Ski holidays in September
Tourists who find it very difficult to wait for a full ski season can visit the Austrian Sölden or the French Tignes in September. Even in autumn time glaciers are open here, which receive many guests from different countries peace.
IN Lately in the popular Alps the number of areas suitable for skiing has significantly decreased summer season. The reason for this phenomenon is the fear of specialists who are worried about the beginning of the melting of glaciers, which are better once again do not disturb. According to rough estimates, skiers have already lost 30% of the ski trails that were previously available all year round.
In Switzerland the most famous ski resorts, welcoming tourists all year round, were and remain Saas-Fee and Zermatt, which offer some of the highest ski slopes equipped with lifts. When choosing a place where it is better to relax at the beginning or end of September while skiing, we recommend turning your attention to northern Finland, where two underground ski tunnels built for cross-country skiing are constantly operating.
Beach holiday in September
September is the traditional “velvet season” in many countries with warm climates, so choosing where to go to the sea at the beginning, middle or end of September is not very problematic. The warm autumn sun, combined with a light sea breeze, which replaced the hot air and suffocating heat, is perfect for people who cannot stand the standard summer heat. At this time, the water in the Mediterranean Sea warms up to +26 °C, and you can easily choose one of the resorts in Cyprus, Turkey or southern Italy, where the air and sea temperatures allow you to spend your vacation with the greatest comfort. As for a beach holiday in sunny Greece, it is better to pay attention to large islands(e.g. Crete), as small islands experience cool and windy weather at times.
Calm weather is observed in early autumn in Tunisia, where vacationers have white sand beaches and unique nature at their disposal.
Early autumn in Egypt, it contributes to the change from the sweltering summer heat to more comfortable weather, with daytime air temperatures no more than +34 °C, and the water in the Red Sea warms up to +28 °C, which contributes to an almost ideal vacation for the whole family.
September is also the best time for a holiday in Cyprus, even though the weather here is sunny 320 days a year.
Turkey in September will appeal to those who, in addition to a comfortable holiday, prefer an all-inclusive system. The swimming season in the country lasts throughout the fall, and in September the weather outside is almost summer-like, perhaps not as hot as at the height of the season. The tourist infrastructure is developed enough to offer you not only beach, but also excursion holiday. The air temperature in Turkey in autumn drops towards evening, so it is still worth taking a few warm clothes with you.
Warm, pleasant weather is observed throughout September in Jordan, which allows you not only to have a good rest, but also to improve your health. Located on the coast Dead Sea spa centers provide vacationers with a wide selection of various treatments, and at the Red Sea resorts you can go diving and spearfishing.
Sunny and warm summer weather continues into September in Israel. At this time in southern regions countries, on the Dead Sea and in Eilat, the air temperature does not fall below +30 °C, and the water temperature remains at +25 °C. Such weather allow you not only to enjoy a beach holiday, but also to stroll through the quiet corners of the coastal areas, enjoying the picturesque local landscapes.
When planning a seaside holiday in September, you should take into account that precipitation is possible in the middle of the month in the northern part of the Mediterranean. For example, rare rains and cold currents can spoil a holiday in Spain. On the northern coast of Italy and Croatia, the sea is quite cool in September, so a holiday here is not suitable for those who prefer more comfortable summer air and water temperatures or are traveling with children. In this case, it is better to choose southern resorts.
We are planning a family holiday with children in September
When choosing where to go in September to relax with your child, explore possible tours to Tunisia. For example, in northern Hammamet there is a water park with a huge number of various attractions, and the southern part of the resorts will delight your children with a large amusement park. In Sousse you will find a fairly popular “ice cream house”, where more than a hundred varieties of this sweet delicacy are presented.
According to experts, the most relaxing family holiday with children is in Crete, in the city of Chania. There is soft white sand and shallow warm sea. In addition, the nature of the area will also delight you. However, for children the most fun and interesting place is the Limnoupolis water park, located 6 km from the city.
When choosing a place where it will be warm in September so that your seaside holiday is as comfortable as possible, also pay attention to the island of Cyprus, where children are offered a visit to a huge water park (Fasouri Watermania), which is located in a picturesque area outside of Limassol and is equipped with water slides, swimming pools and fountains for a variety of tastes. The leader of family holidays in Cyprus (according to Russian tour operators) is the resort of Ayia Napa, followed by Limassol and Protaras. An excellent holiday in this area is also facilitated by warm weather, with almost summer air and water temperatures.
Quite popular family direction For Russian tourists, the island of Tenerife (Spain) is also considered. This resort is chosen more often than such famous holiday destinations as Mallorca and Costa Dorada. By and large, this is not surprising, because in addition to all the advantages of the climate, there is also a lot of entertainment available here, designed specifically for children (take, for example, the Siam Park water park). Here you can see the largest collection of parrots in the world, collected in Loro Parque - a place that is at the same time a zoo, a circus and a botanical garden.
Loro Parque - parrot park And, of course, when deciding where to fly in September with your children, you can’t help but think about Anapa. Firstly, you won’t have to get used to a different culture and language, and secondly, many boarding houses and hotels in the resort are traditionally family-oriented. The only drawback in this case is the less warm weather, compared to the options discussed above.
Best places to shop in September
When it’s too hot and stuffy outside, you don’t really want to go shopping, but with the arrival of autumn, the picture changes. Despite the fact that in September it is still quite warm, there is no strong stuffiness, which means it’s time to go on a shopping tour. Unfortunately, in many European countries there are practically no big discounts at this time, but if, for example, you get to Germany or Italy in early September, you may be able to catch the rest of the summer sale. Of course, going “for luck” is not very profitable, so it is better to go to Portugal or the Czech Republic, where good discounts will be valid throughout the first month of autumn. In the first case, you can get maximum discounts on trendy items (be sure to look at the price tag, it should indicate both old and new price), and in the second we recommend taking a walk along the two main shopping streets: Parizhskaya and “Na Prikop”, where you can find absolutely any thing at discounted prices (do not pass by large shopping centers).
In addition to the collections of famous designers, you will be able to purchase items from local, unfamiliar couturiers, but they will also be of high quality and affordable prices.
Exotic destination in September
There are places for exotic lovers to go on holiday in September (some countries accept tourists even without a visa). For example, in Cuba the dry season begins at this time, although the possibility of short tropical downpours cannot be completely ruled out. The beginning of autumn in Bali is also characterized by a high level of aridity, where you can combine a beach holiday with classes at surf schools, and the cost of a trip in September will be much lower than in the summer months. Until the end of September, you can have a good rest in Tanzania, only in this case you need to carefully choose your arrival time in order to plan your route across the regions.
Tanzania has the most high mountain in Africa - Kilimanjaro, as well as the famous Lake Victoria, from which the Nile River originates.
Tourists may be interested in trips to native villages and safaris, but the island of Zanzibar is rightfully considered the most beautiful place in Tanzania.
Good conditions for relaxation are observed in September and in Thailand, but in order to spend your vacation as comfortably as possible, it is better to give preference to the east coast of Malacca (Tau, Samui and Koh Phangan), although you can also have a good rest in Pattaya. Be that as it may, when vacationing on the west coast you should definitely take into account the possibility of strong winds and storms, although in general outline the weather is quite warm. Early autumn is also good for trips to Koh Samui or other eastern islands.
The state of Oman, which is located in the lower part of the Arabian Peninsula, is considered a very interesting place for an autumn holiday. If you visit this place in September, you will have a great time on the beach by the sea (the air temperature here often reaches +35 °C). The waters of the Gulf of Oman also offer an interesting holiday: you can go diving or surfing. In addition, you can diversify your vacation with a camel ride, especially since the nature of Oman will not leave even the most demanding tourist indifferent.
When visiting Oman, be sure to try National dishes states that, according to many vacationers, are simply the height of culinary art.
Morocco can surprise vacationers with its beauty and luxury, and it is better to start your trip from Marrakech.
Indonesia can easily be considered one of the best exotic holiday destinations in September, because at the beginning of autumn it is dry and sunny. However, lovers active rest surfers must take into account sea tides, which do not always contribute to this. A pleasant addition to a holiday in these places is tropical nature and unusual flora and fauna.
True connoisseurs of the exotic will also enjoy a tour to China, which, together with the island of Hainan, will simply give you a lot of positive emotions. When traveling around the country, be sure to visit the Chinese Wall, the imperial palaces and parks of Shao-Lin and Beijing.
Where can you vacation without visas in September?
Not all tourist countries require Russians to have a visa. So, when choosing where to go on vacation in September without this important document, we advise you to take a closer look at Turkey and Egypt, although it would be nice to spend time in exotic Cuba. If you don't love hot weather, then you can pack your bags for visa-free Montenegro, and to visit interesting excursions it is better to go to Jordan, Israel or Thailand.
If you wish, you can enter China without a visa, but this is a very troublesome task. It can be accomplished in several ways: by transiting China, with a transfer at the same airport in Beijing, Shanghai, Chengdu, Dalian, Guangzhou or Chongqing (in which case you will only have 72 hours to explore the country), or by obtaining a tourist visa upon arrival at Hailar airport (for 30 days).
Where not to go in September
We have listed countries where you can safely go on vacation in September, however, not all the usual resorts still have comfortable conditions for spending a vacation with the arrival of autumn. For example, in the Maldives in September there is a lot of rainfall (up to 243 mm), so it is likely that when you go here you will spend whole weeks with rain. Of course, it may also happen that the monthly norm of precipitation falls in three days, and then the sun will delight you again, but it’s still not worth the risk. Also, at this time it is better not to plan a vacation in the countries of South and Central America, since in the first case it is very cold there, and in the second it rains constantly.
You shouldn’t go to the usual resorts in Bulgaria, Spain and Croatia in September, since the desired warmth will no longer be there. When choosing a tour, carefully study all the climatic nuances of the area you are going to visit, because bad weather can ruin your entire vacation.
