🇲🇽 Check out the best things to do in Mexico Catch screenings as well as live events at the University of Guadalajara. Plan your trip The Guadalajara International Film Festival, the most important celebration of independent cinema in Latin America, happens in March. An evening here starts late and ends early: feast on flame-licked seafood at Veneno, sink a mezcal at Pare de Sufrir and let loose on the dancefloor at Bar Americas. For more art, check out Gamma and Paramo before heading to vibey Chapultepec Avenue to browse its weekend handicrafts market. The perfect day Browse contemporary art in Tiro Al Blanco before tucking into chilaquiles and coffee in its courtyard café, Modo. Creative locals sit with their laptops in any number of sleek cafés (try Café Correcto or Lluvia) and sip local tequila in dive bars on Chapultepec Avenue long into the night. The plaza around neo-gothic Templo Expiatorio del Santísimo is prime for people-watching at any time of the day thanks to its many food carts and street performers. Located right next to 500-year-old El Centro, it’s an edgy blend of art deco and neoclassical mansions with artists’ squats and warehouses containing some of the city’s best music venues – shout out to Segundo Piso Music and Bar Americas: Latin America’s answer to Berghain. It may be little explored by foreigners, but Guadalajara is known by many Mexicans as the country’s cultural capital – and right now, Colonia Americana is the epicentre of its underground scene.

Stay in the loop: sign up to our free Time Out Travel newsletter for the latest travel news and the best stuff happening across the world. These are the world’s coolest neighbourhoods right now. They’re places that mix up the best of the old and new schools. They’re great areas for people to live, visit and stay. They’re distinctive districts that you can walk across in half an hour or less, but could spend a whole day or more exploring.
They’re areas with accessible, cutting-edge culture and nightlife brilliant and affordable food and drink lively street life and big community vibes. But the neighbourhoods we’ve featured below are, simply put, incredible places to be right now. Of course, ‘cool’ is probably the most subjective quality going. And for the fifth year running, we combined their views with expert input from our global network of local editors and writers, to compile our fifth annual ranking of the world’s coolest neighbourhoods. As always, this year we asked them (among other things) about the coolest spots in their city right now. RECOMMENDED: The 33 coolest streets in the worldĮvery year, we canvas thousands of city-dwellers around the world in our Time Out Index survey. All of this has led to districts looking very different than they did just a few years ago – and becoming better places for locals and travellers alike. In others, it’s meant tackling problems like overtourism, inequality and air pollution. In some cases that’s meant overhauling street space: less driving, more walking, cycling and hanging out. City-dwellers have quit their corporate jobs to finally follow their joy, whether it’s opening that corner café or much-needed local LGBTQ+ bar, or just spending more time living slowly and spending more time (and money) in their local area.Īt the same time, local officials the world over have been re-establishing their neighbourhoods as places for people. But there’s also been a whole wave of new businesses opening, driven not just by increased footfall outside city centres, but also by the ‘great resignation’. It’s true that much-loved local shops, restaurants, bars and creative spaces have, sadly, shuttered for good.
And in many of the world’s greatest cities, the result has been a full-blown neighbourhood renaissance. Although we haven’t been able to travel the world as freely as we once did, billions of us have been spending more time than ever closer to home. It’s been a rough few years for the world at large – but in many ways, a fantastic one for neighbourhoods.
