No one has actually been to a speakeasy, well, unless you're 100 years old and have lived through Prohibition in the 1920s and early 1930s, that is. What we call 'speakeasies' in Hong Kong are themed bars inspired by the vestiges of the Prohibition era, bars that are intentionally hidden from plain sight, lacks signage, discreetly located in obscured entrances, and showcasing cocktails and experiences designed to look like you're going back in time.  Discovering these bars is already part of the drinking experience, and drinking at these 'hidden' gems can be a magical encounter. And while locating these 'secret' bars is not a daunting task, finding the very best is entirely a different matter. Read on to discover Hong Kong's best-disguised drinking holes and bars-within-bars that serve quality drinks that will keep you coming back for seconds.  RECOMMENDED: Looking for new bars? Here's a list of all the hottest openings in the city. 

At Time Out Paris, we’ve been eating and drinking our way around the City of Light for a long time. So we know what we’re talking about when it comes to good food – and right here, you’ll find our absolute favourite spots for 2023. We’ve scoured the streets of Paris, reviewing every restaurant worth its salt in the capital. The result: our definitive ranking of the 50 best restaurants in Paris right now. (Unsurprisingly, lots of them also won big at our latest Time Out Food and Drink Awards.) This year, fine-dining restaurant Le Clarence has taken our top spot for its intricate seasonal menu, and the newly-managed Grande Brasserie (taken on by Adrien Spanu in 2022) has made its way into the rankings for the very first time. But there’s no need to clutch your purse: this list isn’t just about the finer things in life. Whatever your budget, you’ll find something worth eating here – from sausage and mash in homely bistros to the best ham sandwich you’ve ever tasted for €5. From classic French cooking to Japanese noodles, fresher-than-fresh seafood to best-in-class döner kebabs, these are the very best restaurants in Paris right now. Your table awaits… This article was written by the editorial team at Time Out Paris. At Time Out, all of our travel guides are written by local writers who know their cities inside out.

For more than 50 years, Time Out has discovered and championed the best of city culture – from art to theatre, clubbing to food and drink. Now that curation has leapt off our magazine and web pages and into physical reality as Time Out Market – a place where you can immerse yourself in the best stuff in your city, all under one roof (and a few with expansive outdoor spaces), all with the Time Out seal of approval. Our expert editors know their field and their city inside-out. We are constantly crawling the city in search of the best restaurants and bars. When we review spots, we show up unannounced and pay our own way to keep things honest (see our editorial guidelines here). That in-depth knowledge has helped us to curate a dream-team lineup of chefs and bartenders for Time Out Market so that you always get the best of the city under one roof. The chefs, restaurants and bars we consider for Time Out Market have already been celebrated by Time Out editors – so before the first drink is poured or the first dish is served, we know it’s a five-star destination. The result is a unique dining and cultural venue, curated without fear or favour and entirely based on what we believe is exceptional. If it’s good, it goes in the magazine or on the website. If it’s great, it goes in the Time Out Market. Read on to discover the Time Out Markets you can visit right now, and what’s coming soon to a city near you. Your table awaits…

No hace falta decir que Europa está llena de sitios increíbles. Pero muchos de estos sitios son también bastante obvios. Venecia, Ámsterdam, la costa amalfitana... sí, son impresionantes. Pero el problema es que todo el mundo quiere ir, lo que significa que muchas de las capitales europeas, hubs culturales y bonitos paisajes están llenos de turistas y con precios desorbitados. Algunos de estos destinos incluso han empezado a decir que quieren que los turistas no vayan. Pero para cada sitio abarrotado de visitantes, hay otros que pasan injustamente desapercibidos: lugares donde puedes pasarte horas sin ver a otro turista, o al menos alternativos a los tradicionales destinos de vacaciones. Así que esto es lo que sugerimos: este verano, evitaos romperos el cuello intentando ver la Mona Lisa. Ahorraos las colas del Vaticano, y viajad a algunos destinos menos conocidos del continente. Desde los Balcanes hasta el Báltico, desde el Atlántico hasta la costa Adriática, hemos reunido a escritores de viajes y expertos locales para descubrir las ciudades infravaloradas de Europa, las islas, regiones, playas, pueblos, lagos y todo de por medio.

Madrid siempre tiene un plan preparado para sorprenderte.

These restaurants make a strong argument for switching permanently to a Mediterranean diet. You can do fancy Greek at the Apollo where you can order up saganaki (that's fried cheese) and slow roasted lamb shoulder, or you can hit up an old school gyros joint, and smash grilled Greek pita bread jammed with crisp, fatty pork bits. Whether it's a late night snack or a full family feast, these are the best places to eat Greek food in Sydney. If you're working on a budget try one of the best cheap eats in Sydney.  After Italian? Here's our guide to the tastiest Italian restaurants in Sydney. Keep eating at the absolute best restaurants in Sydney.

Winter is well and truly underway in Sydney, and there are heaps of reasons to get into the spirit of the season. Along with all the pre-existing perks of getting to live in Sydney during winter (eg: reasonably mild-ish temperatures, shimmering coastlines and wattle explosions), there is also an entire host of cold-weather activities and adventures happening across every corner of the city.  This year, we're looking at four days of French cheese, wine and culture going down for the epic Bastille Festival at Circular Quay. We'll also be warming up with the Sydney Ramen Festival (because, obviously), then getting into a magical state of mind at the Wizardry High Tea and Harry Potter-themed Yule Ball celebrations that will be going down all month. We'll also be heading down to Canberra for a Christmas in July festival (who needs Strasbourg?) and then feasting on another festive lunch closer to home with fine-diner Nel's monthly Sunday Christmas lunch. This July is looking pretty snug. Want something to do, right now? Check out our list of everything happening in Sydney today. 

Hong Kong is known for many things; its dynamic culinary scene, architectural mix of old and new, and of course, that iconic skyline. But that’s not all, as our concrete jungle is also wrapped in lush verdant hills with magnificent islands and dramatic rock formations surrounding us, and the best way to take in the city in all its mountainous glory is, yes that’s right, a hike. So, whether you’re a hiking novice, leading the charge, or simply want to check off some of Hong Kong’s must-hikes, we've outlined our favourites with tips and directions to help you on your way.  RECOMMENDED: Prefer things at a different pace? Go for a stroll in one of Hong Kong's Chinese-style gardens instead.

Hong Kong's skyline is legendary. Centred on Victoria Harbour, it's a nightly festival of neon and LED lights flickering against glass towers. There are many places in the city where you can glimpse these majestic skylines, but the best ones are those where you can drink and dine. Hong Kong has a bundle of rooftop bars that offer jaw-dropping views of the city. Whether you're planning a romantic night under the stars, a celebration with your nearest and dearest, or just looking for somewhere to get away from – or above – it all, one of these watering holes in Hong Kong is sure to have you covered.  RECOMMENDED: Also, check out these picturesque places to catch the sunset, or go for an adventure to Hong Kong's best spots for stargazing.

Sex shops get a bad wrap, but the skeezy, back-alley stereotype is far from the norm in these sexually enlightened times. Greater sex positivity has helped society shed many uptight taboos and lifted the veil on the erotic hijinks many of us choose to dabble in. As the saying goes, a workman (or woman, or non-binary person) is only as good as their tools, so it's worth investing in some quality hardware if you care about how you get your kicks. We've hunted down Sydney's finest purveyors of bedroom playthings, from cheeky toys to hardcore fetish gear – and if you cannot visit in person, they all deliver, discreetly and direct to your door.

Charlie es un profesor de instituto cuya única compañía es su obesidad severa. Pasa las horas solos sumergido en la culpa por abandonar a su hija cuando se enamoró de otra mujer. Su hija, ahora adolescente, vive con su madre y no tiene relación con Charlie. Ahora tratará de reconectar con ella en una última oportunidad de redención.

La compañía Las Niñas de Cádiz regresa a las tablas con una tragedia griega en clave de chirigota que reflexiona sobre la suerte, los celos, las pasiones y los amores prohibidos. Con Cádiz como telón de fondo, el montaje presenta a Mariola y Vero, dos amigas con fortunas diferentes: a Vero le salen las cosas bien, pero Mariola tiene un auténtico “mal fario”. Todo cambia cuando Vero decide invitarla a vivir en su casa, momento en el que se produce una concatenación de dramáticas situaciones.

Each summer, Bard fanatics watch their favorite works come to life at the historic Old Zoo in Griffith Park. Independent Shakespeare Co. puts on a series of lively productions each week, inviting audiences to take a seat on the grass (read: bring a picnic blanket) and enjoy performances like this season’s headliners: Julius Caesar (July 5–31) and A Midsummer Night’s Dream (Aug 9–Sept 3). After two seasons in a smaller section of the park, the productions are back on the main lawn of the Old Zoo—meaning reservations are no longer required, though they’re still appreciated.

Ubicado en pleno corazón de Lavapiés, el Espacio Cultural La Indomable acoge toda serie de  exposiciones, charlas y actividades culturales de todo tipo. 

Want to dine with 180-degree views from the top of one of London’s most recognised skyscrapers? Helix Restaurant is located 39 floors up 30 St Mary Axe (The Gherkin to you and I...), and serves a superb contemporary British menu paired with expertly selected Champagne. You don’t get many culinary experiences like this in London, that’s for sure.

This long-established café on the main street in Leura, the Blue Mountains, has both indoor and outdoor courtyard seating. The vibe is cosy and friendly – just what you want out of a Blue Mountains eatery. The food includes delicious breakfasts (the usual suspects like eggs and mushrooms), great housemade salads and light lunches. In spring, sit in the window so you have a good view of the cherry blossoms that line the street.

El Barrio de las Letras vuelve a sacar sus tesoros a pie de calle, al más puro estilo de otros mercadillos del mundo, desde el mercado de las Pulgas de Saint-Ouen, en París, a Portobello Road, en Londres. Aquí en Madrid, son más de 200 establecimientos comerciales los que abren sus puertas de manera ininterrumpida para mostrar y compartir sus infinitas propuestas.

Mary’s Underground is a restaurant, yes, but it’s also still very much a music venue continuing to pay its respects to the site’s former life as the Basement (Sydney’s home of jazz, soul and world music). In fact, when you walk in the nostalgia is strong, but they’ve moved the stage off to the left-hand side and spread everything out so that every table luxuriates in its own bubble of generous floor space. Four nights a week, you can pick from a smorgasboard of music and acts ranging from jazzy adults-only cabarets to grungy rock and indie artists. On the menu, you'll find OG Mary's burgers and trashy-but-good American diner faire.   

It isn’t summer in L.A. until the first cemetery screening brings hoards of movie-lovers to Hollywood Forever, toting folding chairs, picnic blankets, snack spreads and lots of booze. Each year, Cinespia brings classic cult favorites to the hallowed resting place of Old Hollywood greats—and a couple of off-site screenings, too. For 2023, Cinespia started things off at L.A. State Historic Park and on the grass just outside of the Greek Theatre, but has now settled into a steady lineup of cemetery showings. For each evening at Hollywood Forever Cemetery, pack a picnic (yes, booze is allowed), pose in the photo booth and enjoy DJ sets, dance parties and all sorts of other magical mischief that’d otherwise be strictly forbidden behind the cemetery gates. The outdoor screenings are an L.A. rite of passage, a quintessential summer experience and one of the best film venues in the city. Just be sure to get your ticket early, arrive early, pee early… it’s a popular affair, to say the least.

She’s baaack! After a whirlwind debut tour in 2022, Abbie Chatfield returns with The Trauma Dump Tour – so strap yourself in, because it’s sure to be a wild ride. The TV star, podcaster, radio host, ambassador and entrepreneur is doing a five-city tour that wraps up at the Enmore Theatre in Sydney on May 27 and 28.  So what, exactly, will Chatfield be speaking about on-stage? She'll be sharing stories about her own past relationships, as well as conversing with the crowd. She warns, "it's going to be wild". Chatfield also took to her Instagram to share the news with her followers. She wrote: “TOUR TOUR TOUR!!!!!!!! I’m so excited to be seeing all of your lovely faces again throughout April and May 2023! “This time I’m touring solo, all me baby!! Plus some audience participation bc nothing can top a live nightmare fuel. Last year I was blessed with amazing guests, but this time I’m taking a v scary risk and have decided to chat to you all like we’ve just met in a club bathroom the day after a break up.” Chatfield hosts the highly successful 'It’s A Lot with Abbie Chatfield' podcast on Listnr and the nightly hit radio show 'Hot Nights with Abbie Chatfield' on the Hit Network, is a panelist on The Masked Singer and will soon be seen on Binge as the new Australian host of FBOY Island – a highly controversial TV show that follows three women as they try to find the ‘nice guys’ among a pool of self-proclaimed ‘fboys’ who are on the show to play the game and to win a cash prize.  Sh

Pero cuando Estrella está preparada para tomar su propio camino, Ramona se da cuenta de que, por primera vez, puede hacer algo por sí misma.

With a collective ten Splendours under our belts, the Time Out team knows a thing or two about how to party in the grass. You can read all about this year's rocking line-up here. And below is our foolproof guide for being your best Splendour-self. Bring gumboots and pack an extra coat No one needs to be reminded about last year’s weather at Splendour *shudders*. And thankfully, La Niña is officially over. But, even if the weather is forecast for 25° and sunny, the days might be toasty but the nights can be chilly. Come prepared.  Shower off-peak The queues between 6.30 and 9.30am are bound to be an absolute nightmare. Shower in the middle of the day or super late at night to avoid waiting in the mud, or ditch it all together – but don’t forget deodorant, wipes and dry shampoo. They’re gonna be your new best friends. Get involved with what else Splendour has to offer As well as an awesome line-up, there is a stack of fun, interesting and cool experiences to be had at this year’s Splendour. Get your mind blown at the Science Tent; belly laugh at the Comedy Club; listen to thought-provoking talks and panels the Forum; and start your morning with yoga and have your tarot card read at the Global Village. Plus, this year’s festival also introduces Forum Live Podcasts. Some of the country’s most popular podcasters – including the crew from the Betoota Advocate – will record their programs live in front of everyone. You can check out all the experiences here.

Whether you’ve been living in Switzerland for years, are a new arrival or just visiting, you don’t have to spend much time here to work out that it’s a country blessed with more than its share of stunning landscapes. So, it makes sense to protect all that natural beauty by being as sustainable as possible in day-to-day life. This, of course, includes when you’re travelling around Switzerland on holiday. Thankfully, this is a country where sustainability is often at the forefront of the conversation – as proven by a recent public vote backing a climate bill to cut carbon and become carbon neutral by 2050. It’s now easier than ever to holiday sustainably around Switzerland, and a fantastic way of doing so is by utilising the country’s superb public transport system. Read on for our tips on making your holiday more environmentally friendly and gloriously simple at the same time, all thanks a few simple transport switches.

Lausanne is a glorious place to explore in any season, but summer is a particularly great time of year to visit, thanks to the city’s packed events calendar. These warmer months see a huge range of cultural gatherings and sporting competitions appearing all around Lausanne, including plenty of outdoor events and activities to fully utilise those sweeter temperatures. Whether you’re looking for live music to dance to, museums and galleries to wander, or world-class sporting events to cheer at, Lausanne’s summer schedule has got you covered. Here are some of the upcoming highlights.   Photograph: © Béjart Ballet Lausanne Béjart Ballet LausanneGet your finger firmly on the pulse of contemporary dance at Lausanne’s esteemed ballet company, Béjart Ballet Lausanne. One of the current highlights is a performance of ‘The Other Song of Dance’, a piece composed by Japanese choreographer Yuka Oishi, inspired by her reading of the work of French dancer Maurice Béjart. It promises to be a powerful, expressive and meticulously executed show.Jun 16-21   Fête de la MusiqueWatch Lausanne transform as its streets, parks, churches and bars become live music venues for the day as part of Fête de la Musique.

El Primavera Sound ha anat ampliant i sofisticant la seva oferta gastronòmica amb l'objectiu de demostrar allò que no fa tant semblava una quimera, una batalla perduda: que en un festival de música s'hi pot menjar (molt) bé. El 'lineup' de restauració que presenta Primmmavera, la zona de restaurants del festival, assimila el mateix criteri que el seu equivalent musical, presentant una gran quantitat de tendències i gèneres gastronòmics. I la veritat és que el dinar de festival ja fa temps que va deixar de ser el trist llom amb formatge amb textura de xiclet: aquí n'hi haurà per a tots els gustos. Aleshores, què hi ha per menjar? L'aliança entre Primavera Sound i Verbena Foodie Events ofereix una carta molt extensa on conviuen tradició, noves tendències, proximitat i multiculturalitat. Petit resum del viatge gastronòmic: dels kebabs i falafels de Kebab on Tour a la reinvenció de l'emblema britànic de The Fish and Chips Shop, passant pels onigiris d'Omu, els bowls hawaians de Hula Poke i Poke Si, la cuina libanesa de Makan, la fusió asiàtic-catalana de Casa Xica o les propostes transoceàniques que porten Cor d'Agave i Cal Pastor des de Mèxic, Ceviche 103 i Lúcuma i Camote des de Perú i La Cachapera des de Veneçuela.  Tampoc faltaran les opcions per a intoleràncies alimentàries i vegetarianes, amb punts 100% gluten free com M2 o autèntiques institucions veganes com Rasoterra, i els donuts vegans (i quadrats!) de CUVO. Una hamburguesa? Les de La Porca. O les de Vicio, és clar, e

Since the sad death last week of Time Out founder Tony Elliott, tributes have been pouring in – from Time Out staff past and present all over the world, as well as prominent figures from the arts and urban culture. Now we’re looking for your stories and memories of Tony, to share with his family and the world. We want to hear from anyone who crossed paths with Tony: friends, colleagues, contacts and anyone else whose life was touched by him in the 52 years since he founded Time Out. To take part, please email us with ‘Tony Elliott’ in the subject line, telling us about your most striking memory of Tony. We’re especially interested in stories and anecdotes which are specific to a particular time, place and cultural moment. Please make sure to include some information on who you are, and how and when you met Tony. We’ll be compiling your memories as a condolence book for Tony’s family and friends. We’ll also publish edited highlights online as an oral history, and in a memorial issue of Time Out London magazine. (In that light, please let us know if you’d rather your tribute, or any element of it, was not made public.) To kick things off, here’s Time Out Group CEO Julio Bruno sharing his own memories of Tony. In loving memory of Tony ElliottLast Friday, Time Out’s beloved founder, Tony Elliott, passed away. Tony had been bravely fighting lung cancer for a long time. However, he would not allow that to stop him. It was remarkable to see: he kept looking at the world with those i

Our beautiful city welcomes about 20 million travellers every year and we love sharing our award-winning restaurants and Instagrammable sites with each and every one of them. But out-of-towners sure do have some pretty predictable habits. Here are the things that make them stand out. 1. Choosing to spend Saturday nights in Darling Harbour. 2. Pronouncing Coogee as "Coooogee". 3. Taking arty photos of a bin chicken because you think it's a rare bird.  4. Dining at City Extra. 5. Forgoing sunscreen. 6. Stocking up on opals and Ugg boots. 7. Choosing the outdoor seats on the Manly ferry. 8. Expecting change from a $50 when you’ve bought a round of drinks. 9. Watching street performers in Pitt Street Mall.  10. Not tapping off on the light rail/train/bus. 11. Trying to park in the CBD. 12. Assuming you won’t get a parking fine. 13. Expecting to get coffee after 3pm. 14. Paying to get to the top of Sydney Tower Eye. (Psst... If you buy a drink, the view is free.) 15. Taking a dip in the city fountains. 16. Looking for koalas in Hyde Park. 17. Expecting to take a heap of selfies on the Sydney BridgeClimb. No phones allowed, we're afraid. 18. Assuming it never rains in Sydney.  19. Expecting the bus to show up on time/at all. 20. Missing the last ferry to or from Manly and thinking, “Oh, an Uber can’t cost that much”. 21. Trying to get into the Ivy without ID. 22. Thinking the train goes all the way to Bondi Beach. LOL. They want to make it harder for you to get there. 23

Summer is traditionally a time to zhuzh things up, whether that’s your wardrobe, your home or your garden. So, why not get ahead of the game this year and stock up on all your summer desirables from one place? Simply head to BLICKFANG Basel from April 21-23 and revel in all the artisan goodies on offer in front of you, signalling the start of a shopping spree like no other. If you’ve never visited before, BLICKFANG is a well-established and highly regarded design fair championing independent craft, by showcasing the work of more than 100 talented, hand-picked designers. You’ll find sharply designed fashion, contemporary furniture, one-off jewellery pieces and other accessories, and sleek-yet-functional homeware and kitchenware, all pristinely produced in Europe, some with global influences. To be clear, this is forward-thinking stuff that you’re getting access to. Take, for example, Michael Wyss’s reinterpretation of the Alpine chair, which utilises classic Swiss design and gives it a modern, clean and ergonomically driven twist. Sustainability is also a big focus for BLICKFANG, as can be seen in the fair’s handcrafted jewellery selections.

Incredible scenery, clean air, a good quality of life… Moving to Switzerland has many benefits attached, but what puts most people off is the cost of living in one of the world’s foremost economies. Perhaps getting paid £50,000 to make the move would help? This is what Albinen, in the southern Swiss canton of Valais, is proposing. The gorgeous village is offering families of four people 25,000 Swiss Francs (around £22,300) per adult and 10,000 Swiss Francs (around £8,900) per child to move there, to try and reverse a drastically declining population, caused by people moving away to nearby cities for employment. Sounds appealing, right? Unsurprisingly, there are some conditions attached to this sweet deal. Firstly, the offer is only open to under-45s. Still reading? There’s a bigger catch: you need to be a Swiss citizen with a permit C residence. That can be obtained by living in Switzerland for five years if you’re an EU citizen, but British citizens need to double that number to a whole decade. If you’re still interested, you’ve got to commit to Albinen for the long-term and live in the village for ten years, in a home worth at least 200,000 Swiss Francs (around £178,000). If you take up the offer and move out before the ten years is over, you’ll need to repay that golden gift when you leave. Those who do qualify and do stay can expect to live in a stunningly scenic Swiss village, with snow-capped mountain views at every turn, gloriously clean air, tons of sunshine every yea

Atenció, superfans de 'Ted Lasso'! Aviat, podreu reservar una nit al The Crown & Anchor, el pub favorit de Ted, situat al barri londinenc de Richmond. The Crown & Anchor SÍ que existeix. Bé, en el món real aquest local de l'oest de Londres és un pub de la cadena Fuller's anomenat The Prince's Head, però durant tres nits d'octubre es transformarà en l'alter ego que apareix a 'Ted Lasso' perquè els aficionats tinguin l'oportunitat de viure el somni de l'AFC Richmond. I, atenció, que la nit només val 11 lliures. Fins i tot seràs allotjat virtualment per la Mae, la desvergonyida propietària del pub a la sèrie televisiva.  Photograph: Apple TV+ El recinte estarà decorat amb productes de l'AFC Richmond i els aficionats podran animar els nois de Ted a les projeccions dels partits de l'equip de futbol més estimat de l'oest de Londres. També hi haurà una competició de dards i un karaoke, i podràs desafiar altres jugadors a una partida d'escacs a la taula preferida d'en Ted. The Crown & Anchor servirà un àpat opípar amb la millor teca de gastropub d'Anglaterra. Les places són limitades. Fins a quatre fans tindran l'oportunitat de pernoctar els dies 23, 24 i 25 d'octubre d'enguany. Per tenir l'oportunitat de passar una nit al famós local, pots reservar a AirBnB. Les reserves s'obren el dimarts 21 de març a les 17 h.
