October Departures

Late getaways departing in October

Shoulder months, like October, can be a great time of the year to book a last-minute trip. With most Southern European countries still experiencing the last push of Indian summers in the first half of the month, you can still enjoy temperate climates, with very little rainfall. Whereas northern European countries haven’t reached winter yet, so it’s the perfect time to embrace the autumnal change with exhilarating hikes through mountainous forests and brisk walks in the city parks towards warmly lit wine bars come evening.

But it’s not just about the autumn hues, crunchy leaves and crisp sunny days or about grabbing that book for a relaxing beach day along the coast, our interest-packed itineraries are designed to immerse you in the cultural delights of each destination. Whether that’s taking you on a historical tour around an ancient forgotten city in the middle of the desert, guiding you towards hidden waterfalls in a treasured national park or heading to an intimate wine tasting at a traditional Port wine cellar, rest assured our trips allow you to discover the very heart of a region.
