Top Destinations to Escape the Chill This October

Millions of people feel the chill when October rolls in. If you aren’t quite ready for frosted mornings, cold winds, and an occasional flake of snow, it’s time to get away to a great warm-weather destination.

From sunny cities to sandy beaches, we have the top destinations where you can escape the chill this October!

Melbourne, Australia

Talk about perfect weather! Melbourne usually averages 68°F in October. It has a great cultural scene with a ton of arts, cuisine, and splendid coffee shops. Check out The Melbourne Museum, Brunswick Street, or visit the historical Old Melbourne Goal, Victoria’s oldest prison.

Austin, Texas

If you are looking to warm things up, Texas is always a good place to go. Austin will still be past the 80-degree mark most days in October, and you can get out and enjoy their world-famous River Walk.

Austin is as much fun with almost as many attractions as Dallas and Houston, minus the crowds and crime, and at a cheaper price point.

Las Vegas, Nevada

Las Vegas is a great place to go to beat the chill in October. With temperatures in the 80s, travelers can feel comfortable going out and getting to and from the renowned shows and casinos of the Las Vegas Strip.

Although if you rent a room at one of the Strip’s swankiest hotels, you probably won’t want to venture outside anyway!

Samos, Greece

A trip to Samos, Greece, in the fall means warm breezes as you enjoy crystal blue waters and spectacular beaches. In Greece, there is always an opportunity for day trips to mountain villages, medieval towns, and ancient ruins.

The best thing about Samos is that it isn’t the most popular of the Greek Islands, and its tourist season is dwindling by October.
