The best places to go in Europe in autumn range from mountain peaks dusted in their first coating of snow to dazzling beaches where chic beach clubs are still soaking up the last of the summer rays. Things remain balmy across the Greek islands throughout September and October, offering short-haul relief and an extra dose of vitamin D once things get nippier back home. Elsewhere, cooler temperatures offer ideal conditions for final hikes across valleys and over mountains, with hikers taking to the likes of the Dolomites and Romania’s fantastical Transylvania region. Whatever you seek from an escape between September and November, this is where you’ll find the travel editors.
