Where to go in September

September is a sweet spot for many destinations: still warm around the Mediterranean, calmer after the summer holidays, and spring starts in the southern hemisphere.

Places are ranked by their typical weather in September (comfortable daily highs and little rain) and by traveler ratings. Public holidays are listed with each place, as museums, shops and offices may be closed and popular places can be busy on them. Climate data from Meteostat.
