Europe settles down once the summer holidays finish. The crowds thin out, prices drop, and September and October are often the most comfortable months of the year to walk around a city or drive along a coastline.<\/p>\n
And if you are anything like me, that\u2019s exactly the time when you love to travel. I always avoid July and August, when I usually find a place to housesit and work on my projects and plan my fall trip. This year, actually, in about 5 days as I am writing this article, I will be on an epic road trip around Scotland, and I have waited for the fall on purpose. Fewer people around, lower prices, and, well, maybe more unpredictable weather, but I\u2019ll take it 100 times over crowds. Besides, I don\u2019t like the heat, so I welcome cooler and cloudy days, even for my pictures. I am looking for that gloomy atmosphere.<\/p>\n
So I put together my ten favorite places to visit in that time of year, what to see in each one, and how to get there. Let me know in the comments if you agree or want to add anything.<\/p>\n This post may contain affiliate links. If you purchase through them, I may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. Thanks for supporting my small business.<\/p>\n The southwest corner of Ireland, built around the Iveragh Peninsula and the mountains and lakes of Killarney National Park. It is the part of the country most people picture when they think of Ireland, and it lives up to it.<\/p>\n The Ring of Kerry drive<\/a> is the anchor, a loop of about 180 km around the peninsula. You can do it in a long day, but two days lets you actually stop. Tour coaches run counterclockwise from Killarney, and it is easier to go the same direction than to meet one coming at you on a narrow bend.<\/p>\n Killarney National Park sits at the eastern end and deserves a day on its own. Muckross House and its gardens, the ruins of Muckross Abbey, Torc Waterfall, which is a five-minute walk from the car park, and Ross Castle on the shore of Lough Leane. Ladies View gives you the best of the lakes from the road.<\/p>\n The Gap of Dunloe<\/a> is a narrow mountain pass between the Macgillycuddy\u2019s Reeks and the Purple Mountain. You can walk the 11 km through it, or take a jaunting car, the horse and trap that leaves from Kate Kearney\u2019s Cottage at the northern end.<\/p>\n Out on the western tip, the Skellig Ring is a smaller loop off the main road and worth the detour. It takes you to the Kerry Cliffs, the fishing village of Portmagee<\/a>, and across the bridge to Valentia Island<\/a>, where you have Geokaun Mountain, the old slate quarry and a set of fossilized tetrapod footprints on the shore.<\/p>\n Boats to Skellig Michael, the monastic island eleven kilometers offshore, leave from Portmagee. Places are limited, and they book up a long way ahead, so look at the Skellig tour options<\/a> early if this matters to you.<\/p>\n Kenmare, at the southern end of the ring, is a good place to eat and quieter than Killarney. If you have extra days, the Dingle Peninsula sits just north and the Slea Head Drive there is shorter and in some ways better than the Ring of Kerry.<\/p>\n Kerry Airport at Farranfore is small but has flights from Dublin and a few UK cities. Cork is around an hour and a half away by car, Shannon a little under two, and Dublin about three and a half.<\/p>\n You want a car. The roads are narrow, often with stone walls or hedges right at the edge, and the public bus network does not reach most of what you have come to see. My driving in Ireland guide<\/a> covers what surprises people, including the road width and the way distances take longer than the map suggests.<\/p>\n Killarney is the easiest base, with the most places to stay and eat and the national park on the doorstep. Kenmare is smaller and calmer. Staying out on the western end near Portmagee puts you close to the Skellig boats if you have booked one. I have gone through the options in the Ring of Kerry accommodation guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n I visited Ireland in October and drove the Ring of Kerry for the second time and loved it. If you are not comfortable driving at all, you can always book guided tours from Dublin<\/a>.<\/p>\n The stretch of coastline between Ballycastle and Portrush, on the north coast of Northern Ireland. It is short, around 50 km end to end, and packed with things worth stopping for.<\/p>\n The Giant\u2019s Causeway is the reason most people come. Around 40,000 basalt columns, mostly hexagonal, formed by cooling lava roughly 60 million years ago and running down into the sea. It is a UNESCO site. The visitor center has parking, an exhibition and an audio guide, and a shuttle bus goes down to the stones if you would rather not walk the kilometer-long path.<\/p>\n A short drive east is the\u00a0Carrick-a-Rede rope bridg<\/a>e, a 20-meter span about 30 meters above the water, crossing to a small island that salmon fishermen used for centuries. It runs on timed tickets through the National Trust, and the walk from the car park takes about a kilometer.<\/p>\n Dunluce Castle sits on a cliff edge between the two, a sixteenth-century ruin where part of the kitchen reportedly fell into the sea. Ballintoy Harbor is a tiny working harbor at the bottom of a steep winding road. The Dark Hedges, an avenue of beech trees planted in the eighteenth century, is a few minutes inland.<\/p>\n The Old Bushmills Distillery has been licensed since 1608 and runs tours and tastings. For beaches, Whiterocks near Portrush and Portstewart Strand are both wide and easy to walk. Further west, Mussenden Temple sits on the cliff at Downhill Demesne, with views along the whole coast.<\/p>\n Rathlin Island is a short ferry from Ballycastle if you want a half day away from the road, with a seabird colony at the West Light.<\/p>\n The coastal walk between the main sites is worth doing on foot rather than driving from one car park to the next. You see far more of the coastline that way.<\/p>\n Belfast is the closest city, about an hour and a quarter by car. Dublin is around three hours. The route to follow is the A2 Causeway Coastal Road, which runs up the Antrim coast from Belfast through the Glens of Antrim and is a good drive in itself.<\/p>\n Rent a car if you can. If you are picking it up in the Republic and driving north, check the cross-border cover with the rental company first, which I cover in the Dublin car rental guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n Day tours run from both Belfast and Dublin and cover the main sites, which works if you would rather not drive, though the Dublin ones make for a very long day.<\/p>\n For a base, Bushmills or Portrush put you in the middle of everything. Ballycastle is at the eastern end and closest to the Rathlin ferry. Belfast works if you only want one day on the coast.<\/p>\n I housesat first in Stroud, where I had a car and enjoyed exploring the Cotswolds. Then I moved to Oxford for another housesit, where I had a couple of days to explore the city freely before locking myself in and working on these guides while snuggling with the dogs and cats I was looking after.<\/p>\n If you have not heard of it, the Cotswolds is a stretch of limestone hills and villages west of Oxford, roughly two hours from London. People come for the old honey coloured stone houses and the fairy-tale villages, and for the fact that a lot of it looks much the same as it did two hundred years ago.<\/p>\n Start with the villages, but do not try to do all of them. Two or three in a day is plenty, and they are close enough together that you will not feel rushed.<\/p>\n Bibury has Arlington Row, a line of seventeenth-century weavers\u2019 cottages along a stream, and it is probably the most photographed spot in the region. Castle Combe sits in a wooded valley with no modern buildings visible on its main street, which is why film crews keep using it.<\/p>\n Bourton-on-the-Water has the River Windrush running through the middle with low stone footbridges over it, plus a model village built in the 1930s. Stow-on-the-Wold has a large market square and the north door of St Edward\u2019s church, framed by two yew trees. Broadway has a wide main street and a folly tower up on the hill above with views over several counties on a clear day. Chipping Campden was a wool merchants\u2019 town and still has its market hall from 1627.<\/p>\n If you want somewhere quieter, Upper and Lower Slaughter are a twenty-minute walk apart along the water and get a fraction of the visitors that Bourton does.<\/p>\n Blenheim Palace at Woodstock deserves a half day on its own. It is a UNESCO site, Winston Churchill was born there, and Capability Brown laid out the grounds.<\/p>\n For walkers, the Cotswold Way<\/a> runs 164 km from Chipping Campden down to Bath. You do not have to do the whole thing. Plenty of people pick a day section and get a taxi or bus back.<\/p>\n If you don\u2019t feel like driving, many tours run from London<\/a>, and I have put together a guide to the most highly rated ones for your convenience. Link above.<\/p>\n In Oxford, the main sights sit within walking distance of each other. The Bodleian Library and the Radcliffe Camera, Christ Church college with its dining hall, Magdalen with its deer park, and the Ashmolean Museum, which is free to enter. The Covered Market is good for lunch. If the weather holds, you can hire a punt at Magdalen Bridge and take it up the Cherwell, though it takes most people a while to get the hang of the pole.<\/p>\n Trains from London Paddington reach Oxford in about an hour. If you want to go straight into the Cotswolds instead, the same line carries on to Kingham and Moreton-in-Marsh, which is around an hour and thirty-five minutes from Paddington and sits right in the middle of the northern villages.<\/p>\n You will want a car once you are there. The bus links between villages are slow and infrequent, and the walking routes are lovely, but they are walking routes, not transport. Distances are short, twenty minutes or so between most of the villages, so you are not spending your day driving.<\/p>\n Parking is the one thing to plan for. The car parks in Bibury, Bourton and Castle Combe are small and fill up, so going earlier in the day makes the difference.<\/p>\n For a base, Oxford suits you if you want a town around you in the evening with restaurants and a bit of life. Stow-on-the-Wold and Burford are central for the villages. Broadway and Chipping Campden put you in the north near Blenheim and the top of the Cotswold Way.<\/p>\n The mountains, lochs and glens north of Glasgow, running up the west coast and across to the Isle of Skye.<\/p>\n I visited in winter, in February, and the mountains were snow-capped. It was beautiful. As I gear up for my second trip to Scotland this September, I can\u2019t wait to see and photograph the fall colors, with fewer crowds and, hopefully, without spending a fortune. If you want to follow my journey and see real-time updates, follow my YouTube channel, <\/a>my Facebook page<\/a> or subscribe to my newsletter.<\/a><\/p>\n Coming up from the south, Glencoe is the first place that stops you. A glacial valley with the Three Sisters ridge on one side, a visitor center, and walking routes from short viewpoint paths up to full hill days.<\/p>\n Loch Ness is the one everyone knows. Urquhart Castle on its western shore is the best place to actually see the loch, and Fort Augustus at the southern end has a flight of canal locks running down into the water. Inverness sits at the northern end and is the main town of the Highlands.<\/p>\n Eilean Donan Castle at Dornie, where three lochs meet, is on the road to Skye and hard to drive past.<\/p>\n On Skye itself, the main stops are on the northern half of the island. The Old Man of Storr is a rock pinnacle above Portree with a steep path of about an hour and a half return. The Quiraing is a landslip further north with a walking route from a small car park along the ridge. The Fairy Pools at Glenbrittle are a series of clear pools along a river, around forty minutes\u2019 walk from the road. Neist Point Lighthouse is on the western tip and is where most people go for sunset.<\/p>\n Portree is the island\u2019s town, with a row of painted houses around the harbor and most of the restaurants. The same family has lived in Dunvegan Castle for eight centuries. The Talisker distillery at Carbost offers tours. Sligachan, where the road divides, gives you the best view of the Cuillin ridge.<\/p>\n Give Skye at least two nights and preferably three. The island is bigger than it looks and the roads are slow.<\/p>\n If you have longer, the Bealach na B\u00e0 pass over to Applecross, the village of Plockton, and the Glenfinnan viaduct are all within reach.<\/p>\n Inverness Airport is the closest to Skye, about a two-and-a-half-hour drive to Portree. Edinburgh and Glasgow are both around five to five and a half hours, so if you fly into either, plan a stop on the way rather than doing it in one go. The Edinburgh to Isle of Skye guide<\/a> covers the route options, and where to stay in Edinburgh<\/a> has the city end.<\/p>\n Skye is connected by bridge at Kyle of Lochalsh, so no ferry is needed and there is no toll. There is also a ferry from Mallaig to Armadale on the south of the island if you want to arrive one way and leave the other.<\/p>\n A car is close to essential. I always book with Discover Cars, <\/a>mainly because I always find great deals and their full coverage gives me peace of mind.<\/p>\n Much of the Highlands and most of Skye are on single-track roads with passing places, and the etiquette matters. Pull into a passing place on your left, or stop opposite one on your right, to let oncoming traffic through; you can also pull in to let faster traffic overtake. Fuel stations are far apart in the northwest, so fill up when you see one, not when you need one.<\/p>\n The Atlantic coast north of Lisbon, running from Ericeira up past Nazar\u00e9 towards Figueira da Foz. I lived in Nazar\u00e9 for three months and explored the area extensively, mainly in winter. I may go back in the fall next year, but I will definitely avoid summer. It\u2019s one of the most crowded destinations in Portugal for the summer vacations.<\/p>\n Nazar\u00e9 is built on two levels. Down at sea level, you have the wide town beach and the old fishing quarter behind it, with the streets running back from the sand. Then a funicular built in 1889 takes you up the cliff to S\u00edtio, the old village on top.<\/p>\n Up at S\u00edtio, you have the sanctuary of Nossa Senhora da Nazar\u00e9, the Suberco viewpoint looking straight down over the town and the beach, and a walk along the clifftop to the Forte de S\u00e3o Miguel Arcanjo, the small red lighthouse fort. Inside the fort, there is a surfing museum, and from the walls you look down on Praia do Norte, which is the beach where the record-breaking waves come in during the winter.<\/p>\n Those waves exist because of the Nazar\u00e9 Canyon, an underwater canyon about 230 km long that runs out into the Atlantic and funnels swell toward this stretch of coast. It is worth understanding before you look at the water, because it explains why the waves here are so much bigger than anywhere else nearby.<\/p>\n Around Nazar\u00e9, there is a lot within an hour. \u00d3bidos is a walled hilltop town where you can walk the top of the walls, and where they serve ginjinha cherry liqueur in small chocolate cups. Alcoba\u00e7a and Batalha both have very large medieval monasteries, and people go to Alcoba\u00e7a<\/a> for the tombs of Pedro and In\u00eas. Peniche is a fishing port with a fortress and boats out to the Berlenga islands. S\u00e3o Martinho do Porto has a shell-shaped bay with calm water, which is a nice change from the Atlantic surf. Ericeira further south is a protected surf reserve.<\/p>\n There is more in my Nazar\u00e9 guide<\/a> and the wider Portugal coastal towns<\/a> post.<\/p>\n Lisbon airport is about an hour and twenty minutes away by car. Buses run direct from Lisbon to Nazar\u00e9 and take a little over two hours, which is fine if you are staying put in the town, though a car makes everything around it much easier.<\/p>\n Parking in Nazar\u00e9 is easier at the northern end of the seafront than in the middle. If you are staying up in S\u00edtio rather than in the town, remember the funicular is the easy way between the two levels. Walking up is possible but steep.<\/p>\n The Lisbon to Porto road trip<\/a> runs right through this stretch of coast and picks up most of what is listed above.<\/p>\n The southern coast of Portugal, running about 150 km from Sagres in the west across to the Spanish border. The western half has cliffs and rock formations; the eastern half has lagoons and quieter towns.<\/p>\n Lagos is the natural base<\/a> for the western half. Ponta da Piedade, just outside the town, is a set of sandstone cliffs, arches and sea stacks, and you can see it from the clifftop steps or from a boat below. Praia Dona Ana and Praia do Camilo are the two beaches most people go for, both reached by steps down through the rock.<\/p>\n Benagil cave<\/a> is the famous one, a sea cave with a circular opening in the roof. You can access it by boat, kayak or stand-up paddleboard from Benagil or Carvoeiro, and the rules about what boats can do inside have changed in recent years, so check what your operator is offering before you book.<\/p>\n Praia da Marinha nearby is the beach that appears on most postcards of the region. From there the Seven Hanging Valleys trail runs about 6 km along the clifftop to Praia de Vale Centeanes, and it is one of the best coastal walks in Portugal.<\/p>\n I covered the rest in the Algarve beaches<\/a> post.<\/p>\n At the western end, Sagres has a fortress on a windswept headland, and Cape St Vincent a few kilometres on is the southwesternmost point of mainland Europe. The water here is rougher and colder, and the beaches are far emptier.<\/p>\n Heading east, the coast changes. Faro has a walled old town, a cathedral you can climb for the view, and a chapel lined with bones. Behind it is the Ria Formosa, a lagoon and sandbar system that runs for 60 km, with boats out to the barrier islands of Deserta, Farol and Culatra. Olh\u00e3o has the best fish market in the region. Tavira is built around a river with a Roman bridge, and its beach is on an island reached by a short ferry.<\/p>\n Inland, Silves has a red sandstone castle from the Moorish period, and the Monchique hills give you a completely different landscape of cork oaks and eucalyptus with views back down to the coast.<\/p>\n Fly into Faro. It is the only airport in the region, and it is well connected across Europe.<\/p>\n Rent a car. The good beaches are spread along the coast and down side roads, and the buses are built around connecting the main towns rather than getting you to the water. The Faro car rental guide<\/a> covers what to check before you drive off, including the tolls. The A22 motorway that runs the length of the Algarve is electronic toll only, with no booths, so you need to sort out a transponder or a prepaid arrangement with the rental company, or you will get charged fees afterward.<\/p>\n For a base, Lagos suits the western half and has the most life in the evening. Albufeira is central and busy. Tavira is the calmest of the three and better if you want the eastern lagoons. The 7 day Algarve itinerary<\/a> lays out a route if you want one ready-made. Or if you have fewer days, I\u2019ve got you covered too, with my 3-day Lagos Itinerary.<\/a><\/p>\n I have been to the Azores three times for a total of 5 months, and I am in love with these islands. I would completely avoid July and August, although I reckon that traveling in the low season is a bet. The weather is unpredictable and not always friendly, but I still would choose the low season, anyway, for the reasons mentioned above.<\/p>\n Sao Miguel is the largest island of the Azores, an archipelago in the middle of the Atlantic, about two hours from Lisbon by plane. It is green, volcanic and much wilder than most people expect.<\/p>\n There\u2019s a lot to unpack about this destination that doesn\u2019t fit in a 500-word blurb; that is why you should get a general idea here, then head to my\u00a0full guides to the Azores islands\u00a0<\/a>to learn more about planning your trip.<\/p>\n Sete Cidades is the one that ends up on every photograph of the Azores, two lakes sitting inside a volcanic crater, one blue and one green. Most people know the view from Vista do Rei, and from there a short walk takes you to Boca do Inferno, the better of the two viewpoints. The abandoned Monte Palace hotel above the crater is also up there. Down at lake level, you can walk or cycle around the water.<\/p>\n Lagoa do Fogo sits in another crater in the middle of the island, with a steep path down to the shore. It clouds over easily, so if you drive past and it is clear, stop then rather than planning to come back.<\/p>\n The Furnas valley is the geothermal part of the island. The Caldeiras are steaming vents and mud pools in the middle of the village, and by the lake there are pits where cozido, a stew, is buried in the ground and cooked by the earth for hours. Terra Nostra Park has a large thermal pool in a botanical garden; the water is iron-rich and orange, and it stains light-colored swimwear, so bring something you don\u2019t mind. Po\u00e7a da Dona Beija nearby is smaller and open into the evening.<\/p>\n![\"Crowds](\"https:\/\/bunny-wp-pullzone-aoqpl4b4bk.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Nazare-7-900x600.jpg.webp)
