‘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.

D’abord, il y a eu WestJet, puis Air Transat. Maintenant, Air Canada a annulé ses vols directs prévus cet été entre le Canada et les États-Unis. Il s’agit de la dernière réduction de service aérien Canada–États-Unis, alors que la demande de voyages vers le sud reste faible sous l’administration américaine actuelle. À lire : Air Transat annule tous ses vols vers les États-Unis après les coupes de WestJet Quelles sont les compagnies qui annulent les vols ? L’annonce a été rapportée en premier par Ishrion Aviation, précisant que la liaison saisonnière d’Air Canada, initialement prévue pour le 1er mai, n’affiche actuellement aucune disponibilité sur le site web de la compagnie.

À découvrir : Nouveau stationnement à YUL avec 1 000 places supplémentaires Selon un rapport d’Ailevon Pacific, Air Transat interrompra tous ses vols vers les États-Unis en juin 2026. De son côté, WestJet a suspendu 16 liaisons vers 10 villes américaines, dont Nashville, San Francisco et Seattle, en raison d’une baisse de la demande. Pourquoi tant de vols sont-ils annulés vers les États-Unis ?

First it was WestJet and then Air Transat. Now, Air Canada has called off planned summer nonstop flights between Canada and the U.S.  Read: Air Transat cancels all U.S. flights starting this spring after WestJet cuts service This marks the latest cutback in Canada–U.S. air service, as demand for travel south of the border remains soft amid the current U.S. administration. Is Canada stopping flights to the US? The announcement was first reported by Ishrion Aviation, detailing that Air Canada’s seasonal route, originally set to launch on May 1, currently shows no booking availability on Air Canada’s website. The airline has suspended flights between Montréal–Trudeau International Airport (YUL) and Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) on Airbus A220-300 jets. Check out: New Montreal YUL airport parking lot open with 1,000 additional spaces According to a report by Ailevon Pacific, Air Transat will halt all its U.S. flights in June, 2026. And WestJet suspended 16 routes to 10 U.S. cities, including Nashville, San Francisco, and Seattle, due to declining demand. Why are so many flights being cancelled in the USA? According to Statistics Canada, return trips to Canada by residents from the U.S. plunged to 1.6 million last month—a 24.3 per cent drop compared with January 2025. The agency noted that most of the decline came from automobile travel, which fell 26.8 per cent to 1.1 million trips, while air travel slipped 17.8 per cent to 493,400 trips.

UPDATE February 21, 2026: More flurries are projected for the southern part of the province this weekend, like a final reminder that winter isn’t quite ready to bow out. Although the snow stopped falling Saturday morning, the lull may be deceptive, with blowing snow making driving tricky throughout the day. Some regions could be treated to a snowy “take two” to start Sunday morning. Another weather system may hit southern Quebec at daybreak. Skiers, rejoice.  Southern Quebec is right on the edge of the heavy weather system hitting the northern U.S. According to a report by MeteoMedia, up to 15 cm of snow may be on its way to southern Quebec—especially near the U.S. border. South of the border—specifically Vermont and New York—snow accumulations are expected to be significant, with up to 20 cm possible in the Adirondacks.  Read this: Where to find best Montreal skiing near the city A similar situation is expected in Ontario, between Kingston and Cornwall. Southern Quebec, however, sits right at the edge of the system hitting the northern U.S., and some areas could see up to 15 cm of snow, while others might get barely 5 cm.  The report details that one thing seems for sure: areas north of Montreal will largely escape the system, with (at most) 5 cm of snow forecast to hit the Laurentides and Lanaudière.

MISE À JOUR : 21 février 2026 D’autres flocons pourraient encore s’inviter dans le sud de la province, comme un dernier rappel de l’hiver qui refuse de plier bagage. Si la neige a cessé de tomber samedi matin, le répit pourrait être trompeur : un élément bien connu des automobilistes menace de compliquer les déplacements au fil de la journée — la redoutable poudrerie. Certaines régions pourraient avoir droit à une véritable « prise 2 » blanche pour amorcer la journée de dimanche. Un autre système météo pourrait frôler le sud du Québec au petit matin, assez pour saupoudrer le décor et raviver les chaussées.  Amateurs de ski, réjouissez-vous ! Le sud du Québec se situe juste à la limite du système qui frappe le nord des États-Unis. Selon un rapport de MétéoMédia, jusqu’à 15 cm de neige pourraient tomber, surtout près de la frontière américaine. Au sud de la frontière — notamment au Vermont et dans l’État de New York — les accumulations devraient être importantes, avec jusqu’à 20 cm possibles dans les Adirondacks. A lire : Où trouver le meilleur ski près de Montréal Une situation similaire est attendue en Ontario, entre Kingston et Cornwall.

Le rapport précise qu’une chose semble certaine : les régions au nord de Montréal échapperont en grande partie au système, avec au maximu

Préparez-vous à lever les yeux : une éclipse lunaire totale (Lune de sang) sera bientôt visible à Montréal, alors que la Lune s’alignera avec le Soleil et la Terre. Cette éclipse lunaire de 2026 sera observable depuis l’Amérique du Nord, le Pacifique, l’Australie et l’Asie de l’Est, mais ne sera pas visible en Europe ni en Afrique. Quand aura lieu l’éclipse lunaire à Montréal? L’éclipse lunaire totale (Lune de sang) sera visible à Montréal tôt le mardi 3 mars 2026. À quelle heure aura lieu l’éclipse lunaire de 2026 à Montréal? La totalité — moment où la Lune devient complètement rouge — débutera vers 6 h 27 (HNE), avec un maximum de l’éclipse autour de 6 h 30 (HNE), très bas à l’horizon ouest, juste avant le coucher de la Lune.

Une éclipse lunaire totale est souvent surnommée « Lune de sang » parce que la Lune prend une teinte rouge cuivrée intense. Ce changement spectaculaire de couleur se produit lorsque la lumière du Soleil traverse l’atmosphère terrestre et se réfracte en direction de la Lune.

Get ready to look up: a total lunar eclipse (Blood Moon) will soon be visible in Montreal. As the moon aligns with the sun and the earth, this 2026 lunar eclipse will be visible from North America, the Pacific, Australia and East Asia, but will not be visible in Europe or Africa.  When is the lunar eclipse in Montreal? The total lunar eclipse (blood moon) will be visible in Montreal early on Tuesday, March 3, 2026.  What time is the lunar eclipse in 2026 in Montreal? Totality, where the moon turns completely red, begins around 6:27 a.m. EST, with the maximum eclipse occurring very low on the western horizon around 6:30 a.m. EST before the moon sets.  3:44 am (Tue, Mar 3) — Penumbral Eclipse begins 4:50 am (Tue, Mar 3) — Partial Eclipse begins 6:04 am (Tue, Mar 3) — Total Eclipse begins 6:27 am (Tue, Mar 3) — Maximum in Montréal 6:30 am (Tue, Mar 3) — Moonset 6:33 am (Tue, Mar 3) — Maximum Eclipse 7:02 am (Tue, Mar 3) — Total Eclipse ends Photograph: Shutterstock / Keith Bramley What is a Blood Moon? A total lunar eclipse is often called a “Blood Moon” because the Moon takes on a deep, coppery red hue. The dramatic colour shift happens when sunlight passes through Earth’s atmosphere and bends (or refracts) on its way to the Moon. Our atmosphere acts like a giant filter: it scatters shorter blue wavelengths of light—hence our blue daytime skies—while allowing longer red and orange wavelengths to travel through more easily. During a total lunar eclipse, those warmer tones are

It’s official: Canada is home to the world’s 8th best beach—and it’s not where you think. Tripadvisor’s Travelers’ Choice “Best of the Best” distinction honours the pinnacle of travel excellence. It’s reserved for destinations and experiences that consistently earn exceptional reviews from the Tripadvisor community over a 12-month period. Read more: Best weekend getaways from Montreal With over 8 million listings worldwide, fewer than 1% reach this elite status. Whether you’re seeking to lounge on sun-kissed sands or dive headfirst into new adventures, this year’s top-ranked beaches promise an unforgettable getaway. What is the best beach in the world? Boulders Beach Penguin Colony in South Africa came in at number one.  Boulders ticks all the classic beach boxes: soft, clean sand perfect for lounging, crisp waters for a refreshing swim, and boardwalks made for leisurely strolls. But the real showstoppers are the African penguins (yes, actual penguins) that call this beach home.  What’s the best beach in Canada? Coming in at number 8 on the list is Hopewell Rocks on the Bay of Fundy in New Brunswick.  The Hopewell Rocks are perched on the Bay of Fundy, famous for the world’s highest—and lowest—tides.  Photograph: Shutterstock / Fotogro When the tide recedes, the ocean floor is exposed, letting you stroll among towering sea stacks that soar up to 70 feet high.  Time Out Tip: the ocean floor is accessible for only 3 hours before until 3 hours after low tide, so plan accordin

After a cold, hard winter, one of things Montreal most looks forward to is March Break—and "springing forward” one hour. The practice of moving the clocks forward one hour means summer (and long, sun-soaked evenings) is on the way. Read: Quebec’s late-winter forecast: bitter cold holds firm, early spring unlikely Photograph: Michael Descharles / Unsplash When is Daylight Saving Time in Canada? Canadians (with a few exceptions) will set their clocks forward one hour from 02:00 (2 am) to 03:00 (3 am) local time on March 8, 2026. Sunrise and sunset will be about 1 hour later on Mar 8, 2026 than the day before., with more light in the evenings and less light in the mornings. When does Daylight Saving Time end in Canada? Standard time, also known as winter time, will resume on Sunday, November 1, 2026. Which province in Canada has no daylight savings time? Yukon, most of Saskatchewan, some locations in Québec east of 63° westerly longitude, Southampton Island, and some areas in British Columbia don't use DST and stay on standard time all year.  Is Canada going to get rid of daylight savings time? Canada first adopted Daylight Saving Time (DST) in 1908, becoming a global pioneer when residents of Port Arthur, Ontario (now Thunder Bay), advanced their clocks by one hour on July 1 of that year. Other cities soon followed: Regina introduced DST in 1914, and Winnipeg and Brandon joined in 1916. Photograph: Berit Kessler     Between 1908 and 2026, Canada will have o
