Finally, fall is right around the corner; the perfect season for those who can't stand the summer heat, but also don't appreciate the freezing months of winter. Fall is when the excitement for Halloween starts to build up; it's when you can make a delicious pumpkin pie and get to enjoy walks with the sound of crisp leaves under your feet as nature starts to renew itself. People during this time start to come back from their summer vacations, making it the perfect time for fall lovers to pack up and enjoy their favorite season somewhere alive and vibrant. Here are some ideas for fall vacation destinations that you'll fall in love with:

New York City

Everyone always talks about how beautiful New York City is during the winter, which is true, but it's just as charming in the fall, too. It's when the temperatures are mild; perfect for long walks, with colorful leaves decorating the city. It also means you'll get to attend many fall parades like the Village Halloween Parade and the infamous Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. There are so many activities to do and places to see in the city, so don't miss getting the best out of the season in this city. Make sure you visit The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Times Square, and Central Park.

Italy

Choosing Italy for your fall vacation destination won't only mean you'll enjoy great weather, but you'll also find it to be more cost-effective since summer is over. You can get amazing deals on accommodation during the fall as the travel gurus at getyourstay.com advise, not to mention you'll find it less crowded. It's also the harvest season in the country, which means you'll enjoy tasty foods and amazing harvest festivals, also known as 'Sagre.' Tuscany would be a great choice for your vacation with its fabulous weather, colorful landscapes, and authentic Italian country life.

Canada

Canada is always dismissed too quickly as a fall destination because people assume it's always cold. However, some areas in Canada make for an amazing holiday destination during this time of year. Quebec City, for example, is famous for its charming fall colors mixed with the sweet flavor of its delicious maple syrup. Ontario is another Canadian city perfect for an autumn getaway where you can witness first-hand the transformation into the season with all its glorious colors. You can enjoy canoe trips to marvel at all the mountains and maple trees in their blazing colors.

Greece

Most people head to Greece in the summer months, but only an experienced traveler knows that the country is best during autumn. For starters, it means less crowded places of attraction, so that you can enjoy your vacation quietly. We highly recommend you head over to the gorgeous city of Santorini with its sunny weather, glistening water, and wondrous archaeological sites. You'll get to watch the most breathtaking sunsets, sip on tasty wine, and witness the real Atlantis, a sunken part of the city. Make sure you don't miss out on climbing to the top of the volcano that caused the sunken city, as well as visiting the Akrotiri Lighthouse.

Argentina

This is the best fall vacation destination for those who love a country with a rich culture mixed with incredible nature. Argentina is a city where the fiery Latin atmosphere is smoothly mixed with European charm. Buenos Aires comes alive during the fall time with its perfect temperatures, cultural events, and breathtaking nature. It's where you can learn how to tango and shop at the bustling San Telmo Market. If you want quieter days spent marveling at natural scenes, Patagonia is the ideal city to spend your fall holiday. It's all about outdoor activities like kayaking, whale watching, mountain biking, or Horseback riding.

Spain

Summers in Spain are insanely hot and sunny, yet people flock from all over the world to enjoy its beaches and culture. However, if you wait until the fall, the temperatures begin to cool down, the crowds get smaller, and nature gets even more spectacular to witness. The key is to choose the right area to spend your vacation. Seville, for example, is the ideal place to stay, sipping on cold beer and snacking on tapas in the shaded plazas with the locals; it's also the perfect destination for history buffs. For those who like more low-key areas, Puigcerda is your answer. It's a charming village with amazing views, especially in Puigcerda Lake and Schierbeck Park, and plenty of cute boutiques and cafes to enjoy.

Well, there you have it, these are the places you should be considering for your next fall vacation and guarantee that you'll enjoy yourself. The most important thing about picking the perfect vacation destination is doing a lot of research on the country and its cities to find out what they have to offer. Your choice will depend on what type of person and traveler you are, whether you prefer culture and history, nature scenes, or city adventures. Just make sure you plan out everything well to make the most out of your trip.
