Italy has it all. Whether it’s a city break to Rome, Venice or Milan, or one of Italy’s many charming towns and villages, you’ll have to come back to this magnificent country again and again to see every corner of it. But don’t sleep on Italy’s islands, two of which – Sicily and Sardinia – are the largest in the Mediterranean. Many Italian islands are characterised by black-sand beaches and dramatic landscapes shaped by years of volcanic activity. Some of them are bougie. Some of them still have that rustic Italian charm. But whatever your vibe, here are all of the Italian islands to add to your bucket list.  RECOMMENDED:📍 The best places to visit in Italy🏝 The best beaches in Italy🇮🇹 The essential guide to Italy🌎 The world’s most underrated travel destinations Grace Beard is Time Out’s travel editor.

Afternoon tea. Yes, it's twee, but there is something quite fun about working your way through what's essentially dessert tapas, especially when you’re at one of London’s top hotels or restaurants. We've rounded up London's best afternoon teas in a city renowned for putting on some of the world’s best spreads – with tiny cakes, little finger sarnies and pots of perfect tea the name of the delicious game. Expect to pay in the region of £50 to £80 for the pleasure per person, but you'll be in for a treat and a half. Many of the teas have set times for seatings, so booking in advance is always recommended. RECOMMENDED: The best hotels in London. Leonie Cooper is Time Out London’s Food and Drink Editor.

Choosing the right hotel is a hugely important part of any holiday. How many times has the perfect trip been ruined by shoddy service, leaking showers and uncomfortable beds? Too many times for our liking, so we’ve taken it on our broad shoulders to ensure that this never happens to anyone ever again. Ambitious? You better believe it. These are the absolute best hotels in Amsterdam, guaranteed excellence. The Dutch capital has no shortage of accommodation options, but there is something about our pick of eighteenth-century canal houses, converted bridge keepers’ houses and printing factory-turned-boutique hotspots that win the day. If you’re looking for a tip-top place to bed down after a day out exploring the city’s best museums, attractions and coffee shops, you’ve come to the right place. Updated May 2024: We paid a visit to Amsterdam's oldest hotel, and shock horror – it's secured a place in the hot list.

To really know a city is to eat its food. But what makes a great food city? It isn’t its number of plaudits and Michelin stars, but something a bit more simple: options. Good quality meals at reasonable prices. So we asked thousands of city-dwellers to tell us exactly how good – and how affordable – it is to eat out in their hometown right now.  Locals were quizzed on their city’s must-visit restaurants, must-eat dishes and best-value bites, and were also asked to rate their city’s food scene on both its quality and affordability. To create and rank the final list, we narrowed down the selection by excluding cities with lower overall scores, and including only the highest-scoring city for each country. We then asked our global network of Time Out editors and writers to give us the lowdown on what makes their city an exciting dining destination in 2024, and to recommend their favourite places to eat right now. Of course, Time Out knows food. We’ve been eating our way around the world’s best cities for decades, reviewing and ranking restaurants to keep our best-of lists as fresh as can be. And that world-class curation has since been transformed into bricks-and-mortar spaces: our Time Out Markets, where the best food, drink and cultural experiences all come together under one roof. So for this feature, we turned to the experts – our Time Out Market chefs – to nominate three culinary capitals that deserve a spotlight for their food scenes.  This list is a celebration of culinary

The humble brunch is perhaps one of the greatest inventions of the modern age. Breakfast is too early to really get stuck into, while eating eggs and downing buckets of coffee at lunchtime seems odd. Brunch, then, is the one true morning-ish meal, especially if it incorporates pancakes, bacon and those aforementioned eggs – or a totally vegan take on proceedings like at LD's at The Black Heart in Camden or WAVE in Hackney. London is particularly well stocked with places to indulge in the famous breakfast/lunch hybrid. Let us guide you to the best restaurants in town for a fabulous brunch in our city, from a traditional full english to innovative twists on the majestic meal, such as a bacon bao brunch. And it’s not just a weekend treat; some of these spots serve brunch every single day.  RECOMMENDED: Like unlimited fizz with your fry-up? Here are the best bottomless brunches in London.  Want to brunch for less? Check out the awesome selection at Time Out Offers. Leonie Cooper is Time Out London’s Food and Drink Editor.

タイムアウト東京 > トラベル >2024年、世界で最もクールな30のストリート 旅行で都市を訪れた際、主要な観光スポットを巡るのもいいが、脇道に逸れたり、緑豊かな大通りに出くわしたりしてこそ、その街の本当の個性が垣間見えるものだ。ストリートは地域生活の中心。地域の人々が集ったり、新しく出来た店や施設が行きつけになったり、住民が出かけたり、ぶらぶらしたり、楽しんだりする場所なのだ。 では、今、散策する価値のある、世界で最もクールなストリートとはどこだろうか。その答えを見つけるために、我々は世界各地のそれぞれの都市に在住し、地元の事情に詳しい編集者と寄稿者に連絡を取り、自分たちの都市の最もクールなストリートについて論証してもらった。そして、集まった候補を絞り込み、世界で最もクールな大通り、主要道路、裏通り、並木道などの最終的なランキングを作り上げた。 ここ数年、ストリートライフは多少なりとも進化を遂げてきた。コロナ禍の一時的対応として屋外で行われた飲酒や食事が、我々のランキングに掲載されているストリートの多くで定番となった。さらに、歩行者天国化や大通りの交通量削減など、環境に配慮した取り組みがストリートライフの進化を後押ししている。言い換えれば、ランクインしたこれらの通りは、以前に比べてずっと歩きやすく、時間を過ごすのにずっと快適な場所になったということだ。 ランキングに選ばれたどのストリートでも、フード、ドリンク、ナイトライフ、カルチャーなどの分野で、大胆かつクリエーティブな新しいチャレンジが起きている。リスニングバーから歴史的建造物の再利用まで、各都市での最もエキサイティングな文化的トレンドが見られるのが、これらのストリートなのだ。では、散策へ出かけよう。 関連記事『世界の文化的な都市ベスト20』『2024年、世界のベストシティランキング50』

Whether you’re an avid sunbather, sandcastle builder, swimmer or stroller, there are plenty of things that go into making a truly great beach. Is the scenery what you’re craving, or is it warm limpid waters? Are you a fan of endless stretches of sand, or more partial to charcoal-coloured pebbles? Thankfully, you don’t need to venture all the way to the Caribbean for brilliantly white shores, or all the way up into the mountains for some seriously dramatic landscapes. From the black sand of Iceland and the rugged coasts of Norway to the white sand of Croatia and tiny coves of Italy, Europe’s got us covered.

We all like the idea of summertime in Europe – long, lazy days in the Mediterranean sunshine, whiling away an evening people-watching in local bars – but the reality is often much less romantic, with overtourism, sky-high prices and heatwaves blighting many a Euro Summer fantasy. But it doesn’t have to be that way. To inspire your summer holiday plans this year, we asked writers across Europe to tell us about their favourite alternative summer trip ideas. From Croatia’s quieter island-hopping route to an Estonian spa break, here’s where to head for crowd-free bliss and unsung adventures right across the continent. You’re welcome.

As much as we love London here at Time Out, we’re also partial to the odd daydream about a leisurely getaway to somewhere that’s not quite so big and busy. Microdose on that holiday vibe by taking a day trip to one of the many laidback, joy-inducing destinations just a few hours away from London, which pack in plenty; from historic cities and cute villages to sandy beaches and rolling countryside. If you’re wanting a quick getaway, here are 17 of the Time Out team’s favourite day trips from London, complete with our recommendations of cute pubs and ace restaurants – all close enough to the city to get there and back in one sweet day.  RECOMMENDED:✨The best day trips from London👪 The best family day trips from London☀️ The best weekend trips from London🏘️ The best Airbnbs near London🌳 The best quirky Airbnbs in the UK This article includes affiliate links.

There are an awful lot of things to moan about in the UK, but pubs are not one of them. Pubs are for your friendly catch ups, your Sunday roasts, and your mid-summer sun traps, and we love it all. We really do.  Everyone’s got a favourite (probably the one closest to the end of your road), and so do we. But some pubs are really good for food. Others are great for craft beer. The very best pubs do it all. With that in mind, here we are: the best pubs in the whole of the UK.

Ticking off the main tourist attractions on a city break is all well and good, but it’s only when you veer off down a side street or stumble across a leafy avenue that you really get a glimpse of a city’s true character. Streets are the heart of local life; they’re where communities come together, where new local businesses become go-to staples and where urbanites go out, hang out and have fun.  So what are the world’s coolest streets worth a stroll right now? To find the answer, we reached out to our global team of local expert editors and contributors, who each made a case for the coolest street in their city. We then narrowed down the selection to create a definitive ranking of the best avenues, thoroughfares, backstreets and boulevards on the planet. And so you have it: the coolest streets in the world’s best cities. Over the last few years, street life has gone through something of an evolution. Outdoor drinking and dining, at one point a temporary measure, has become a staple on many of the streets on our hotlist; only bolstered by green initiatives like pedestrianisation and low-traffic avenues. In other words, these streets have become much more walkable and pleasant places to spend our time. On every street on this list, there are bold, creative new ventures in food, drink, nightlife and culture: from listening bars to repurposed heritage buildings, these streets are where you’ll find a city’s most exciting cultural trends.

Amsterdam has its share of historic hotels, but none can boast the legacy of the Doelen. The oldest hotel in the Dutch capital and a designated national heritage site, it’s here in the old banquet hall that Rembrandt’s The Night Watch – one of the world’s most famous paintings – was first displayed, way back in the seventeenth century. While you’ll now find it hanging a ten-minute tram ride away in the Rijksmuseum, a copy of the original is still proudly displayed in the hotel’s Rembrandt Suite.  The entire hotel is modelled after the Dutch master, notably so in the on-site restaurant Omber, where the crockery, menus and even the flowers are all the same shade of deep orangey-brown (apparently Rembrandt’s favourite colour to paint with). The food, we’re told, is influenced by seventeenth-century Dutch flavours, which mostly translates to a lot of pickling and smoking (in other words, delicious).   The lobby could do with a hint of the restaurant’s dark-toned moodiness. It’s almost garishly opulent, coldly lit by a huge crystal chandelier, with ornate gold swirls bordering the walls and enormous vases of flowers, which look somehow a bit stiff and staged. But the rooms and suites are much less stuffy. Our canal-facing suite was the perfect mix of understated and sophisticated, simply decorated with quality furniture, complete with a plush king-sized bed. The best bit? The huge marble-floored bathroom with his-and-hers sinks and a free-standing tub. The Doelen was taken over by

I arrived at Mama Shelter from the beach – sand in my shoes, covered in sun lotion, hair stringy with seawater – and found myself sharing the lift with an impeccably dressed group ascending to the rooftop for sundowners. Not that anyone gave a damn, because anything goes here, the only Portuguese outpost of Mama Shelter’s brand of playful boutique hotels strung across the continent.  It’s as cheeky as its sister venues (sex toys for sale in the lobby, superhero masks on the lampshades, a pretty extensive adult film menu on the telly), but with little Portuguese flourishes to remind you where you are – the forest green tile-clad exterior, a Remodelado tram mural in the lift, ocean-wave carpets in the bedrooms, marine-themed decor in the restaurant and locally-made arts and crafts dotted all over the place.  But, let’s be real, you’re not about to forget you’re slap-bang in the heart of Lisbon. Mama Shelter is just off the lively central thoroughfare of Avenida da Liberdade, and in the other direction you have the boutiques and bars of Príncipe Real – honestly, take any route from the hotel’s corner doors and you’re in for a great walk. Before (or after) you go, though, stick around for a cocktail on Mama’s rooftop or a meal at Mama’s restaurant. Much like its outposts in London, Bordeaux and elsewhere, Mama Shelter is a neighbourhood attraction in its own right.  If the queue’s anything to go by, the rooftop is the place to be at sunset, with an unbeatable view over the city’s

Did you know you can go on safari in Kent? It turns out you can, and it’s actually really, really good. Hundreds of creatures roam the grounds of this 600-acre resort, from Big Five beasts to howler monkeys and bush dogs. Outside of the main wildlife park, safaris trundle guests up the slopes of the reserve to meet giraffes, zebras, rhinos and more. And the whole thing looks out over charming countryside right down to the Kent coast.  While Port Lympne makes for a perfect day trip, an overnight stay is where the magic happens. We camped out in the brand-new Lookout Bubble – and when I say ‘camped’, I mean we slept under the stars in the most luxurious transparent dome you’ve ever seen, complete with a freestanding tub, walk-in shower, seating area, surround sound speakers and a massive, comfy bed. It’s an experience hard to top, waking up to the sounds of animals and getting to explore the reserve before it officially opens for the day (in your very own golf buggy, no less). The Lookout Bubble is right next to the lion’s den, and we were lucky enough to spend an uninterrupted half hour watching the big cats pacing the grounds before anybody else came along.  The bubble’s only downfall? Our stay took place over a warm weekend, and the trapped heat in the dome made spending time inside of it almost unbearable during the day (thank God for the spacious terrace). Conversely, temperatures dropped drastically in the dome when the sun went down, but nothing jumping into bed (or the

Catching sight of My Arbor for the first time is an experience that can’t be overstated. First of all, you’ve already arrived in the impossibly beautiful, straight-from-a-fairytale town of Bressanone, and done the winding drive up green slopes where all you can hear is the faint tinkle of a cowbell. Now you’re in the trees, looking up at a wooden cuboid that seems precariously perched on the skinny trunks of the surrounding pines. My Arbor lives every bit upto its self-billed ‘tree hotel’ title. Inside, you’re hit with a tremendous view over the tree-blanketed South Tyrolean mountains from the hotel restaurant’s sweeping terrace. Above you, thick wooden branches hang like a chandelier. Even the reception desk is made up of two gigantic trunks. Our suite (we stayed in the ‘nest’) is appropriately wood-panelled, with a balcony and window nook overlooking the valley and hills. You could stay in your nook all day watching mountain peaks get swallowed by clouds, but you’re much better off donning your robe and taking the lift down to the spa, where you can drink in all those views from a hydrotherapy infinity pool.  By far the pièce de résistance, Spa Arboris is a maze of pools, saunas, steam rooms and relaxation zones spread across the hotel’s lower levels. After a morning hike (we went alone, but the hotel offers guided hikes, forest bathing and all sorts of other activities to guests), I spent an afternoon cocooned in calm here, swimming the length of the indoor-outdoor heated

It’s fair to expect any spa hotel in Leamington Spa, a Warwickshire town with a long history of harbouring bath houses built around its natural saline springs, to be worth its salt. Nineteenth-century Midlanders in need of some R&R would come to Leamington in search of ‘the cure’ to any number of ailments. Despite rapid development, today the town remains a go-to for weekenders in search of a reviving getaway – and they could do a lot worse than opting for Mallory Court, a palatial yet cosy country manor house and spa on the outskirts of town. Surrounded by endless countryside, we explored the vast grounds before dinner, strolling past manicured lawns, a rose garden bursting with blooms, a chef’s garden full of herbs and vegetables and an apiary. When the British summertime brought its inevitable drizzle, we were relaxing in the heated, bubbling outdoor vitality pool, so no complaints there. Completing the spa’s offerings is a Finnish-style sauna, small but ideal if you manage to get it to yourself or your group. The indoor pool with attached jacuzzi managed to be that perfect, just-right temperature, and felt like silk to swim in. The spa experience fell down for us slightly when we couldn’t get the indoor steam room to be as hot or steamy as we’d have liked, but that could’ve easily been our own oversight.  You’re spoiled for choice when it comes to treatment options. I opted for the full-body exfoliation (perfect) while my guest went for the drift away massage. She spoke a

Way back in 2009, during Derren Brown’s televised event ‘How to Control the Nation’, a friend of mine claimed she’d been subliminally controlled and that she was physically unable to stand up from her seat. Being teenagers, and apparently raging cynics, we all took the piss out of her relentlessly. After watching his latest live extravaganza ‘Showman’, I have to apologise to my mate. Perhaps it was a trick of the light; perhaps I’ve become much more receptive to subliminal suggestion as I’ve aged: however he did it, Brown got me. I can sincerely say that, despite my best efforts to remain a skeptic, a good five to ten seconds were completely erased from my memory.  Without stating the obvious, if you’ve only ever seen Derren Brown on the telly, only in person do you really experience how hypnotic he is. There’s an excitable, almost unruly audience at the Apollo on opening night, but it doesn’t take much for them to become puppets at the end of the illusionist’s string. Brown’s unwavering poise and trademark gallows humour carry a show that swings – often very suddenly – on the pendulum between playful and sobering, heartfelt and horrifying.  The show’s tricks lean on these polarities. One minute there’s a circus-like atmosphere, with balloon-popping games, giant teddy bears and clever card tricks; but before you know it, Brown can rapidly turn the mood on its head. Without giving too much away, it’s the moments of solemn hush that will stay with you after the show, rather tha

The Greek island of Rhodes, a popular holiday hotspot for British and international tourists, was rocked by a 4.8-magnitude tremor last night. The earthquake is the latest in a string of natural disasters and climate-related extreme weather events in Greece and the Mediterranean. This week, parts of Greece are scorching in a 43C heatwave – the earliest heatwave the country has ever seen – leading to tourist attractions including the Acropolis closing in Athens. Nearby Cyprus has seen a wildfire break out around the city of Paphos. Wildfires across Greece, including in Rhodes, led to evacuations last summer.  Understandably, those with trips booked to Rhodes might be wondering if it’s safe to travel to the island following the earthquake. Here’s what we know so far. Is it safe to travel to Rhodes in Greece? Yes. According to local media, the damage was minimal. Flights are still operating to and from the island, and there has been no official advice issued against travelling to Greece. Where was impacted by the earthquake? While tremors were felt in Rhodes, the earthquake's epicenter was detected in the Aegean Sea, around 67km southwest of the island, according to the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC). Tremors were reportedly also felt in Türkiye. What are your rights if you’ve booked a trip? As the UK Foreign Office has not officially advised against travelling to Greece, it’s unlikely you’ll be able to cancel your trip without penalties. Your best bet is to

Swifites of Lyon, assemble: the Eras Tour is landing in your city this weekend. Taylor Swift kicked off the European leg of her tour with four shows in Paris, where fans got to hear a revamped setlist featuring songs from her brand-new double album The Tortured Poets Department. Now, the singer is back in France for a two-night takeover of Lyon’s Groupama Stadium. From timings to tickets, this is everything you need to know about Taylor Swift’s upcoming shows in Lyon. RECOMMENDED:Here’s the full confirmed setlist for the Eras tour in Europe When is Taylor Swift's Eras tour in Lyon?  Taylor Swift will be taking her record-breaking Eras Tour to Groupama Stadium on June 2 and 3.  What time will Taylor Swift come on stage? Groupama Stadium will open its doors for those with early access passes at 5pm, with everyone else able to enter at 6pm. The show starts with a support act at 6.30pm; Taylor Swift is expected to come on stage at around 8pm.  What time will the Taylor Swift concert end? Eras Tour shows span an average of three hours and 15 minutes, with some concerts lasting as long as three hours and 45 minutes, as Taylor has quite a few surprises in her bag. Taylor’s first concert in Paris lasted three hours, with the show ending at around 11pm.  Are there any tickets left? There are very limited tickets available on Ticketmaster France at the time of writing. How much did tickets cost?  Those lucky enough to get tickets in the pre-sale and official sale would’ve paid anywh

Iceland is a popular travel destination thanks to its unique natural landscapes, hot springs and the opportunity to witness the elusive Northern Lights. It’s typically regarded as a super safe place for travellers and expats – but that doesn’t mean it isn’t susceptible to natural disasters. A volcano on the Reykjanes peninsula has erupted for the fifth time since December on Wednesday (May 29), only three weeks after the end of the last eruption. With lava flowing dangerously close, residents of the small fishing town of Grindavík and visitors at the Blug Lagoon spa have been evacuated.  Understandably, those with trips booked to Iceland might wonder whether visiting the country is safe. This is everything we know about travelling to Iceland right now. Is it safe to travel to Iceland?   Despite Wednesday’s eruption, neither the UK Foreign Office nor the US Department of State are recommending against travel – though the former has warned against travelling near the affected region. Where was the volcanic eruption in Iceland?  On Wednesday, a long-dormant volcano erupted for the fifth time since December just north of Grindavík, a town in the Reykjanes Peninsula. Grindavík is in southwest Iceland, around 42km away from the Icelandic capital Reykjavik. Its 4,000 residents were evacuated.  Is the Blue Lagoon open?  Hundreds of people were evacuated from the Blue Lagoon, one of Iceland’s most popular tourist attractions, on Wednesday. The famous geothermal spa will remain closed

It’s been almost a year since singer Loreen bagged the gold for Sweden in the Eurovision Song Contest 2023, which took over the banks of the River Mersey in Liverpool. It was, as expected, an all-out bonkers affair – and no doubt this year will be much of the same, as the world’s most extravagant and eclectic music competition makes its way to the Swedish city of Malmö next month. Read more: A local’s guide to Malmö, Eurovision 2024’s host cityThese are all 37 songs in the Eurovision Song Contest 2024 From dates and venues to how to get tickets, here’s everything you need to know about Eurovision 2024. When and where is Eurovision 2024? Following a Swedish win last year, the coastal city of Malmö in southern Sweden will host this year’s contest. The competition is set to take over Malmö Arena in May, with the semi-finals held on May 7 and 9 and the final taking place on Saturday May 11. How to get Eurovision tickets Tickets for the live semi-finals, the live final, and afternoon and evening previews are available to buy from Ticketmaster. What countries are taking part? There are 37 countries taking part in this year’s contest. All the usual EBU countries will be participating, though Russia is still barred following the country’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine, and Romania has chosen not to participate this year. For the first time since 1993, Luxembourg will participate in 2024. Israel is also taking part, which has led to controversy and a number of fans and groups boycotting t

As one of Europe’s most popular destinations for food and culture, it’s about time Barcelona got a Time Out Market.  That’s right – this summer, the city’s best chefs, restaurants and bars will come together under one roof. Pair all that with some very cool cultural experiences, and you have Barcelona’s most hotly-anticipated opening.  The market will be on Port Vell, on the upper floor of the Maremagnum shopping centre. Expect views over the sea, the city and the marina, plus fourteen kitchens, a full-service restaurant, four bars (two indoor and two outdoor), an event space, and even a podcast studio.  Photograph: Time Out Market Montreal In exciting news, we can now reveal the first five chefs on the Time Out Market Barcelona line-up. A Michelin restaurant with views of the Mediterranean First up is esteemed chef Fran López, who has two Michelin stars for Xerta in Barcelona ​​and for Villa Retiro in Tarragona. At only 25 years old, López, born in L’Aldea (Tarragona) and trained in Barcelona and Paris under the tutelage of Alain Ducasse, became the fourth-youngest chef in the world to receive a Michelin star in 2009. He’ll bring his contemporary fine dining creations to the market, with dishes full of flavours from the Ebro region.  Photo: Xerta Xerta The two hottest new chefs in Barcelona BaLó had a big year in 2023. The restaurant, co-owned by Lena Maria Grané (from Barcelona) and Ricky Smith (from London), won big at the Time Out Barcelona Food and Drink Awards.

Dubai, normally known for its arid climate and scorching year-round temperatures, has been hit by extreme flooding this week as the UAE saw a year and a half’s worth of rain in just one day.

Dubai experienced severe flooding this week after heavy downpours on Monday and Tuesday. Footage of cars engulfed in water, streets turned into rivers and flooded homes have proliferated, while schools have shut and Dubai airport has ceased most operations. Can I still travel? Those in Dubai who want to travel home will face major disruptions as all outbound flights are delayed for the foreseeable. The airport started receiving some inbound flights on Thursday, but most flights in and out of Dubai have been cancelled or delayed. You should check with your airline for the latest. UK passengers flying via Dubai with Emirates are entitled to an onward flight if their original flight is cancelled. Emirates should book you on with any airline, so long as the route goes to your final destination. However, with thousands of people waiting for flights both to and from Dubai, you can expect delays. Have flights been cancelled? All airlines using Dubai International Airport – one of the busiest airports in the world – have had to divert, cancel or delay flights. On Wednesday, Emirates announced it had suspended check-in for all passe

Few lifestyles are more romanticised than the Italian ‘dolce vita’. And while the reality of daily life in Italy might not quite match up to the idealised image of long, lazy Mediterranean summers and Vespa rides around (somehow deserted) Roman sites, it’s hard to deny the allure of the boot-shaped European country. If you can’t live the sweet life in Italy, where can you?  Well, it might be time to make that dream a reality. After three years of discussions, Italy finally signed a digital nomad visa into law on March 22, and applications are now open! As with any visa, though, there are a few requirements – here’s everything you need to know about Italy’s brand-new digital nomad visa. Who can apply for an Italian digital nomad visa? As of April 4, remote workers – those employed by a company outside of Italy but free to work from anywhere – and self-employed people can apply for Italy’s digital nomad visa. There is also scope for the applicant’s family to join them, subject to approval from the Italian government.  How long will the visas last? Digital nomads can live in Italy for up to a year, but they will have the option to renew their visa. What is the minimum income for a digital nomad visa in Italy? Applicants need to earn at least €28,000 (£23,992.50) per year (which is triple the minimum level required for exemption from Italian healthcare costs).  What are the other requirements? Applicants must have health insurance and accommodation arranged for the duration

Já passou quase um ano desde que Loreen conquistou o ouro para a Suécia no Festival Eurovisão da Canção 2023, junto às margens do rio Mersey, em Liverpool.

Após uma vitória sueca em 2023, é a cidade costeira de Malmö, no sul da Suécia, que serve de palco ao concurso deste ano.

Participam todos os países habituais da UER – excepto a Rússia, que ainda está proibida de participar devido à invasão da Ucrânia em 2022, e a Roménia, que optou por não concorrer este ano. Pela primeira vez desde 1993, o Luxemburgo vai participar. E Israel também entra na competição, o que tem gerado controvérsia e levado alguns fãs e grupos a boicotarem o concurso. Seguindo com a tr

It’s that time of year again – when we at Time Out release our annual ranking of the world’s coolest streets, a definitive guide to the greatest avenues, thoroughfares, backstreets and boulevards on the planet.  The list is chosen by a global team of local experts across some of the world’s best cities, who each made a case for their favourite local drag to be included. Across Europe, featured streets included Gerrard Street in London, Barcelona’s Consell de Cent and Berlin’s Oranienstraße – but it was Rua da Boavista in Lisbon that was crowned the coolest on the continent. The street, which runs through Lisbon’s nightlife neighbourhood Cais do Sodré, ranked seventh. Commenting on its trendiness, Vera Moura – editor of Time Out Lisbon – shouted out its ‘new ventures in eating, drinking and shopping’.  ‘Few neighbourhoods in Lisbon have lived as many lives as Cais do Sodré, a neighbourhood which has grown beyond its nightlife legacy and become a place to shop local, have a family brunch and dinner with friends,’ said Vera. ‘Right next door to the original Time Out Market, Rua da Boavista is an excellent representation of the neighbourhood’s new chapter: a central thoroughfare where new ventures in eating, drinking and shopping sprout up all the time.’ Vera recommends shopping at minimalist Portuguese clothing brand +351, eating at Cav 86, Planto, and Tricky's, and drinking natural wine at Boavista Social Club, which she says is the place to go for ‘a relaxed night out typical
