Autumn, also known as fall in North American English, has begun making way for easy on the eye sceneries in countries across the world with different colors of maple leaves hung loosely from branches ready to fall to the ground.
Autumn season (September-November) would be the best time travel. Not too hot, yet not too cold either, you can travel over to your heart's content in a snug climate. Throughout this season, the number of holidaymakers and the prices of the accommodation would be less when compared to the summer days.
Fall weather is perfect for exploring, whether it's a city or a national park. You won’t have to worry about breaking a sweat and you also won't have to pack bulky sweaters and coats in your traveling bag.
In case you are perplexed about where to visit in this autumn season, here we bring you the best places in the world to see the fall.
