Wait! Didn’t Summer Just Get Here?
Want to travel this fall yet not sure what’s best in 2022? In this weird and wooly year of travel, finding the right destination and the right accommodations can be a challenge. It’s a sold-out year in a lot of destinations. Don’t let your travel plans fall apart. Read on for some bright ideas!
An Incredible Time For Your European Journey
Europe is the quintessential destination for a summer holiday – who doesn’t love a sunny weekend on the French Riviera or a clifftop villa in the Greek islands? Yet for all its summer charms, Europe has just as much to offer in the autumn months. We love it! Don’t tell summer, fall is our favorite time of year in Europe.
In Italy, the fall season means a retreat from the coast. Emphasis shifts to the inland treasures the country offers. Up in the Tuscan hills, autumn is harvest time, a period of great joy and celebration for all. Never are the fresh flavors of Tuscany more pronounced than in September and October. When truffles, chestnuts, and artichokes are at their peak of quality. You can also participate in the harvest efforts for wine (early autumn) or olives (late autumn), an experience that will have you feeling like a Tuscan yourself!
Italy – It’s Not Just for Summer
It’s a more pleasant time for exploring Italy’s cities as well. The strong summer heat that blankets Rome has lessened, making it easier to tick its many sights off your list. The galleries of Florence are plenty comfortable, and a day on the canals of Venice has no reason to end.
Other Parts of Europe are Fab Fall Choices Too
In countries such as Germany, Austria, and the Czech Republic, autumn sees a confluence of beautiful scenery with fantastic festivals. The Bavarian Alps in southern Germany are the perfect place to enjoy the changing colors, with dazzling red and gold leaves blanketing the hills. In fact, the temperature for hiking is perfect: cool enough to stay comfortable, and warm enough to enjoy a full day outdoors. Of course, Oktoberfest is a big-time event for locals and visitors alike, with more than six million people attending the festival every year.
Neighbouring Austria has an endless collection of charming hill towns, such as Hallstatt, whose altitude ensures plenty of sunshine well into autumn. Indeed many people find Prague at its very best in early fall, as the trees along the river change color and the heavier Czech foods become more suitable for the cooler weather. This is just the tip of the seasonal iceberg – we’re full of ideas, and we can’t wait to share them with you!
Thanksgiving Holiday: Record-Breaking Potential
Fall for Your Own Backyard – North America
For American travelers, Thanksgiving represents an important time to get together with family. It’s also the perfect opportunity for a quick getaway to celebrate the holiday. Many properties have special rates and packages for Thanksgiving guests, with celebratory dinners that take all the work out of your hands. Of course, as with any public holiday, it’s critical to book early – in fact, now is the time to start making those plans, especially with the travel frenzy we’re currently in.
North, Sout, East, or West?
On the US west coast, the coastlines of California, Oregon, and Washington boast some of the most stunning landscapes in the world. Beaches, vineyards, mountains, and parks make the region irresistible during the fall months. The real star of the US autumn show is the East Coast area. Up and down the coast places to see abound. There are stunning coastlines, forests, mountains, and incredible lakes. Even some cool glamping spots exist. No matter where you choose to travel in the East, locals beam with pride and love for its stunning fall foliage, and they’re happy to share it with you in 2022 and beyond!
There’s even a reason to visit the north for your fall escape. While most ski resorts wait until just after Thanksgiving to open the slopes, there’s plenty to enjoy with a visit to a town such as Aspen or Jackson Hole. Activities are plentiful, and the scenery alone is worth the trip.
In the hospitable South, discover the peaks of the Blue Ridge Mountains or the heart of Texas Hill Country. The transformation into a kaleidoscope of changing color takes place from late September through November. Additionally, the region usually has fewer crowds, crisp autumn, air, and an abundance of seasonal wildlife to enthrall you.
Lest we not forget, Hawaii can be marvelous in autumn, and a great long weekend if you live on the west coast. Especially when you compare the costs over Thanksgiving to those over Christmas! You may not experience fall foliage, yet you’ll be hard-pressed to find any state with lovelier weather at that stage in the calendar.
