Where to travel in autumn
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. As the season deepens, autumn colours arrive in Japan, and destinations across Asia and the Gulf offer reliable warmth, making it easy to blend culture, coastline, and sunshine in one trip.
