Ooh la la! Ready to lap up the last of the Mediterranean summer? France is without a doubt one of the best places to visit in September. It’s prime time for visiting the vineyards, you can revel in the starry-eyed vibes of Paris (with fewer crowds) and the weather’s still warm enough to make the most of the pool or Mediterranean sea. What more could you want from a September vacation?
So throw a croissant in one hand and a coffee in the other, as there’s no better time to experience la vie en rose!
End-of-September vacation in Germany = Oktoberfest! (Yup, despite the name, it does start in September.) And that reason alone is enough to make Germany one of the best destinations in September. Catchy tunes, Festbier and complete Bavarian madness - it’s a celebration that everyone needs to experience at least once in their lifetime.
But there’s so much more that makes Germany one of the best European countries to visit in September. With the idyllic late-summer weather, it’s the perfect time to cycle around rivers, hike up the Alps, or taste fresh schnitzels as you stroll around the black forest. Prost!
