[PHOTOS] Top Travel Destinations This Fall

Missed the opportunity to travel during summer holidays? No worries. Breathtaking travel destinations await you this Autumn. Take a look:

1- Kamikochi, Japan


Late autumn is the perfect time to visit Japan according to The Guardian, as the temperature is just right for outdoor activities such as hiking and climbing. Kamikochi, a mountainous region in the Northern Japan Alps of Nagano Prefecture, offers one of the most beautiful autumn spectacles in Japan. This year, Kamikochi is open until November 15 and closes in winter. Grab your ticket asap!

2- Algarve, Portugal



Portugal's Algarve beach destination, which is usually packed with tourists during the summer season, offers a quieter but equally attractive spectacle in autumn at a much cheaper price. In addition to its historical towns, Algarve’s hotel rates can drop by a good half in the months of November and December, according to USA Today. You might want to start saving some money already.

3- Taos, New Mexico


National Geographic added New Mexico’s Enchanted Circle Scenic Byway in Taos to its list of best fall trips for 2014. The place offers breathtaking scenery and a captivating blend of gold fall hues and snowy mountain peaks between the months of September and October. Hurry up!

4-Sardinia, Italy


Sardinia, the second-largest island in the Mediterranean, delivers a charming landscape of sandy beaches and mountain ranges, sprinkled with charming historical stone buildings known as the Neuralgic constructions. Visit the vibrant capital Cagliari, home of the most beautiful sunsets, or take a trip to the mountainous area of Gennargentu known for the richness of its fauna and flora for a cool mountain trip. Sardinia beaches are much quieter and prices much lower if you visit during autumn according to The Telegraph. So why not make use of the opportunity?

5- Prague, Czech Republic


Prague, described by TripAdvisor as the perfect destination for beach-weary vacationers seeking to get absorbed in culture, offers breathtaking red and orange autumn foliage in a fairytale-type bohemian mood. Prague Castle is one of the most prominent features of the city, in addition to the historic Charles Bridge, the metropolitan St. Vitus Cathedral and the medieval Prague astronomical clock. Let the fairy-tale unfold this fall.
