Fall Travel in Europe: Our Honest Thoughts and What to Expect

This episode is all about fall travel in Europe. We recorded it after visiting different regions during September, October and November, and we go through the places that work well, the ones that surprised us and the parts of fall travel people don’t always talk about. It’s a straightforward breakdown of weather, crowds, food, festivals and what fall actually feels like across Europe.

Episode Summary

Fall in Europe sounds dreamy, but the reality depends on where you go. In this episode we talk about our own fall trips, the destinations that felt perfect and the ones that were quieter, colder or rainier than expected. We share what worked, what didn’t and the simple things that make fall one of the easier seasons to travel in if you plan around weather and daylight.

We also answer some of the questions we get the most about fall travel: how early it gets dark, whether beach trips are still possible, which countries feel full of festivals and which ones slow down. It’s an honest, useful look at a season that can be great if you choose the right places.
