10 Best Places to Visit in Autumn

As summer gives way to autumn, the weather cools, leaves turn golden and everything looks spectacular. Many places around the world become true spectacles, set ablaze by glorious orange foliage caught in a typical autumnal wind. Autumn, while not as popular or flashy as spring or summer, has an understated, graceful beauty. Fall is an excellent time to travel as there are fewer tourists, cooler temperatures, better deals, and lower airfares. If you’re looking for a place to travel during the colder months, consider visiting one of these ten places to experience the magic of autumn.

 1). Mount Fuji, Japan

Nowhere does the natural beauty of autumn shine brighter than the Land of the Rising Sun. From September to November, cherry and maple trees across Japan turn vivid shades of red, yellow, and amber, transforming the country into a picturesque portrait of autumnal wonder. This is most visible on Mount Fuji, where the warm tones contrast sharply with the calm blue waves of Lake Kawaguchiko. Don’t miss out on visiting the region during the annual Kawaguchiko Autumn Leaves Festival, where you can celebrate the incredible spectacle with music performances, street processions, and delicious food.

As grapes grow full and ripe on the vine and truffles begin sprouting beneath beds of fallen leaves, Tucsonans busy themselves with the harvesting. The air is filled with an intoxicating aroma, and the weather is mostly warm and sunny. If you go at the right time, you can even participate in the local Sagre (harvest festival) or the Vendemmia (grape harvest), which will enable you to sample some brand-new wines while immersing yourself in the local culture.
