Winter is just around the corner, but the holiday period isn’t always the best time for a vacation! In the weeks of Thanksgiving and Christmas, prices can rise and some of the best locations in the US and abroad can be packed with tourists. That’s why, if you are planning a getaway before the end of the year, you should consider the benefits of planning a mid-fall trip. 

And, you don’t have to go far to experience the magic of this season! Even visiting a nearby city or a local festival can make for some of the best memories. In this quick-start guide, we’ll look at a few tips to travel in comfort this season. 

Choose The Right Destination

First things first - choose your destination wisely. Start by looking at who you are traveling with and their needs. For example, if you are traveling with your family, you may look at exploring a nearby hidden gem, such as a park, a natural area famous for its foliage, or small towns. 

For a romantic getaway, you may consider a city stay packed with exploring local attractions, eateries, and cafes. Depending on how long you plan to be traveling for, make sure that you are not spending a large majority of your vacation time traveling between destinations!

Opt For A Luxurious Hotel Room 

Nothing says relaxation like a luxurious hotel room! And, fall could be the perfect time of the year to indulge in premium accommodation, which often offers amenities like pristine views, fitness and wellness centers, and indoor pools. 

For example, if you are planning a trip to Georgia, consider luxury hotel suites in Atlanta. This type of accommodation can help you make the most of this dynamic city, without compromising on quality amenities and stellar service. Plus, when you opt for a luxurious stay, you’ll always have something to enjoy during a rainy day - be it a spa day or a fine dining experience!

Plan For An Experience

When traveling during fall, you’ll want to make sure to add a unique experience to your itinerary to make your getaway more memorable. The options here are endless! You could consider participating in one of the best fall harvest festivals that take place across the US at this time of the year. 

Or, you could opt for staying in a cabin in the woods or at a well-renowned nature retreat. And, of course, don’t miss out on visiting some major tourist hotspot during fall: devoid of crowds, you can make the most of world-famous attractions while enjoying an intimate experience.  

Stick To The Fall Theme 

Fall is a beautiful season for traveling, as it allows you to explore in all comfort, also thanks to reduced crowds, milder temperatures, and lower prices. So, it may be worth sticking to an autumn theme! Think, for example, of visiting areas in the US famous for the color-changing foliage or destinations known for their Halloween celebrations, like Sleepy Hollow, Savannah, and, of course, Salem. 

Pack Smartly 

Last but not least, keep in mind that the weather during autumn can be unpredictable. Temperature can drop significantly at night, and you may encounter more rainy days than expected. So, pack smartly to make the most of your trip regardless of the weather!
