Where to travel in spring

For travellers in the southern hemisphere, spring arrives as September brings longer days and a renewed appetite for exploration. Around the world, Spring is a season of transition and balance: landscapes shift, crowds thin, and climates settle into comfortable rhythms. From the first signs of autumn colour beginning to appear in Europe and North America to destinations in Asia and Latin America enjoying calmer weather, it’s a time when conditions feel thoughtfully aligned. If you’re wondering where to travel in spring, these destinations each offer a timely and rewarding opportunity to plan your next journey.

September's sweet spot  


In September, summer crowds begin to thin across southern Europe, temperatures soften and landscapes settle into a more relaxed rhythm.

Touring conditions become far more comfortable after the intensity of high summer in North Africa, while outdoor exploration remains in full swing across much of North America.

If you’re wondering where to travel in September, this is when you can explore popular destinations such as Portugal and Vietnam without the intensity of peak summer.

Spring rewards in October

 

October offers so many possibilities. In parts of southern Africa, wildlife activity increases as landscapes shift towards the end of the dry season. Across North Africa in Egypt, daytime temperatures become far more comfortable for exploring ancient sites.

Spring brings colour and energy across the Southern Hemisphere, while along parts of the Mediterranean like Spain, you can still enjoy warm days without high season crowds.

Where spring meets winter sun


November is a month of shifting travel patterns. Autumn colours reach their peak in parts of East Asia, while across South and Southeast Asia dry season conditions start to settle in. Daytime temperatures become far more comfortable in Qatar, while Mexico enters one of its most reliable weather periods.
