The Best of Our Autumn Travel Content

We hate to begin with bad news, but there’s no avoiding it: summer is officially over. However, rather than dwelling on all the negatives (bye bye sunshine, sandals and copious amounts of ice cream), let’s all focus on the positives. Autumn is here, and that means loads of exciting things are on the horizon, from nature adventures to city breaks.

To celebrate, we’ve decided to share some of our favourite fall-themed travel content written by the World Words team, from inspiring magazine articles and engaging travel blogs to detailed destination guides. Why not prolong your summer with a sunny beach escape in Goa or with a wine-filled Napa Valley weekend? Alternatively, gear up for winter via the geysers and glaciers of both Canada and Iceland. You could also enjoy a seasonal city break in cafe-filled Vienna, or spend your autumn seeing all the sights of lesser-visited Lithuania. The options are endless.

From Supreme Swiss Sights to Secret Spa Stops: Blogs for The Council of Europe

Fast forward to this year, and to help promote the service further, we were asked to contribute some blogs to the website. These would serve to highlight some key attractions spread across the different regions and itineraries. Ultimately, we focused on two blogs – one about Switzerland’s cultural routes and the other about spa stops on the European Thermal Towns route – and we’ve included snippets from both below.

Our Best Autumn-Themed Travel Content

We hate to begin with bad news, but there’s no avoiding it: summer is almost over. However, rather than dwelling on the negatives (bye bye sunshine, sandals and copious amounts of ice cream), let’s all focus on the positives.

Autumn is approaching and there are lots of exciting things on the horizon. If you are based in the UK, you can expect a flurry of festivals coming your way, including the UK-wide Museums at Night and London Open House. Not familiar with these events? You can find out more by reading our write-ups of previous editions below. There are also rumours of an autumn heatwave arriving on UK shores. And though we have learnt not to put too much faith in the predictions of the Met Office, we have included our article on Devon’s top picnic spots just in case.

And that’s just the start…
