Choosing what destination to visit is a challenge in September. After all, it’s one of the best months to travel across the world for good weather, late summer sunshine and less people. In Europe, summer crowds invade sunny destinations during July and August, so if you want to visit popular beach destinations like Italy, Greece and Spain, a September trip is perfect timing.

Here are the best September travel destinations to visit in Europe and north Africa for late summer sunshine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you dream of gelato strolls by the shores of Lake Maggiore, jetting across Lake Como and exploring lesser-known charming lakeside villages in the north of Italy? You should! Embrace the Italian Lakes with a September trip when the weather is warm and Europe\u2019s summer crowds are easing. Enjoy plates of pasta, local cheese and plenty of wine on an indulgent trip to the Italian Lakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Costa del Sol is called the \u2018Sun Coast\u2019 for a reason. If you\u2019re chasing September sunshine in Europe, there\u2019s nowhere better than the southern Spanish coastline of Andalusia. Explore white washed hilltop villages, white sandy beaches and seafood lunches by the water. Enjoy ancient sites and history lessons in the capital, Malaga, or kick back with fresh seafood in Torremolinos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Malta\u2019s rich history, stunning architecture, and crystal-clear waters make it a top destination for September travel. Explore the ancient walled city of Mdina, visit the impressive St. John\u2019s Co-Cathedral in Valletta, and relax on the beautiful beaches of Gozo and Comino. The weather remains warm, with average highs around 28\u00b0C (82\u00b0F), meaning it’ll feel exactly like summer – just without all the schools-out crowds.

Also in September is the Malta International Folk Festival<\/a>, which showcases the island’s rich cultural diversity and unique blend of traditions. Historically, Malta has been a crossroads for various cultures, each bringing their own customs and heritage to the island, giving it a vibrant folkloric tradition. Come celebrate this during this 3-day festival of dance and song, alongside other folk traditions from around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Photo<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best thing about a visit to the southern coast of Portugal (or anywhere in Europe) in September is that the wall-to-wall crowds of summer tourists have mostly headed back to their busy lives. The Algarve region, with its soaring orange cliffs and turquoise blue waters, is a favourite destination for holiday makers. In September the post-summer ocean is still warm, making for great days at the beach, coastal drives and seafood feasts by the shore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just head a little south of Croatia for the same stunning Adriatic Coast at a fraction of the price. The stunning Bay of Kotor is unforgettable, with the same charming medieval towns and pale blue water as in Croatia, but with rocky cliffs that add a touch of drama to the scene. Explore the UNESCO-listed old town of Kotor, take a scenic drive along the coastline, and relax on the beaches of Budva.
