It’s true, with the end of the summer holidays, many people have to dive back into the hustle and bustle of everyday life. But is it worth taking a trip in September for those who didn’t take a holiday in July and August?
Our answer: Yes, absolutely! Here are 5 + 1 reasons why travelling in September is the best choice you can make.
1. It's still summer!
Even though we are used to equating the end of August with the end of summer, this is not actually the case: Summer officially ends on the 23rd of September. In fact, in Italy and on the Croatian coast, for example, it is still pure summer weather throughout September and even beyond in some places. So if we love summer so much, why should we deliberately let it end early?
2. Sun, clear skies and a pleasant climate
The first reason gives us the opportunity to reveal the second reason why travelling in September is an excellent idea: the climate. In September you can still enjoy beautiful sunny days, but with the great advantage that you can enjoy all the activities without having to fear the typical heat of July and August. Swimming, diving, SUP, but also wonderful panoramic excursions, cycling and climbing – no problem, because many destinations can be experienced in all their facets in September.
3. Being a traveller instead of a tourist
Tranquil, clean landscapes, no crowds and no endless queues: In September, you can enjoy your destination 100%. Instead of being distracted by purely touristy activities, you can experience the local reality in a deeper and more authentic way and enjoy the company of the locals, who are often more hospitable after the time and stress of the tourist season. You will also find more relaxed and friendly service and staff in bars and restaurants. In short: you can explore your destination without running the risk of falling into tourist traps and instead discover it like a real traveller.
4. Reduced costs
Another reason why travelling in September pays off is the lower costs. In fact, the cost of flights, hotels and entertainment activities drops as soon as the month of August is over. You can do everything you could have done in July and August, but at a lower price. Not bad.
5. Discover new activities
Normally, in tourist destinations in September, all the activities you would find in August are still available. The bars and clubs are still open late into the night, you can go on excursions, visit museums and take part in local summer highlights. But you can also start other activities that complement the holiday classics. In many places, for example, you now have the opportunity to explore the unspoilt countryside while eating delicious chestnuts. In September, wine-related activities often come into play. Why not visit a winery and experience a tasting?
