Kansas, l’activitĂ© de cette saison s’étend dĂ©sormais vers des rĂ©gions plus inhabituelles, incluant le nord-est du Midwest et le sud-est amĂ©ricain.

Canada could be next as America's explosive tornado season shifts in an alarming way

UPDATE May 13, 2026: The Northern Tornadoes Project (NTP) has confirmed Canada's first tornado of 2026 following a damage survey. According to a report by The Weather Network, the storm passed through Ontario with 110 km/h winds. On the heels of a tornado warning issued in parts of Ontario, meteorologists are taking a closer look at the famous “Tornado Alley.”  The 2026 tornado season is already highly active in the United States, but according to a report by MĂ©tĂ©oMĂ©dia, several of the most violent storms are striking far from their usual path. Read: All the countries on Canada’s travel advisory list for summer 2026 The report details that while we’re barely into spring, more than 530 tornadoes have already been recorded in the United States in 2026—with the hardest-hit areas increasingly concentrated around the Great Lakes and the southeastern U.S. Experts have also observed for several years a gradual eastward shift of the so-called “tornado corridor.” To date, the pace is well above seasonal averages, and multiple outbreaks of violent weather have already carved paths of destruction across the Midwest and the southeastern U.S. Has a tornado ever hit Canada? While Tornado Alley has traditionally centred around Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas, this year’s activity is shifting in an alarming way—pushing farther north and east.  While Canada sees far fewer tornadoes than the United States, it remains the second-most tornado-prone country in the world.  Ontario, the Prairies and Que
