Where to travel in autumn

29 June 2026

Autumn is a season that feels made for travel, with softer light, comfortable temperatures, and a sense of places settling into their most enjoyable rhythm. Across Europe, destinations like Portugal, Greece, and Spain ease into shoulder season, while North Africa and the USA offer ideal conditions for exploring without the peak-season intensity. Further afield, safari season begins in South Africa, Argentina moves into spring, and islands like the Seychelles are calm and inviting.

September's sweet spot

In September, summer crowds begin to thin across southern Europe, temperatures soften and landscapes settle into a more relaxed rhythm.

Touring conditions become far more comfortable after the intensity of high summer in North Africa, while outdoor exploration remains in full swing across much of North America.

If you’re wondering where to travel in September, this is when you can explore popular destinations such as Portugal and Vietnam without the intensity of peak summer.

Spring brings colour and energy across the Southern Hemisphere, while along parts of the Mediterranean like Spain, you can still enjoy warm days without high season crowds.
