Top 10 Must-See Food Trucks Around the Globe

Over the last decade, the culinary landscape of cities all over the world has been transformed by a new kind of street food purveyor: gourmet food trucks. Found on city streets from London to La Paz, these plates are served at street prices – and with no booking or dress code required. They cater to foodies who are more interested in taste than the formal trappings of restaurant life. Fun, local, and affordable, they are also an easy way for urbanites to sample delicacies from the other side of the world, and for visitors to engage in a city’s food scene.

Discover Phuket Town: The Cultural Heart of Thailand’s Island Paradise

Thanks to its strategic southern Thailand location and rich natural bounty, Phuket’s backstory is a fascinating, multifaceted one. Europeans (Dutch, Portuguese, French, and British) began to land on the Andaman Coast’s largest island from the 16th century, but the greatest group of international arrivals were the Chinese, who flocked here to stake their fortunes on the 19th-century tin-mining boom.

Top Canadian Cities Loved by Readers in 2025

Canada’s cities are modern metropolises, but locals (and visitors) love that even in the heart of urban living, you’re never too far from nature. The romantic, 55-acre Butchart Gardens are just outside Victoria. In Montreal, cyclists can pedal along hundreds of miles of dedicated paths. Readers who voted these two cities among the best in Canada made note of both features. Each year in our World’s Best Awards survey, we ask our readers to rate their travel experiences with hotels, resorts, cities, islands, cruise lines, spas, airlines, and more. Readers rated cities on their sights/landmarks, culture, food, friendliness, shopping, and overall value. The urban centers that topped the list are very different—Toronto, No. 5, is an unmistakably modern city, while Quebec City has a Parisian feel, with narrow cobblestone streets and European-influenced architecture. It’s been on the World’s Best Cities list for more than a decade, thanks in part to its friendly locals who don’t laugh at tourists’ attempts to resurrect their high-school-level French.But in addition to natural resources, all these winners offer a wealth of experiences for visitors, not to mention dynamic food scenes. Toronto (or the City of Neighborhoods) is especially diverse, featuring Greektowns, Chinatowns, a Koreatown, and even a Little Portugal. Whether you’re close to the border and looking for a weekend getaway, visiting from the far reaches of the world, or a Canadian eager for a staycation, this list highlights the cities that clearly deserve a spot on your travel bucket list.

Weary of the politics and stresses of Ancient Rome, Emperor Tiberius fled to Capri, where he spent his last decade in sumptuous villas enjoying a secluded island life. Two millennia later, most of us can relate to the emperor. We also seek refuge from our daily routine at beach resorts — if only for a week, rather than 10 years. And while Tiberius had to first build himself a dozen palatial retreats, today’s beachgoers don’t need to do any heavy lifting.
