Autumn travel trends favor local traditions and off-path destinations

Autumn travel trends show an increasing interest in exploring lesser-known European destinations and local traditions. According to a Skyscanner study, 87% of respondents are considering less obvious destinations over major metropolises, with many seeking to connect with regional history, heritage, and local festivals.

Specific seasonal highlights include the wine harvest in Tokaj, Hungary, which features open cellars and traditional music. In Paris, the Montmartre district also engages in grape harvesting. In Poland, Gdańsk offers autumn tourism centered around its historic Old Town, supported by infrastructure such as a 469-space underground parking facility equipped with EV charging stations.
