There are also numerous Autumn Walking Festivals in the Northern Ireland where visitors can feast their eyes on nature's gold.

Autumn is also when a variety of popular cultural festivals take place throughout the city.

The best way to absorb it all is to sail down Amsterdam's canals.

If you prefer to go at your own pace, find a spot in one of the city's many parks and enjoy a leisurely afternoon people-watching.

Every season has its unique charms but there is something absolutely special about autumn in Italy.

Temperature begins to drop, the colours come out in the countryside and some of the best produce of the season hits the markets. Best of all, little Italian towns from Puglia to Lombardia blossom with festivals.

Visitors can tour Italy's parks and trails, and enjoy the changing leaves or try some classic Italian adventures like hiking in the Apennines in le Marche, Abruzzo or Umbria.

September is the month of grape harvest in Tuscany, and a perfect time to enjoy a glass of Italian wine at a winery.

In some parts of Italy, such as Sicily, the weather stays warm well into the fall so beach lovers can enjoy the last of summer on a vibrant, sunny beach.

To experience the diversity of Italy, visitors can fly British Airways to Rome via London Heathrow seven times a day. The special all-inclusive fares to Rome start from RM2,356.

5. US

New England is famous for its glorious autumn foliage which is truly a feast for the eyes. The leaves start turning colours typically around mid-to-late September and peak around mid-October in the northern regions whilst the more southern states colour later, often lasting till mid-November.
