5 Picture Perfect Fall Destinations
The golden hues of autumn make a dramatic background for Insta-worthy photos. Here are our top picks!

San Francisco
This city can steal your heart any time of the year, but don’t be surprised if you leave your heart here in autumn. While the weather may not be its main draw in fall, this city is worth a visit during this time of the year because of the many activities and events that are lined up for weeks. Everyone dresses up for Halloween, and what better place to go trick or treatin’ than in San Francisco, a city that celebrates diversity. Plan a wine tour in nearby Napa and Sonoma Valley, or go whale watching at the San Francisco Bay.

Montreal
This Canadian city shouldn’t be on your travel list only during fall, as it is picturesque all year round. Nevertheless, pack your bags to Quebec for a symphony of yellows and browns created by tree and plant species that are endemic to the region. Take a long, leisurely walk down the cobblestone roads, visit a Gothic cathedral, and dine on French-inspired cuisine from one of Montreal’s celebrated restaurants.

Cappadocia
If you’re one of those who keep a bucket list, then cross off one in Cappadocia, Turkey. Get on a hot air balloon and get awestruck at nature’s amazing creations. The weather is also cool enough for a pleasurable hike around the region’s Love Valley, while a sunset horseback ride is a new way to explore Cappadocia’s unique geography.

Bavaria
Germany takes the spotlight in Europe, particularly during the autumn season, because of its most famous festival: Oktoberfest. The popularity of this event has spread the world over, not only for its overflowing beer drinking celebration, but also for the festivities which allow travelers to enjoy local food and culture. Once the partying is over, put on your hiking gear and explore the Alps or explore some of the castles in the region notable for its architecture and history.
