Have you already planned where are you going to spend your autumn vacations? Maybe to go somewhere where it is still hot and sunny? But if you are alredy tired of sun then we offer you to take a tour around Europe or Asia. Have a look what we have on offer for you today!
1. Paris, France
Air temperature: 14-20 °C.
Visa: Schengen.
Cost of living: from 26$ per night.
October in Paris is rich in events. First, in the culinary capital a large gastronomic event is held. It is called Week of Taste. During it, there are tastings of French food, master classes and thematic days: holidays of fur coat, spices, cider and fish. The week ends with a holiday of chestnuts, which is celebrated throughout the country.
If you go to Paris primarily for taste, put a separate line in the budget for this. In fact you can have a bite paying 10 euros, but a full lunch or dinner will cost 20 euros or more.
Also in October, the festival “White Night” takes place here. The festival program includes exhibitions, performances and light shows on the streets of the city. A contemporary art fair and Comic Con are held also.
2. Perugia, Italy
Air temperature: 17-22 °C.
Visa: Schengen.
Cost of living: from 43-45$ per night.
Another grand culinary feast takes place in Italian Perugia. The period from October 13 to 22 is the time of the Eurochocolate festival, when sweets and chocolate from different countries come to the city.
The program is rich: show, making sculptures from chocolate, festivities, and, of course, fairs and tastings, where you can try chocolate products of all kinds. If you decide to visit the holiday, take more loose trousers: they will surely come in handy.
3. Dublin, Ireland
Air temperature: 10-17 °C.
Water temperature: 13 °C.
Visa: Irish or British.
Cost of living: from 26$ per night.
Dublin is another European destination, worthy of attention in October. In the first half of the month in the Irish capital the annual theater festival is held, and towards the end of the month – the festival of Bram Stoker, dedicated to the creator of the gothic novel Dracula. Of course, at this time the city is filled with vampires and vampire atmosphere, on different venues thematic performances are held, film screenings and parties – the very same thing before Halloween.
From Dublin, you can also go north to Belfast, where an international art festival takes place almost all month long, or to the south, to Cork, where in the last days of October a traditional jazz festival will be held.
4. Delhi, India
Air temperature: 30-33 °C.
Visa: Indian, you can get it online.
Cost of living: from 5$ per night.
Bright (literally) impressions are provided to those who will go to India in the second half of October. At this time throughout the country the main local holiday – Diwali is celebrated.
Celebrations last almost a week, this year they will be held from 16 to 21 October. At this time, the Indians are having fun, exchanging presents and performing a number of beautiful rituals, the key of which is the festival of lights. It will be held on October 19.
Do you have a dream to see how the city is filled with colors, lights and fireworks? Then go to Delhi. Although celebrations will take place in all corners of India, so wherever you are at this time, you won’t be able to hide from beauty.
5. Baikal, Russia
Air temperature: 0-10 °C.
Water temperature: 7-11°C.
Cost of living: from 14$ per night.
In October, Baikal has relatively comfortable weather, but there are practically no people due to the end of the tourist season. At the same time, golden autumn creates real miracles with Baikal nature. If you are a photographer, romanticist, mushroomer or just tired of the city bustle, then here you will definitely be able to enjoy total relax.
You can stop very close to the lake, for example in the village of Listvyanka, or in the more lively Irkutsk – and make outings to nature from there. It is better to take care of the excursions in advance (still the end of the season, the programs will be closed for vacations), but at the beginning of the month many of them are still available.
In any case don’t waste your autumn vacations just staying at home! Go and see the world aroud! It is so beautiful.
