Locals say this is the world’s top city for culture
The City of Light is a hub for cultural experiences
Street in Paris, France

Time Out recently surveyed 18,500 city-dwellers about the cultural life in their hometowns, asking about everything from affordability to quality of art, music, and architecture. The results, combined with votes from a panel of experts, reveal the world's top cities for culture, and Paris, France took the number one spot.

An overwhelming 96% of Parisians rated their city’s cultural offerings as either “good” or “amazing,” and Time Out’s expert panel gave the City of Light one of the highest numbers of votes overall. Paris is home to the world’s most-visited museum, the Louvre, where icons like the Mona Lisa and Venus de Milo draw millions of visitors annually. The city also boasts a deep bench of cultural heavyweights like the Pompidou Centre, Palais de Tokyo, and Philarmonie de Paris, where the Orchestre de Paris performs.

Starbucks around the world: Discover the most Instagram-worthy views
Visit for the views, not just for the coffee
Starbucks in Rome

On a surface level, coffee lovers visit Starbucks locations across the world to grab a delicious cup of joe while on the go. Yet, the Starbucks experience goes so much deeper than a place to grab something to fuel a caffeine addiction. Whether it's sharing a moment, catching up with friends while sipping a latte, or treating yourself to a specialty espresso drink after a long, hard day, a Starbucks run holds a more profound significance in the lives of many coffee drinkers.

If you're both a coffee lover and an avid traveler, like I am, every visit to a new Starbucks location serves as a new adventure. I recently visited the Starbucks located in the Al Seef area of Old Dubai, and it was a unique experience. Sitting on the patio and watching a mixture of locals and tourists pass by through the streets of Old Dubai made me realize the value of a cup of coffee (beyond its incredible taste). The beauty of coffee is that it connects us even on opposite ends of the world.

The Philippines is officially joining the growing list of Asian countries welcoming remote workers with open arms. Following in the footsteps of Japan, Thailand, and South Korea, the country has announced a new digital nomad visa aimed at attracting global talent (and their spending power) by making it easier for them to live and work legally in the Philippines.

On April 28, 2025, Philippine President Bongbong Marcos confirmed the development of the new visa through Executive Order No. 86. In the official government statement, Marcos emphasized the economic potential of remote workers, stating that the visa aims "to further boost tourism and the economy" by creating a legal framework to accommodate foreign nationals engaged in remote work for overseas employers or clients.
