Where to Travel in Europe in October

Italy

October in Italy is a season of truffle markets, wine harvests and quiet piazzas. Explore Tuscany’s world-class wineries with expert sommeliers, stay in a beautifully restored palazzo in the heart of Florence and drive vintage 1960s convertibles through the streets of Rome, before heading into the Alps for scenic hikes alongside seasoned mountaineers. Whether you are an art aficionado seeking exclusive after-hours access to iconic galleries, or a foodie thrilled by the idea of a private cooking class in Puglia led by a Michelin-starred chef, each of our experiences are carefully tailored to you.  

A helicopter is parked on a rocky, snow-covered landscape with mountains in the background. A few people are seen in the distance exploring the area. Clear blue skies and scattered clouds enhance the scenic view.

Iceland

As the nights lengthen, the Northern Lights return to Iceland’s skies. Cross black sand deserts in a super jeep, climb through ice caves with a glacier expert and experience a one-of-a-kind whisky tasting inside a volcano crater. Snorkel in the Silfra fissure, where two tectonic plates meet, then unwind in your private geothermal pool at your exclusive lodge, while your private chef cooks Icelandic delicacies over an open fire. For its wild beauty and adventure, Iceland is among the best destinations in October.
