Where to go in Europe in October

Fit and cost figures are My Travel Choices estimates from our own destination model, not live prices or booking data.
How to read this October ranking
A strong fit means our records show high October suitability for that destination, weighed together with trip fit and on-the-ground costs. It is not a dry-weather guarantee and not a forecast: conditions vary between a country's cities, coasts and islands. Daily figures are estimates for being there and exclude international flights.
