Autumn is just around the corner, and many tourists who didn’t have time or didn’t want to go on vacation during the hot summer are starting to prepare for their autumn trips.
Experts from the world’s largest travel publishing house, Lonely Planet, have selected the best destinations in Europe to visit in the fall of 2025, explaining why they are particularly attractive during this time of year.
“The beauty of autumn travel in Europe lies in the variety of experiences on offer. Head to the beaches of the sunny southern islands, stroll through the autumn-colored forests, or explore the streets of major cities – all without the summer crowds. Autumn also brings some of the continent’s most vibrant flavors, with harvest-season delicacies appearing in markets and menus, whether in rustic Italian trattorias or upscale Scandinavian restaurants. In short, you can’t go wrong,” the authors of the ranking intriguingly stated.
