With waters still warm enough to swim, but the crowds of summer dispersed, many travellers prefer to book their holidays in the autumn months. Autumn offers milder weather for those who struggle with the summer sun, vibrant scenery as the foliage changes, and off-peak prices for budget-friendly travelling.
If you’re planning to spend some time abroad in the upcoming months, but haven’t yet picked a destination, we have some great recommendations for you! We’ve compared bookings from this year and last year to bring you an exclusive list of the countries that are currently climbing our ranks!
Canada (122% increase)
With so much land to cover, there’s no doubt you’ll need a rental car to explore all the fantastic things that Canada has to offer! Visiting during the harvest season (September – November) means you’ll be enjoying the country’s cuisines at its freshest, and celebrating with the locals at any of Canada’s thousands of ‘fall’ festivals.
Croatia (140% increase)
Like many of the countries you’ll see on this list, the natural beauty of Croatia’s landscapes is not one to be overlooked. But where this country shines during the autumn months is in the celebration of its culture. Visiting any time between now and December unlocks incredible festival experiences that are centred around Croatian history, art, music and food.
France (142% increase)
France is home to some of the most picturesque driving routes in Europe, and although it might be out of season to see Provence’s famous lavender fields, the Loire Valley and the Route des Grand Alps offer views that are just as breath-taking – especially in autumn!
Montenegro (225% increase)
Montenegro’s diversity of landscapes is perfect for any traveller looking to spend their time in nature. Choose from any of their 5 national parks (covering approximately 10% of Montenegro’s territory) to experience pristine alpine lakes, mountain villages and unbeatable scenic views!
Albania (375% increase)
Whether you’re looking to laze on a sandy beach, or spend your holiday taking in the sights, Albania has it all! Make the most of the country’s history by visiting its UNESCO World Heritage sites like the Historic Centres of Berat and Gjirokastra, or take in Albania’s mesmerising natural beauty by hiking the many trails of the Albanian Alps.
