When the vacation season ends, cities become calmer, tourist crowds gradually disappear, and familiar streets reveal a completely different side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Autumn<\/strong> is the time for long walks through old quarters, cozy coffee shops with hot chocolate, golden leaves in city parks, and evenings with a glass of wine after a busy day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You no longer need to hide from the heat in the shade in the middle of the day. In September and October, you can comfortably stroll through <strong>Rome<\/strong>, climb up to the <strong>Prague Castle<\/strong>, explore the hills of Budapest, or wander for hours along the narrow streets of <strong>Venice<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another plus of autumn travel is the prices. After the summer peak, accommodation often becomes cheaper, it&#8217;s easier to find a table in popular restaurants, and tickets to museums no longer need to be bought weeks in advance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this selection \u2014 10 European cities that are especially beautiful in the autumn of 2026.

And the streets of the <strong>Old Town<\/strong> resemble a continuous tourist flow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>In autumn, Prague<\/strong> changes.

In September, many cities can have +20 \u00b0C or even warmer, but within a few days the temperature can drop sharply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Therefore, the best strategy is the principle of <strong>layering<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Take with you:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>a light jacket;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>a sweater or cardigan;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>t-shirts;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>a small raincoat or umbrella;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>a scarf;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>a small backpack for walks.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And most importantly: <strong>comfortable footwear<\/strong> \u2014 sneakers are ideal for strolling through cities and climbing up a hill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It sounds banal, but in three days in Prague, Rome, or Venice, you can walk 15\u201320 km a day without even noticing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-is-europe-cheaper-in-autumn\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Is Europe cheaper in autumn?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, but not always.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>September can still be quite expensive, especially in popular cities.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In October and November the selection of accommodation usually becomes larger, and prices can be more pleasant.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>But there&#8217;s an important nuance: <strong>autumn is the season for conferences, exhibitions, festivals, and other city events<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So sometimes the hotel price for specific dates can suddenly turn out to be very high. Before booking, you should check if there is a big celebration, concert, or any event or exhibition taking place in the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-where-is-the-best-place-to-look-for-accommodation\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Where is the best place to look for accommodation<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a short trip, I wouldn&#8217;t recommend saving on location. It&#8217;s better to pay a little more for a hotel or apartment from where you can walk to the main attractions, rather than spending an hour every day on the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is especially true for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Prague;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Venice;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rome;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Barcelona;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Amsterdam.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before booking, look not only at the price, but also at the following details:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>location;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>reviews;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>sound insulation;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>availability of heating;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>cancellation policy;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>tourist tax (maybe also cleaning fee).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The last point is especially important in autumn: the final accommodation price may be higher than it first appears on the booking screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-autumn-in-europe-is-not-off-season-at-all\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Autumn in Europe is not &#8220;off-season&#8221; at all<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the contrary. It&#8217;s a time when Europe becomes a little slower. There&#8217;s no need to wake up at six in the morning to have time to see a sight before the heat. No need to spend hours waiting in queues under the sun. No need to look for shade all day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can just stroll. Have your morning coffee on a quiet square, visit museums and old streets during the day, and in the evening look for a restaurant with local cuisine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And that&#8217;s why autumn trips often leave more impressions than a summer vacation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Prague in the fog, golden Vienna, evening Budapest, Amsterdam&#8217;s canals, autumn Rome, or Malta&#8217;s warm sea \u2014 each city has its own character.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The main thing is to choose the one that suits your mood this autumn the most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-useful-articles-and-links\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Useful articles and links:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.journeys6senses.com\/en\/berlin-for-three-days\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Berlin in three days \u2013 what to see in the capital of Germany<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.journeys6senses.com\/en\/top-20-places-on-malta\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>TOP-20 places to see in Malta<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.journeys6senses.com\/en\/budapest-what-to-do\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>15 things you absolutely must do and see in Budapest<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.journeys6senses.com\/en\/top-20-in-lisbon\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>TOP-20 places to see in Lisbon<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.journeys6senses.com\/en\/osinni-kanikuly-v-evropi\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Top family escapes 2026: \u0456\u0434\u0435\u0457 \u0434\u043b\u044f \u043c\u0430\u043d\u0434\u0440\u0456\u0432\u043e\u043a \u0437 \u0434\u0456\u0442\u044c\u043c\u0438 \u0432 \u0404\u0432\u0440\u043e\u043f\u0456<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Car rental<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>\u2013&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/discovercars.tpo.lv\/K83b4Oex\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">DiscoverCars<\/a><\/strong><br><strong>Train<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>and bus tickets<\/strong>&nbsp;in Europe &#8211;&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/rzekl.com\/g\/700u4nenlt7edc217bab84951289db\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Omio.com<\/a><\/strong><br><strong>Travel Medical Insurance<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2013 <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/hotline.finance\/ua\/?utm_source=postaffiliatepro&amp;utm_medium=cpa&amp;a_aid=6696307684ee5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">HotlineFinance<\/a><\/strong><br><strong>Hotel bookings&nbsp;<\/strong>and apartments \u2013&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.booking.com\/searchresults.uk.html?aid=1142978\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Booking.com<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-subscribe-on-nbsp-facebook-nbsp-and-nbsp-instagram\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Subscribe on&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/journeys6senses\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Facebook<\/a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/savinairyna\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Instagram<\/a><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The best cities in Europe for traveling in autumn.
