There&#8217;s plenty to appreciate on the continent while temperatures remain balmy and cities bustling with life. If you&#8217;re considering an off-peak trip, here are ten reasons to visit Europe this autumn.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>1) Bavaria&#8217;s Alpine Forests<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Visit fairy tale forests as their vertiginous pines turn shades of honey and russet. Autumn is one of the best times of year to witness the majesty of Bavaria&#8217;s Alpine forests as the leaves slowly change colour.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>2) Time for Wine<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>In Italy, grapes are harvested in August, and between September and October in France. Autumn truly is wine time in Europe, so oenophiles should take advantage of this auspicious season to sample local tipples at the many autumnal wine festivals like Italy&#8217;s Chianti&#8217;s Feste dell&#8217;Uva and Beaujolais Nouveau Day in France.<\/p>\n<h3><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8564\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2017\/05\/WINE-HARVEST-CREDIT-www.istockphoto.jpg\" alt=\"Europe in Autumn\" width=\"1698\" height=\"1131\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/WINE-HARVEST-CREDIT-www.istockphoto.jpg 1698w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/WINE-HARVEST-CREDIT-www.istockphoto-1536x1023.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/WINE-HARVEST-CREDIT-www.istockphoto-330x220.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/WINE-HARVEST-CREDIT-www.istockphoto-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/WINE-HARVEST-CREDIT-www.istockphoto-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/WINE-HARVEST-CREDIT-www.istockphoto-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1698px) 100vw, 1698px\" \/><strong>3) Go for a Ride in Amsterdam<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Being one of the leafiest cities in Europe, Amsterdam&#8217;s cobbled streets are awash with colour in autumn. Jump on a bicycle and pedal around the canal ring, admiring the glorious gold and bronze leaves as you ride.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>4) Watch Turtles Hatch in Kos<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Every autumn, hundreds of baby turtles hatch on the beaches of Kos, Greece and waddle their way to the water. To prevent them from the confusion of car headlights, often people line in rows, creating a channel for them to safely flop into the sea.<\/p>\n<h3><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2017\/05\/Turtle-CREDIT-www.istockphoto.jpg\" alt=\"Europe in Autumn\" width=\"1698\" height=\"1132\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Turtle-CREDIT-www.istockphoto.jpg 1698w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Turtle-CREDIT-www.istockphoto-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Turtle-CREDIT-www.istockphoto-330x220.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Turtle-CREDIT-www.istockphoto-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Turtle-CREDIT-www.istockphoto-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Turtle-CREDIT-www.istockphoto-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1698px) 100vw, 1698px\" \/><strong>5) Make Your Wallet Smile<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Visiting Europe in autumn means you&#8217;re travelling out of season, and thus prices will be lower than peak summer season. Why not jump at the chance to explore this diverse continent at a more wallet-friendly price.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>6) Truffle Season in Piedmont, Italy<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Gourmands will delight in sampling one of the world&#8217;s most revered delicacies during the harvest. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/best-places-to-visit-in-autumn\/\">Autumn is truffle season in Italy<\/a>, specifically within the Piedmont region. It officially kicks off in the first week of October with the Alba White Truffle Fair, and you&#8217;ll find them on almost every restaurant menu in the area.<\/p>\n<h3><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8562\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2017\/05\/Truffles-CREDIT-www.istockphoto.jpg\" alt=\"Europe in Autumn\" width=\"1698\" height=\"1131\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Truffles-CREDIT-www.istockphoto.jpg 1698w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Truffles-CREDIT-www.istockphoto-1536x1023.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Truffles-CREDIT-www.istockphoto-330x220.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Truffles-CREDIT-www.istockphoto-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Truffles-CREDIT-www.istockphoto-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Truffles-CREDIT-www.istockphoto-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1698px) 100vw, 1698px\" \/><strong>7) Rust Colours in the Lake District <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The Lake District&#8217;s woodlands are seemingly on fire in autumn, with a patchwork of gold, red and orange foliage carpeting the Cumbria landscapes. Take a ramble on the fells between September and November.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>8) Score (Late!) Summer Sun in Croatia<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Temperatures may begin to drop in autumn, but you can still capture some rays in Croatia. Dubrovnik has seven hours of sunshine a day and averages about 20 degrees. The sea will still be warm, so don&#8217;t forget to pack your swimsuit.<\/p>\n<h3><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2017\/05\/Dubrovnik-CREDIT-www.istockphoto.jpg\" alt=\"Europe in Autumn\" width=\"1698\" height=\"1132\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Dubrovnik-CREDIT-www.istockphoto.jpg 1698w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Dubrovnik-CREDIT-www.istockphoto-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Dubrovnik-CREDIT-www.istockphoto-330x220.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Dubrovnik-CREDIT-www.istockphoto-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Dubrovnik-CREDIT-www.istockphoto-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Dubrovnik-CREDIT-www.istockphoto-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1698px) 100vw, 1698px\" \/><strong>9) Get Spooked in Ireland<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Halloween is a big deal in Ireland.
