Autumnal escapes
East Highlands
Inverness, Pitlochry, Grantown-on-Spey
Visit the Cairngorms and Speyside, the spiritual home of whisky in Scotland. A dram of single malt is the perfect end to a day's walking.
Finland's Lake District
Copenhagen, Amsterdam, Osnabrück, Hamburg, Savonlinna, Helsinki, Turku, Tampere, Stockholm, Lappeenranta
An adventure across Finland's lake district might be the ultimate September reset. Get your cold water fix in the Saimaa waters and get toasty in the sauna capital of Tampere.
Switzerland along the Rhaetian Railway
Bern, Chur, Milan, Lecco, Geneva, Paris
Mentally, we're here: weaving through golden larch and pine trees along Switzerland's scenic Alpine railway. Probably on our way to a fondue-induced reverie.
Truffle and wine in Piedmont
Turin, Chambery, Alba, Paris
If you're smitten with the rich earthiness of truffle, head to the hills of Piedmont. Go between the 12/10 - 8/12 for the annual White Truffle Festival.
The Moselle Valley
Brussels, Koblenz, Trier, Cologne
The cooler months are a magical time to visit the Moselle, where hikes across orange hills studded with castles lead into evenings whiled away in fire-lit taverns.
Harvest in Alsace
Strasbourg, Dijon, Colmar
Autumn is grape-harvesting season on the banks of the Rhine. Along the Burgundy Wine Trail, you’ll find age-old harvesting traditions in the vineyards that stretch out from Dijon.
