European Tours in Autumn

Explore

Skip the summer heat and the crowds and instead enjoy the golden foliage and milder weather of autumn.

One of the main draws of autumn in Europe is the stunning display of foliage, where landscapes transform into a kaleidoscope of vibrant reds, oranges and yellows. And, along with colour, Autumn brings cooler temperatures, making it ideal for outdoor exploration without the scorching heat - the perfect weather for a walking tour. With the summer season over, destinations feel quieter and more relaxed, offering a more authentic look into local life. Attractions and historic landmarks - like the Venice canals, the Eiffel Tower and the Acropolis - are quieter too, creating a more intimate experience as you explore iconic sites.

Autumn is also harvest season in Europe. You can savour an abundance of fresh produce and local delicacies in gastronomy capitals like Bologna - home of fine French food. Experience the grape harvest in Bordeaux and Saint-Émilion and try a glass (or three) of the world-renowned local wines or sample seasonal treats like pumpkin soup in Germany or truffles in Italy. There's so much choice for foodies!

Whatever European adventure you choose, you can relax knowing you'll get unbeatable value. Expertly crafted itineraries (made by our expert explorers), insightful excursions with local guides, hand-picked accommodation in the best locations, direct flights from your local airport at no extra cost, transfers and the services of a wonderful Riviera Tour Manager who’ll look after you throughout - it's all included in the price.
