Europe tours in October 2026

With lively festivals (hello, Oktoberfest), autumn foliage and mild temperatures, October makes for exceptional European travel. While autumnal weather may not always be suitable for every outdoor expedition, it does make the region less expensive than its summer counterparts. In October, you’ll be able to sit on beaches in Amalfi, explore ancient civilisations in Malta and maybe even see snow in Iceland, all without the high-season crowds.
