Time Out has released its seventh annual list of the World’s Coolest Neighbourhoods, with Notre Dame du Mont in Marseille, France, taking the top spot.  The top five also includes a concrete jungle in Casablanca, the go-to beach neighbourhood in Bali, a fashion district in Seoul and a charming enclave in Portland. All of the neighbourhoods on the list are amazing places to be right now when it comes to culture, diverse things to do and a great sense of community, places where you can always find affordable food and drink, a buzzing nightlife scene as well as dynamic street life during the day, with unique local businesses, new and old. Each year, Time Out – the global brand that inspires and enables people to experience the best of the city – curates its list of the Coolest Neighbourhoods in the most exciting cities around the world. To create the ranking this year, Time Out’s global travel editors worked with local, in-the-know Time Out writers and editors across a selection of the world’s best cities and asked them what the coolest neighbourhood in their city is right now, and why. The selection was then narrowed down and ranked using the insight and expertise of Time Out’s global network of city editors and local experts who know their hometowns better than anybody else.  Grace Beard, Travel Editor at Time Out, says: “Time Out’s annual ranking of the World’s Coolest Neighbourhoods celebrates the most unique and exciting pockets of our cities.

Time Out has released its inaugural ranking of the World’s Best Cities for Nightlife, with Rio de Janeiro taking the crown as the world’s nightlife capital according to locals, followed by Manila and Berlin. Even in the face of increased cost-of-living, a notable shift in young people's social habits towards a more sober lifestyle, and work from home culture transforming Thursdays into the new Fridays, nightlife is not dead – but the traditional markers of nightlife are changing and going “out” is no longer just about simply going to a club. The cities on Time Out’s inaugural World’s Best Cities for Nightlife list prove that the party is far from over: instead, nightlife is evolving into something more exciting, interesting and varied than ever, offering something for everyone.  To compile the list, Time Out – the global brand that inspires and enables people to experience the best of the city – surveyed thousands of people around the world about nightlife and going out in their city. Each city was ranked on how locals rated the quality and affordability of their city’s nightlife scene, as well as which nightlife venues and experiences they love the most in their city. Time Out editors included only the highest-scoring city for each country to ensure the list reflects the nightlife scenes of cities around the world. To complete the list, Time Out’s local experts also reached out to a series of DJs – people who live and breathe nightlife – to nominate three nightlife capitals

Time Out has released its first ever ranking of the World’s Best Cities for Food according to locals, with Naples taking the crown as the world’s food capital.  To compile the list, Time Out – the global brand that inspires and enables people to experience the best of the city – surveyed thousands of people around the world about food in their city. Each city was ranked on how locals rated the quality and affordability of their food scene, and they were also asked about their favourite restaurants, must-try specialities and best-value dishes. Time Out editors included only the highest-scoring city for each country to ensure the list reflects culinary cities globally.  Naples is a city with a diverse cuisine that celebrates simplicity, where land, sea and history meet. The city is, after all, the birthplace of pizza – you’ll find iterations of this staple dish all over the city – but offers so much more when it comes to culinary experiences. Locals named pizza a portafoglio the city’s best-value food, a grab-and-go folded slice that costs around €1 a pop. It’s not just pizza that Neapolitans love; there are also piping hot plates of pasta alla genovese, Neapolitan ragù or the sugar rush from ricotta-filled sfogliatella or rum-soaked babà. Unsurprisingly however, locals named pizza margherita – invented in Naples according to legend – as the city’s must-eat dish. Next on the list is Johannesburg, South Africa. While Cape Town might steal the limelight for its international cuis
