Sure, loads of cities around the world boast amazing public transport networks, but if you’re able to, the best way to really get a sense of a place has gotta be by foot. You can soak up the atmosphere, properly see the architecture and maybe discover some lesser-known little spots along the way.  Some cities are much better sites for a stroll than others, though. To walk us through the options, Compare the Market AU has evaluated the average rainfall, number of walking trails, safety score, cost of public transport and car-free places – among other factors – to see which cities are the most walkable.  And thanks to its pedestrian-friendly city centre, high safety levels and a staggering 1.4 million km of bike trails, Munich was crowned as the winner. In second place it was Milan, which has an even more impressive 1.9 million km worth of bike trails, and in third it was Warsaw, where 74 percent of the population live within 1 km of a car-free space.  Europe walks all over other continents in this list, with Tokyo being the only non-European entry at number six. But given the Japanese capital has a whopping 264 walking trails (the next highest was Helsinki with 116), it’s certainly earned its place.  These are the ten most walkable cities in the world Munich Milan Warsaw Helsinki Paris Tokyo Madrid Oslo Copenhagen Amsterdam Take a hike If you really want to stretch those legs, take a look at our roundups of the best hikes in Europe and across the world.

In media, a list is a powder keg waiting to explode the moment it’s published, especially if it’s called something like ‘the 100 greatest movies ever made’. If you’re passionate about something, you’re going to feel compelled to fiercely defend your favourites and shout down whatever you think is undeserving. If we’re being honest, inflaming public discussion is one of the reasons anyone decides to do a project like this. Debate gets you thinking, and, when reasoned and civil enough, perhaps even rethinking.   But don’t think of this as an attempt to shove our opinions down your throat. We consider this list more of a reference manual: a jumping off point for anyone looking to fill in the gaps of their movie knowledge – or, for more advanced cinephiles, a way to challenge their own preconceived notions. After all, we cover a lot of ground here: over 100 years, multiple countries, and just about every genre imaginable, from massive blockbusters to cult films, comedies to horror, thrillers to action flicks.  Written by Abbey Bender, Dave Calhoun, Phil de Semlyen, Bilge Ebiri, Ian Freer, Stephen Garrett, Tomris Laffly, Joshua Rothkopf, Anna Smith and Matthew Singer Recommended: 🔥 The best films of 2024 (so far)🏆 The 100 greatest horror films ever made📺 The 100 greatest ever TV shows you need to binge🤣 The best funny films of all-time

It’s still early days, but 2024 is already shaping up to be a gala year at the multiplex. Last year was a cracker – thanks to Oppenheimer, Barbie, Past Lives et al – but the next 12 months promise plenty, with Denis Villeneuve delivering a long-awaited Dune sequel, George Miller back at the bullet farm with Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, a resurrection of the Alien franchise, and a tonne of other big-screen fare to get excited about. So far, we’ve been spoiled rotten, with the achingly lovelorn All of Us Strangers, Yorgos Lanthimos’s riotous Poor Things, and Dev Patel’s eye-wateringly violent debut Monkey Man just a few of the good reasons to get to the cinema. So, the criterion for entry: some of these movies came out in the US at the back end of 2023 – Oscars qualification required it – but we’re basing this list on UK release dates to include the best worldwide releases from between January and December. We’ll be updating it with worthy new releases as we go, so keep this one bookmarked.

It isn’t long now until the summer holiday season, and airports are headed into their busiest time of year. But summer or not, plenty of the world’s major hubs are hella busy all year round, whether that’s because they serve as major international hubs or they’re popular spots for a layover (we’re looking at you, Atlanta). OAG Aviation Worldwide has researched which of the world’s airports are the absolute busiest, by examining flight scheduling data to see which airports have the most seats due to depart this month compared to 2023. Claiming first place, with a staggering 5,207,792 seats on the timetable to take off throughout April, it’s Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport. The airport’s total capacity (that’s international and domestic flights) is up three percent from last year, but AHJ has consistently ranked as the busiest hub in the world since 2021.  In second place it’s Dubai International Airport, which has 4,879,128 seats scheduled, and in third is Tokyo International Airport, with 4,460,693 seats on the timetable.

Last year we bid farewell to Succession, Barry and Top Boy, fell hard for Beef, Colin From Accounts and Blue Lights. The next 12 months should help us move on – the potential impact of 2023’s writers’ strike notwithstanding – as early hits like World War II epic Masters of the Air and Mr and Mrs Smith, Prime Video’s intoxicating mix of witty marital drama and zippy espionage caper, are already proving. Ahead are hotly-anticipated new runs of Bridgerton and Squid Game on Netflix, a third season of Industry, a sci-fi prequel in Dune: Prophecy, HBO’s barbed political satire The Regime, Park Chan-wook spy thriller The Sympathizer, and The Franchise, the latest from telly genius Armando Iannucci – among many other potentially binge-worthy offerings. But there’s only so many hours in the day and you can’t spend all of them on the sofa.

Television used to be considered one of the lowest forms of entertainment. It was derided as ‘the idiot box’ and ‘the boob tube’. Edward R Murrow referred to it as ‘the opiate of the masses’, and the phrase ‘I don’t even own a TV’ was considered a major bragging right. And for a long time, it was hard to say that television’s poor reputation was undeserved.  A lot has changed. Television is now the dominant medium in basically all of entertainment, to the degree that the only thing separating movies and TV is the screen you’re watching on. Now, if you don’t own a television – or a laptop or a tablet or a phone – you’re basically left out of the cultural conversation completely. The shift in perception is widely credited to the arrival of The Sopranos, which completely reinvented the notion of what a TV show could do. But that doesn’t mean everything that came before is primordial slurry. While this list of the greatest TV shows ever is dominated by 21st century programs, there are many shows that deserve credit for laying the groundwork for this current golden age. Chiseling them down to a neat top 100 is difficult, so we elected to leave off talk shows, variety shows and sketch comedy, focusing on scripted, episodic dramas, comedies and miniseries.  So don’t touch that dial – these are the greatest TV shows of all-time.

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

What makes an airport great? A good mix of shops, restaurants and bars? A low number of delays? A pretty sweet luxury offering? Low carbon emissions? With so many factors to evaluate, it’s hard to judge which airport is the world’s best – but it’s okay, because we’ve got the Air Transport Awards to tell us! The accolades were announced at a prestigious ceremony in Greece, organised by Hermes, Air Transport News and a bunch of industry bodies like Airports Council International and the International Air Transport Association.  The winners were determined by the votes of more than 4,000 industry executives and Air Transport News readers. For the fourth year in a row, the industry awards named iGA Istanbul Airport as the best in the world. Given that it’s only been open for five years, that is quite impressive.  ‘In order to offer our guests a pleasant travel experience, we set higher standards for ourselves in terms of efficiency, sustainability, innovation and passenger satisfaction,’ said the airport’s acting CEO Selahattin Bilgen, according to Daily Sabah.  Kostas Iastrou, general director and CEO of Air Transport News said the airport’s resilience had helped it rapidly return to pre-pandemic numbers and that the award reflects the dedicated work of all the airport’s staff.  Other winners included Indian flight operator IndiGo, which won best airline, Singaporean operator Scoot which won best budget airline, and International Airlines Group which won eco-airline of the year,
