Where to Travel in Europe in October

Italy

October in Italy is a season of truffle markets, wine harvests and quiet piazzas. Stay in a 16th century palazzo in the heart of Florence, tour Tuscan vineyards with expert sommeliers and drive vintage 1960s convertibles through the streets of Rome. Whether you’re an art aficionado seeking exclusive after-hours access to iconic galleries, or a foodie thrilled by the idea by a private cooking class in Puglia led by a Michelin-starred chef, our Italian experiences are carefully tailored to you.

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 amongst the best destinations in October.
