The 41 most underrated travel destinations in the world

The 41 most underrated travel destinations in the world

It seems the tide might be finally turning when it comes to where – and how – we travel. In some of the world’s most visited cities and destinations, overtourism has become such a pressing issue that travellers are finally starting to look elsewhere, keen to avoid adding to the problem and eager to discover what else the world has to offer. Trends like the ‘quiet-cation’ and the ‘coolcation’ are on the rise, while popular destinations like Japan and Italy continue to come up with ways to redistribute tourism from densely crowded hotspots to lesser-visited regions. If you’re trying to be a more responsible traveller in 2027 – or if you’re simply craving quieter, cheaper alternatives to the overcrowded hotspots – read on. Time Out’s newly updated list of the world’s most underrated travel destinations features empty national parks and tiny time-warp towns; placid jungle stretches and deserted beaches; wild mountain regions and overlooked cities.  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 are actively seeking tourism. In other words, travelling to any of these 41 destinations is a win-win situation.

Best things to do in Old Montreal

Best things to do in Old Montreal

Visiting Old Montreal is a one-stop-shop for some of the best things to do in this city, and walking through the neighbourhood alone is one of the city’s best attractions. The near-400-year history of the area reveals itself as you wander through its cobblestone streets, narrow alleyways, and shadows of its towering structures that once served as some of the most important facilities of the Port of Montreal. The distinct charm of this area can be chalked up to its charismatic architecture, ease of walkability and the diversity of bars, restaurants, museums and boutiques that line its streets in all directions. Any given walkthrough will help remind you that Montreal once stood as the economic heart of Canada, painting a beautiful portrait of the wealthy financial institutions once backed by Scottish and British merchants. There’s so much more than meets the eye: Here is a list of a few of the most fun and fascinating things to do in Old Montreal.

The 40 coolest neighbourhoods in the world in 2026

The 40 coolest neighbourhoods in the world in 2026

Over the past half-decade or so, much has changed in the way we live, work and play in our cities. It wasn’t too long ago that lockdowns rendered the city centre all but obsolete and brought to the fore the vital role of our immediate neighbourhoods and communities.  Now, the balance has been restored. Our local neighbourhood remains fundamental: mini-villages where the barista knows your order, where local restaurants, bars and indie businesses thrive, and where communities continue to band together for all sorts of cool stuff, from art walks and day festivals to creating greener streets and pedestrian-friendly spaces. And six years on from the pandemic, the city centre is seeing a renaissance, with brand-new music venues, galleries, coffee shops and more opening up and welcoming a new generation of hybrid workers and the back-to-the-office crowd (and, of course, city-breakers and tourists).  On this year’s list of the world’s coolest neighbourhoods, you’ll see this mix play out. There are downtown hubs and seaside strips, homely enclaves and warehouse districts, all nominated by our global network of on-the-ground experts. This lucky lot spends their time exploring every corner of their hometowns to discover the best places to eat, drink, shop and hang out right now, so you can trust we know what we’re talking about. To decide the final ranking, a panel of Time Out editors vetted each neighbourhood against a range of criteria, including food and drink, nightlife, unique loc

The 39 coolest neighbourhoods in the world in 2025

This list is from 2025. Our latest ranking for 2026 is live here. 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 al

The world’s most beautiful hotels, according to Time Out editors

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 đŸŒș 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 đŸ™ïž 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.

The world’s 20 best cities for food right now

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

The announcement was made in the former Hudson's Bay Company in Downtown Montreal. Titled Finding Utopia (or L’éveil D’utopia in French), the immersive show will make its world premiere in MontrĂ©al’s Old Port on April 22, 2027, before heading to Place des Festivals Zibi in Gatineau on September 5, 2027.

Jusqu’à 20 cm de neige pourraient tomber au QuĂ©bec ce week-end : voici les rĂ©gions touchĂ©es

Pneus d’hiver ? Selon un bulletin de MĂ©tĂ©oMĂ©dia, un systĂšme mĂ©tĂ©orologique qui traversera la province ce week-end pourrait dĂ©verser jusqu’à 20 cm de neige par endroits, particuliĂšrement dans les rĂ©gions montagneuses et les secteurs en altitude. Plusieurs rĂ©gions pourraient ainsi avoir droit Ă  un sĂ©rieux avant-goĂ»t de l’hiver, avec des accumulations de neige localement importantes.

Parmi les secteurs les plus susceptibles d’ĂȘtre touchĂ©s figurent la rĂ©serve faunique des Laurentides, entre QuĂ©bec et le Saguenay, l’intĂ©rieur des terres dans le Bas-Saint-Laurent et la GaspĂ©sie, ainsi que le nord du QuĂ©bec. Un scĂ©nario semblable pourrait se produire sur la CĂŽte-Nord, le long du fleuve Saint-Laurent, notamment entre Baie-Comeau et Sept-Îles. Plus au sud, de faibles averses de neige pourraient Ă©galement toucher les secteurs en altitude de l’Estrie et de la Beauce, prĂšs de la frontiĂšre amĂ©ricaine, ainsi que certaines parties des Laurentides et de la Mauricie. Il est encore trop tĂŽt pour confirmer les quantitĂ©s exactes, mais certains secteurs pourraient recevoir jusqu’à 20 cm de neige. Ce serait au-delĂ  du seuil de 15 cm utilisĂ© par MĂ©tĂ©oMĂ©dia pour qualifier un Ă©pisode de bordĂ©e de neige.
