Here are the best places to travel in September in the United States and around the world.
Though autumn officially arrives in September, it still feels like summer in many parts of the U.S., and beyond. This is the “shoulder season,” when school has begun and therefore most vacations have ended. Fewer crowds (and lower prices) make this a great time to travel.
If you are among the lucky who are able to travel at this time of year, you might catch harvest in a vineyards or take one more beach trip – think Nantucket or Long Island. Or, if time allows, enjoy a further-flung destination like Fiji, Turkey, or Spain’s Balearic Islands. Crisp autumn air changes the foliage in certain corners of the country, and food festivals are good reason to travel in fall, too.
Wherever you go, don’t miss the last days of summer and the first of autumn in a new place or an old favorite. Here are 11 of the best places to travel in September in the United States and around the world.
PARK CITY, UT
Park City is a popular winter destination, but the weather in September is ideal for outdoor fun, no snow needed. Come for fly fishing, hiking, biking, horseback riding, and rafting. More than 450 biking trails and an expansive hiking trail system deliver views of alpine lakes, granite peaks, and aspen groves turning shades of gold as the month goes on. Explore downtown Park City and visit the Park City Museum to brush up on the history of what was once a silver mining town. Catch the last few Park Silly Market Sundays, where you’ll find local crafts, food trucks, and live music. And from campsites to luxury hotels, there’s a wide range of accommodations here, including the Waldorf Astoria Park City, Pendry Park City, Washington School House Hotel, and Grand Summit Hotel. In Canyons Village, there’s Lift Park City and Apex Residences.
