Travel in the fall offers unique advantages, making it the ideal season for your next adventure.

PERFECT WEATHER

Fall is a season of comfortable temperatures and breathtaking scenery. 

The sweltering heat of summer fades, replaced by warm days and crisp nights. 

Whether you're hiking through colourful forests, wandering charming city streets, or cruising down the rivers, Fall's mild weather ensures a pleasant experience. 

Plus, the water temperature at the beaches  can still be warm from the heat of the summer months, depending on what time of fall you go. 

September can actually be the perfect time to enjoy a beach destination in Europe where the water temps cool down significantly from winter through spring.

FEWER CROWDS 

I like this one - the decline in the crowds in popular tourist destinations, becomes more serene and accessible in the fall. That's exactly why I chose to take my Escorted AMA River Cruise group to the south of France (which includes a 3 night pre-cruise land in Paris and 3 night post-cruise land in Barcelona) in November. 

Not only is it fall (with all the brilliant colours) there at that time, it's also going to mean shorter lines, less crowded attractions, and a more relaxed pace - ahhh - giving you a chance to immerse yourself fully in the local culture and experiences.

After the hectic pace, throngs of people and craziness from the 2024 Olympics, it'll feel calm. 

LOWER COSTS

As peak season comes to an end, many destinations offer lower prices on flights and accommodations, allowing you to enjoy luxury experiences at a slightly lower cost. 

In general, the cost of travel and everything related to it has gone up considerably, based on the world economics wiht rising fuel, food, staffing, and transportation costs. 

Embrace the magic of this beautiful autumn season and don't delay in planning your adventure for this fall.
