The hugely underrated foodie seaside town that is one of the best day trips from London
Everyone wants something different out of a day trip. There are the people that just want to lie horizontal on the beach for hours, the ones who want to stop by as many historic sites as possible, and the ones who will spend all their time collecting trinkets from indie shops and galleries. Then, there are the people that go to new places with just one thing on the agenda: good food. Of Time Out's 20 best places for a day trip from London in 2025, there's one place that stands out when it comes to outstanding bars and restaurants to rival those here in the capital. It's... Deal! And you can get there from St Pancras in just one hour and 20 minutes. In Time Out's guide to the town's best bits, travel writer and Deal local Kate Wicks said: 'Along the award-winning High Street, you'll find a wealth of independent shops, bars, and restaurants, but it's Deal's sedate (yet uplifting) atmosphere that remains its biggest draw. Ten miles from Dover, this is a town beside the sea, rather than a seaside town (for kiss-me-quick amusements, head to Margate): it's creative, classy and also happens to be one of the UK's top hidden foodie destinations.' Arrive hungry – Deal is full to the brim with exceptional grub. So much, in fact, that it's Time Out's favourite foodie getaway in the country. There's the classic fish 'n chips from Middle Street Fish Bar, the crab doughnuts at The Rose hotel, the French dishes at Cherub's, Japanese izakaya at The Blue Pelican, the organic wines at Le Pinardier wine bar, the swanky lunch at 81 Beach Street and the pig's head and haggis terrine at Frog & Scot. But there's only so much eating and drinking you can do. Kate also recommends wandering around the historic Deal Castle, filling your boots at Deal Town Market, seeing some art at Linden Hall Studio and spinning vinyl at Smuggler's Records. Make sure to go down to the seafront too, and look at for a grey seal or admire Deal's historic Victorian pier (which is getting a £1 million facelift next year).

The South Asian island nation now offering visa-free access to 40 countries
At Time Out, we love travelling – who knew, right? – but with ever-increasing ticket prices, accommodation costs, tourist taxes and visa fees, the whole shabang can be so damn pricey. Well, not if you're a UK citizen, or one of the other 39 lucky countries which Sri Lanka has just granted visa-free access to. In a bid to boost tourism, 33 new countries have been added to the list of places from which travellers can enter, paying no fee to do so. As it stands, UK travellers pay $50 entry for a 30-day visa, which is around £37.50. It's not loads, but it's also not an insignificant amount to have back in your pocket for sightseeing. Isn't Sri Lanka already a wildly popular tourist destination? Well, yes. In fact, 2,053,465 people travelled to Sri Lanka in 2024, according to the Sri Lanka Tourism Department Authority. And it's not hard to see why. Sri Lanka's location in the Indian Ocean means it's blessed with a tropical climate, lush forests and jaw-droppingly beautiful tea plantations, plus all the sites of ancient history, and, of course, some seriously incredible beaches. Arguambay is the place to head for surfing, but make sure you book onto some dolphin or whale-watching, too. Hungry? Pettah and Galle Face Green are the best places to head for street food. There's more information in our travel guide here. Tourism took a hit back in 2019 after six terror attacks took place on Easter Sunday, and then of course, there was the global impact of the pandemic. However, despite this wavering of fees projected to cost the country around £50 million, officials are confident the difference will be made up by steadily increasing tourist numbers. Foreign Minister Vijitha Herath said that the tourism industry is 'steadily progressing day by day,' and that the country has 'stabilised [its] economy, and through policy changes in tourism, we aim to ensure steady growth in arrivals,' according to the Independent. China, India, Indonesia, Russia, Thailand, Malaysia and Japan have had this privilege since September 2024 (following a trial phase in 2023), but there's no confirmation of when this will be in place for the new 33 countries – which, along with the UK, includes the US, France, Italy, New Zealand, Canada, and Spain. Read on for a link to the full list. It's also likely that travellers will still need to apply for Electronic Travel Authorisation, but that process is free of charge. Stay tuned for updates on the official launch.

A study just named this European nation the world's funniest country
Are you a quick wit or a master of irony? Have you got good craic or enough comedic timing to get a laugh even out of the cringiest dad jokes? Chances are that you're a funny person. Humour is both universal and incredibly local. It varies enormously between generations, communities and across cultures, but you can bet every nation has its own comedic identity – even if that means not really having one at all. But, which nation is the funniest? Well, Remitly asked more than 6,000 people from 30 different countries to fill out the Humour Styles Questionnaire, which is a study developed back in 2003 by a guy called Rod Martin. It essentially helps researchers and psychologists understand how humour is used by different people in their day-to-day, not just if they're funny but also how they're funny. Recommended: The best comedy movies of all time, according to Time Out. So, was it the Brits, with their dry use of irony, or the Irish, famous for their good craic, who claimed the crown? The answer is neither – the title of the funniest country in the world was actually awarded to (slapstick drum roll, please) ... Czechia (aka the Czech Republic). Scoring 72.33 out of 100, Czechs apparently excel at self-defeating humour and also, according to the study, rank well for aggressive humour (this includes jokes that come at another person's expense, such as sarcasm or ridicule). Portugal came second with a score of 71.42. The Portuguese are characterised by affiliative humour – that's the kind of funny which is warm and helps people bond – and in a close third place was Ireland, which scored 71.18. These are the world's 20 funniest countries, according to Remitly Czech Republic Portugal Ireland Belgium Chile Greece Australia Poland Denmark Hungary Switzerland Netherlands France Mexico Austria Estonia Canada UK South Africa Norway Did you see that these are officially the best islands in the world to visit in 2025? Plus: The Italian city was crowned Europe's best by thousands of travellers.
