Some people believe that summer’s the best time to take a trip, but I’ve always been a fan of the fall vacation. The lack of crowds at your favorite tourist attractions is a big reason, but so are the mild weather and colorful leaves that can be found in many popular destinations. And if you needed another excuse to travel during the fall, airfares and hotel rates are typically lower than they are during the peak summer months.
After examining airfares, hotel rates, events, attractions and seasonal weather, Bing Travel has named its 14 best destinations for a fall vacation. Our top travel spot this season is New York City, where you’ll find exciting Broadway openings, delightful foliage, and airfares and hotel rates that are more than 20 percent lower than a year ago. Rounding out our lineup are places from coast to coast as well outside the U.S., and destinations that feature warm weather as well as more moderate climates — and all of which offer interesting attractions as well as great deals.
