Here at Time Out, we love all hotels equally: the flashy five-stars, the cool boutiques, the well-thought-out budget stays. But some are, undoubtedly, better looking than others. Whether ‘beautiful’ to you is a secluded jungle lodge or an eco-cool city stay, a kitschy motel or a reawakened royal residence, we’ve got them all on this list (and then some).  Now, it goes without saying that any list of the world’s most beautiful hotels is entirely subjective and by no means exhaustive. But what we can offer is real-life experience: every place on this list has been visited by one of Time Out’s editors, writers and hotel experts. From Punjab to Palermo, California to Costa Rica, we can guarantee that each hotel packs serious wow factor, and you’ll have an excellent stay at them all.  The world’s most beautiful hotels at a glance 🏰 Best heritage hotel: Ashford Castle  ⛰️ Best for show-stopping scenery: The Hiramatsu Karuizawa Miyota 🌺 Most beautiful gardens and grounds: Four Seasons Hotel Firenze 🎨 Best for avant-garde art and design: Jackalope Hotel 👑 Best for all-out maximalism: The Fifth Avenue Hotel 🏊 Most beautiful pool: The Phoenicia Malta 🏙️ Most beautiful city-centre hotel: Le Pavillon de la Reine How did we choose the world’s most beautiful hotels?  Our global team of editors, writers and hotel experts spend a lot of their time reviewing hotels in their corner of the world.

‘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.

This list is from 2025. Check out the latest ranking here. In January, we published our annual ranking of the world’s best cities. To create the list, we quizzed city-dwellers on everything from happiness and nightlife to walkability – and while all these factors are important in making a city great, let’s face it: a city is nothing without its food. From street eats to fine dining, family-run taverns to cutting-edge kitchens, eating and drinking is the backbone of local culture in our cities and the reason many of us choose to travel.  So, in order to figure out the great culinary metropolises of today, we surveyed thousands of people around the world about food in their city. We asked locals to rate their city’s food scene across 18 different criteria, including quality, affordability and attributes from ‘family-friendly’ to ‘experimental’.  Each city was ranked according to quality and affordability ratings, alongside a score from a panel of Time Out food experts – editors, food critics and Time Out Market chefs – who were asked to share their insights into the most exciting cities for food right now. To create the final ranking, we included only the highest-scoring city for each country to ensure the list reflects culinary cities globally. We then asked our global network of food writers to tell us exactly what makes their city such an exciting place to eat right now. The result? A very tasty list indeed. In each of these 20 cities, you’ll find the best of the old-school

Restaurants all over the world are crafting and griddling their own take on the classic beef burger, with homemade sauces, whacky buns, and specialty meats elevating these patties to entirely new levels. We wanted to find out where, exactly, one can find the tastiest, juiciest, most decadent and inventive burgers out there right now.

Susan Moss wasn’t simply a concert photographer—she was one of the people who helped define how Montreal’s music scene, and the city itself, looked. For decades, camera in hand, Moss captured the artists, festivals, clubs, crowds and wonderfully chaotic moments that made the city’s music culture so distinctive. From international superstars like Prince and Dave Grohl to Montreal’s local musicians and emerging talent, her photographs turned fleeting moments into a visual record of the city.  Read: The best festivals and events in Montreal for 2026 Photograph: Susan Moss / Tourisme MontréalQuartier des Spectacles According to a report by the CBC, Moss began photographing Montreal’s alternative music scene after working at Bar Bifteck before becoming a house photographer for Evenko.

L’entrée principale de cette station de métro est officiellement fermée pour les 18 prochains mois, obligeant les usagers de la ligne bleue à modifier leur trajet habituel pendant la durée des travaux. Les Montréalais qui utilisent régulièrement la station Fabre sur la ligne bleue devront donc revoir leur itinéraire. Depuis le mardi 8 septembre 2026, l’entrée principale de la station, connue sous le nom d’accès A, est complètement fermée — et la STM prévoit qu’elle le restera pendant environ un an et demi. La station demeure ouverte, mais les usagers doivent désormais entrer et sortir par l’accès B, situé à l’angle des rues Jean-Talon et Fabre.

This Montreal metro station’s main entrance is officially closed for the next 18 months, forcing Blue Line commuters to use another entrance while major construction gets underway. Montreal commuters who regularly use Fabre station on the Blue Line will need to change their usual route. As of Tuesday, September 8, 2026, the station’s main entrance, known as Access A, is fully closed—and the STM expects it to remain shut for roughly a year and a half. The station itself remains open, but passengers will now need to enter and exit through Access B at the corner of Jean-Talon and Fabre streets. What is the status of the new metro line in Montréal? The Montreal Metro Blue Line extension is under construction, with the tunnel boring machine Lisette digging the 4.6-kilometre tunnel eastward. Scheduled to open in 2031, the roughly 6-kilometre extension will add five new stations along Jean-Talon Street East to Anjou, with costs estimated at $7.6 billion Read: Montreal road closures and construction: 42 major projects planned for fall 2026 Photograph: Shutterstock / SevenMapsMetro Why is Fabre metro station’s main entrance closing?
