But throughout Autumn it has a nice comfy climate where you feel like you are still on holiday, enjoying the nice weather compared to the summer where you are constantly sweating in the heat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The beauty of Portugal is that there is definitely something for everyone. Are you more into city-breaks and sightseeing? Then <a href=\"https:\/\/www.joinmytrip.com\/blog\/en\/lisbon-hidden-gems\/\" target=\"_blank\">there is Lisbon<\/a>, Sintra and Porto, autumn is a great season to truly experience these cities as you can still wander, see the sights and emerge yourself into the culture without the heat and over bustling crowds. Or, you could travel a bit further down <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.joinmytrip.com\/en\/all-trips\/group-trips\/Asia\/SouthKorea\"   title=\"south\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\" target=\"_blank\">south<\/a> and take the chance to relax on the beautiful Algarve beaches. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the autumn it\u2019s a perfect time to go catch some waves with warmer sea temperatures and fewer people. If you\u2019re visiting Portugal in autumn, why not head over to the Douro Region? Bring some friends and explore the well-known vineyards, whilst of course doing some wine-tasting, as we all know the mixture of wine and sun is the perfect combo. Therefore, Portugal is one of the best autumn destinations in Europe.  &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-idyllic-greece\">2.

The crowds are fewer, the costs are lower, and the climate is milder. The bonus of all of this is that you can see Greece in a more authentic way as sometimes the summer months can be drowned in tourism, making it a perfect European autumn destination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why not take yourself to Athens and visit the ancient ruins without the battling crowds and intense heat? Or, go and see the traditional winemaking methods for yourself? You could hop onto a boat and experience the spectacular islands without the overwhelming crowds. Or just make the most of the ideal hiking climate and go-off on the beaten path through the idyllic terrain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-text-color has-background has-text-align-center wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.joinmytrip.com\/en\/all-trips\/group-trips\/Europe\/Greece\" style=\"background:linear-gradient(135deg,rgb(47,83,255) 0%,rgb(133,26,236) 100%)\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Travel to Greece<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-culturally-rich-bulgaria\">3.

But sometimes it can be too popular, this is why it\u2019s a good chance for you to add this to your list of best autumn destinations in Europe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Autumn in Bulgaria is absolutely stunning; the dramatic mountain ranges, clear blue beaches and quaint historic towns. Take the chance to enrich yourself into the cultures of the cities of Varna and Burgas. Or, trek through the largest national park; Standzha.

To witness the changing landscapes, visit Lake Bled to get a true European Autumn fairy-tale experience. As you\u2019re already here you can take a visit to Vintgar Gorge where you can walk along Radovna River. The lovely capital of Slovenia, Ljubljana offers a vibrant and lively feeling, whilst being able to explore the different sights. You can go to museums or you could just sit down and do some people watching with a nice cup of coffee at a local caf\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Slovenia generally is a cheaper go-to destination in Europe, but it\u2019s underrated and not on the top of many people\u2019s lists, but it gets even more affordable through the lower seasons, yet it has so much to offer. Thus, it is one of the best autumn destinations in Europe that you must put into your list. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-text-color has-background has-text-align-center wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.joinmytrip.com\/en\/trips;type=place;googleMapsId=ChIJp64RwkCAVhMRXUcLSWN___0;label=Balkans\" style=\"background:linear-gradient(135deg,rgb(47,83,255) 0%,rgb(133,26,236) 100%)\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Travel to the Balkans<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-natural-beauty-slovakia\">5.
