You are in luck if you were unable to take a vacation during the summer but are still interested in going somewhere. The number of tourists visiting destinations such as Hawaii, North Carolina, and Europe is decreasing, which in turn causes costs to fall. Even if the temperatures are likely to phrazle be somewhat lower, it is still possible to discover beaches with pleasant weather for spending time outside. Do you celebrate Halloween, Oktoberfest, or fall foliage during the month of October? There are locations here where one might go to enjoy such yearly festivities.

October is the month that marks the culmination of Kenya's great migration, and Istanbul commemorates the autumn season with an art festival. We offer a few suggestions for an autumn trip that you might consider, regardless of whether you like sunny sunlight or cool fall weather.

The Berkshires, in the State of Massachusetts

Farms, lakes, charming villages, rolling hills, and gorgeous autumn foliage may be found in the Berkshires area of western Massachusetts, which is about midway between New York City and Boston. This region is known for its colorful fall foliage, which typically begins to appear around October. You may reach the peace and quiet of the highlands after a picturesque journey of around three hours from either city. The fresh air in the mountains is an invitation to spend time outside hiking and looking at the leaves, on the lake kayaking or fishing, or in the town exploring antique stores. Relax in Lenox at the Victorian-inspired Apple Tree Inn or the luxurious Miraval Berkshires Resort & Spa. Both are located in Lenox. The Wheatleigh, an opulent inn that is listed on the National Register of Historic Sites, and The Lenox Collection, which is comprised of three different inns, are also alternative possibilities.

River Cruise on the Danube

You will have the opportunity to get into the atmosphere of Oktoberfest in Vienna and Dürnstein, Austria, and then continue the celebration in Vilshofen, Germany, with Bavarian folk music, dancing, pretzels, and beer when the cruise arrives at its final stop. The Magna on the Danube trip departs from Budapest and travels through the breathtaking Wachau Valley as well as the Danube Bend, making stops in the picturesque cities that are located along the river. The roomy AmaMagna, which is twice as wide as conventional river ships, has the capacity to host two hundred passengers in its large suites. Also, the ship has a wellness studio, a number of dining venues, and a diverse selection of excursions and activities.

The Outer Banks, in the state of North Carolina

The summer beach crowds have dispersed, prices have dropped, and North Carolina's Outer Banks municipalities are still experiencing excellent weather. It's the perfect time to go fishing and enjoy some deliciously fresh seafood. Attend Oyster Week, which takes place from October 10-16, the Outer Banks Seafood Festival, which takes place on October 15, the Duck Jazz Festival, or one of the many other events that take place throughout the fall season. Stay on the Cape Hatteras National Seashore at the Hotel on Pamlico Sound or in town at the beachside Sanderling Resort. Both are located in the town of Hatteras. Ocracoke Harbour Hotel, which is located in the same region, offers guests views of Silver Lake.

Savannah, Georgia

Visitors and locals alike like the city of Savannah because of its beautifully manicured public squares, Spanish moss, and friendly Southern hospitality. These days, people are particularly interested in the city's historic riverside district. The neighborhood is a good illustration of Savannah's progress since it has a power plant that was built in 1912 and was recently repaired; it is currently the center of a vibrant entertainment attraction. Along the riverwalk in the Plant Riverside Area can now be found a variety of restaurants, clubs, shops, and cafes. A contemporary hotel just a few steps away, named for Alida Harper Fowlkes, an early 20th-century Savannah entrepreneur and preservationist, The Alida welcomes guests to its comfortable rooms, restaurants, and The Lost Square, a rooftop lounge offering stunning views along with cocktails and light bites. Alida Harper Fowlkes was instrumental in the city's preservation efforts.

Marbella, Spain

Marbella, which can be found on the Coast del Sol in southern Spain, maintains its balmy climate well into October, with sunny days and temperatures in the seventies. The more than 26 kilometers of coastline, marinas, hotels, restaurants, and stores all combine to make this a popular tourist destination, particularly in the summer. Archaeological sites may be found in Marbella, a city that was originally settled by the Romans. There is also a historic district in the city with structures that date back to the 16th and 17th centuries. There are a variety of places to stay, from opulent resorts to simple inns. The Club Med Magna Marbella is one of the newer hotels that has sprung up in Marbella. It is located at the base of the Sierra Blanca Mountains and has views of the Mediterranean. This family-friendly resort with 485 rooms and four tridents (four stars) has five pools, a splash area that is suitable for children, and the Club Med Spa.
