27 Halloween Around the World

Fall is coming which means it’s not only time for chunky sweaters, bon-fires and pumpkin spice, but it is also the best time to book a vacation. Need some advice on where to go during fall break? No worries, here is a quick guide to give you a few ideas for your next trip.

The fall season is one of the best times to plan a vacation. According to www.lifehack.org, “The hype of vacations and holidays are over hence hotels, hostels, flights and everything else in between reaches an almost 35% drop in prices.” Not only will you be saving money on booking, but you’ll also have more money to spend during your trip. Another great thing is that you can experience your trip without having to worry about large crowds while enjoying the beautiful foliage, scenery and activities new places have to offer.

University of St. Francis Senior, Diana Ortega says, “I recently went to Madison, Wisconsin for the first time during the summer with my friends. Although I went in the summer, there are a lot of fun things you can still do in the fall. Every Saturday morning, they have a large farmers market on the Square which is right in front of WI State Capital. There are lots of beautiful places you can visit such as the Olbrich Botanical Gardens, Chazen Museum of Art and Madison's Museum of Contemporary Art.”

Fall is the perfect time to enjoy the outdoors because of the brisk weather. You can enjoy the foliage by hiking in the mountains in Aspen, Colorado or Acadia, Maine. Take scenic drives through North Fork, Long Island or Woodstock, Vermont where you can go to a local orchard to pick apples or check out their local shops and restaurants. If you enjoy the fall and would rather have warm weather, visit Orlando, Florida to experience Disney World’s Mickey’s Halloween Party and Universal’s Halloween Horror Nights. If you’re looking to get into the Halloween spirit or interested in history, Salem, Massachusetts is the place for you: “…there are more than 1,000 events in the month of October and people from all around the world flock to the city in the fall to experience the spooky celebrations,” states www.travelchannel.com. Salem is known for the witch trials of 1692, and you can experience what the witch trials were like by visiting the witch museums and going on historical tours. Salem is also known for going above and beyond to celebrate Halloween. Locals take Halloween costumes seriously, you can visit a psychic, go ghost hunting and even visit some of the “Hocus Pocus” filming locations!

Wherever it is you chose to go, I hope this provides you with a few ideas for your next trip. Take advantage of these low prices to book a trip for the upcoming fall— or, get ahead and book for next year.
