The Best Autumn Holiday Destinations

Top Autumn Holiday Destinations

From Mexican adventures and snowy ski breaks, to festivals and Christmas markets, find out the best autumn holiday destinations.

The autumn. What a drag! It always feels so long doesn’t it? The countdown to Christmas is on, but with that comes dark mornings, bleak weather and a spell of mid-autumn misery.

So what better time to jet off somewhere new? If you book now at least you’ll have something to look forward to, and it’ll fill the gap nicely between now and Christmas. So what are the best autumn holiday destinations? Here are a few of my top suggestions…

Berlin

While there are plenty of Christmas markets popping up all over the UK, it’s just not the same as heading abroad for a more authentic celebratory experience. Drink bucket loads of mulled wine, try to stay upright on the ice rink and shop for handmade jewellery and Christmas gifts. Berlin is one of the top cities for the true festive fix! With over 50 different markets scattered across the city, you’ll want a few days to really explore it.
