Time Out has dropped its list of the coolest neighborhoods around the globe for 2024, and guess what? Bali made it into the top 10!

According to CNN on Tuesday (Oct 1, 2024), visiting iconic landmarks in cities is cool and all, but there’s something magical about stumbling upon a neighborhood with chill coffee spots, quaint bookstores, and fun restaurants.

That’s pretty much the vibe behind Time Out’s list of the “coolest neighborhoods in the world.” While the most famous spots are always packed with tourists, these lesser-known areas let visitors feel like a local.

The neighborhoods that made Time Out’s list might not be the biggest or most famous parts of a city, but they’re worth checking out for their culture, community vibe, nightlife, food, and drink scenes.

To rank the neighborhoods in 2024, Time Out’s network of global editors and writers gave their top picks, which were then judged based on stuff like “local flavor.”

Notre-Dame du Mont in Marseille it’s known for its street art and buzzing nightlife. Locals love how everyone there seems to know and help each other, according to a local restaurant owner.

Mers Sultan in Casablanca, Morocco, took the second spot, with its cool, authentic, and artistic charm (“nothing too trendy or pretentious,” as Time Out put it).

Meanwhile, in third place, Pererenan in Bali, Indonesia, is described as having “clean beaches, cozy cafes, quirky shops, and a relaxed, quiet vibe free from all the noise and chaos.”

Here are the top 10 coolest neighborhoods in the world for 2024:

  • Notre-Dame du Mont, Marseille, France
  • Mers Sultan, Casablanca, Morocco
  • Pererenan, Bali, Indonesia
  • Seongsu-dong, Seoul, South Korea
