Autumn Escapes This October

The office feels heavier when the skies turn grey. The commute is colder, and the days shorter. You scroll past other people’s travel photos and think: “I wish I was there.”

But what if this October, you actually were?

Autumn is the perfect sweet spot to travel; the crowds have gone home, flights are kinder on your pocket, and cities put on their most magical show. If you’ve been waiting for a sign to escape, this is it. Here are five places you have to see this fall:

Iceland; Fire & Ice in Autumn
October means fewer crowds and better chances to catch the Northern Lights. Picture black-sand beaches, hot springs, waterfalls framed by autumn leaves — Iceland feels like another planet.

Prague; Step into a storybook.
In October, Prague’s medieval skyline glows under golden leaves. Charles Bridge is calm, and cozy cafés invite you in for mulled wine. The Signal Festival lights up the city — literally. Magical and perfect for first-timers.

Austria; Wine, Alpine Glow & Good Music
Vienna’s grand coffee houses and opera nights feel coziest in autumn. Beyond the city, vineyards in Wachau and Styria are in harvest mode. The Alps turn into a canvas of gold and orange, minus the ski-season crowds.

Lisbon; Sunshine Without Summer Crowds
Still chasing the sun? It’ll be in Lisbon. You can get warm days and pastel streets, all without summer chaos. End the day watching sunsets from hilltop miradouros, seafood in hand.

Berlin; Lights
Berlin is alive in autumn. The Festival of Lights transforms landmarks into art, Tiergarten park bursts with colour, and Oktoberfest keeps spirits high. Oh, you can add museums, food markets, and buzzing nightlife.
