\nRegardless of which tourist attraction you\u2019d like to visit, September promises much shorter line-ups. You\u2019ll get to see the Van Gogh museum without queuing for hours in the hot sun, and there won\u2019t be ten other people standing between you and the sunflowers.<\/p>\n
\nYou\u2019ll probably be able to stay in the accommodation of your choice without worrying about overbooking or getting the room beside the kitchen. If you\u2019re hiring a car, you\u2019ll have a full selection of compacts, SUVs and premium vehicles.<\/p>\n
\nAlmost everything is going to be less expensive. Accommodations, car hire companies, and excursion outfits all lower their prices in the shoulder season when the bulk of the tourists have gone home.<\/p>\n
\nMany smaller business owners in Europe take their holidays in August. By the time September rolls around, everyone\u2019s back to work. All the little boutiques and restaurants will be open, and many of them will be offering great deals.<\/p>\n
\nIn order to extend the tourist season, many popular destinations hold special events and festivals in September. Scotland has a national \u201copen house\u201d where you can visit places not normally accessible to the public. Barcelona has its fiesta, and Bonn hosts a Beethoven festival. They\u2019re literally everywhere.<\/p>\n
\nWe seem to love our own, but other people\u2019s – not so much. The kids are back in school, so you can holiday in September throughout North America and Europe pretty much child-free.<\/p>\n
\nAsia has cooled down considerably by September, so China and Japan welcome you to a lovely climate where you can visit world-renown attractions without the crowds.<\/p>\n
\nThere are some things on your bucket list that can only be done in September. Maybe its spring skiing in New-Zealand, or going on safari in Africa when the animals are most plentiful. It\u2019s amazing how many unique things can only be seen or done if you book your holiday in September.<\/p>\n
\nThe fabled beaches of the Mediterranean are just as warm, scenic and plentiful in September \u2013 but if you go in autumn, you might actually find the perfect empty place to spread your towel.<\/p>\n
\nThe southern hemisphere is shaking off winter and emerging to spring flowers and warmer weather. The northern hemisphere is leaving behind the heat and humidity of summer and enjoying balmy days and cooler nights. Really, its going to be lovely, no matter where you go.<\/p>\n
