Autumn can, arguably, be the most beautiful time of year with all of the warm orange, red, brown and yellow colours abundant everywhere, crisp cool air and an excellent excuse to drink hot chocolate by a fire. Autumn can also be an excellent time to travel with many locations typically having their busy season in either summer or winter, depending on location type, so things might be a bit quieter. Here are 10 beautiful places to travel in autumn:
1. New England, USA, with its mountains and gorgeous fall foliage, this whole area offers excellent fall travel options.
2. Burgundy, France, revels in the buzz of wine country harvesting and has beautiful autumn landscapes.
3. San Francisco, California, USA, actually is fantastic in the autumn with less fog, fewer crowds and excellent weather.
4. Patagonia, Chile, late autumn offers fewer crowds, better chances of enjoying wildlife, good travel deals and avoids harsh winds.
5. New Forest, UK, offers stunning autumn colours in the pasture lands, heaths and forests.
6. Alba, Italy, comes alive with the White Truffle Festival in the lovely town of Piedmont.
7. Bali, Indonesia, is excellent for autumn exploration with lovely weather, reduced crowds and a last dose of fun in the sun.
