If the fall is rather boring on your side and the circumstances force you to choose a place to rest during this month … Where should you go in October… especially if the state of your wallet does not limit you in choosing the tour?
Of course, most prefer to warm their bones on the sunny beaches of the marine waters. Since the sea – and it is in Africa is a sea, literally and figuratively. And if we are talking about Africa, it is preferable to all – Egypt! In October, the air temperature at the local beach is less than 30, water – 25-26. Paradise and not only!
Egypt is in the North Africa. Here during the entire fall the weather is albeit warm. And at the same time in South Africa they have high temperature air and water should be multiplied by the spring sunshine, the fragrance of flowering tropical gardens and stunning beauty of these exotic places. What are some names? Well, Sun City, Johannesburg, Cape Town, the river Zambezi, Victoria Falls!
October and will please the admirers of the Eastern exoticism. For the East – it is not only cool but warm. Well, where is East Asia’s coolness combined with European comfort? In the UAE – will be the answer to you. United Arab Emirates – is aquamarine expanse of the Arabian Gulf- flowering gardens in the sands, cool pool, shops flooded with cheap goods. Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Fujairah, Sharjah, Ras Al Khaimah – splash of emerald-green ocean waves, scratching azure sky, the huge ancient minarets and ultramodern skyscrapers. However, tourists planning to have a vacation in the UAE, must remember one this- that it is the heart of the Muslim East, and traditions are sacred. Alcohol is difficult to get even at the fantastic prices, and this year the holy month of Ramadan begins on October 4. This means that within a month the tourists will not see the entertainment shows and celebrations. However, tourists in Dubai are expected to have a lottery holiday and elegant illumination that adorns the city nightlife, decorated in the style of Arabian tales.
Wonderful October can be spent also in Tunisia. Tunisia is an ancient coliseum, the sacred temples of the immortal Carthage. It is the “white sun” in the Sahara, shady groves of date palms and spicy scent of jasmine in the life-giving oases of coolness … Tunisia – a tender bliss of the sea, sugar-sand beaches, opal pools, marble hotels … Beaches and Casino Sousse, the centers of Oriental Medicine in Hammamet, quiet streets and pubs of Mahdia , the traditional October Carthage Film Festival (every odd year) – those are also in Tunisia.
Not familiar to the East and South-east Asia? Just get there! Especially in October. Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Myanmar, Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam – there are volumes written about these ancient countries, but they are not in a silt to pass all their exoticism, and beauty, customs and rituals, the peculiarity of the national cuisine, a philosophical attitude to all parties life, not excluding the sensual …

But we should not lose sight of the Europe. And here is what to rejoice in October. First and foremost, of course, in countries with a mild Mediterranean climate such as Turkey, Greece, Spain, Italy, Portugal, southern France.
But those who prefer beach to the creak of snow on the mountain slopes of the Alps and will not go there in October are losers anyways. Lovers of winter sports will find joy and solace in the style of old small hotels in the Swiss and Austrian Alps, in the morning reveling in the wind whistling in your ears and an elastic sense of the speed of the striker in the face of wind, and in the evening sitting with a glass of sweet port wine in the hotel lobby with fireplace… All of this is too romantic… but at the same time too realistic….
European capitals are the best places for sightseeing tourism and that’s why nobody cares whether it’s October in the yard, April or July. In fact: wandering the streets of Vienna, Berlin, London, Paris, Warsaw, Budapest, Prague numerous tourists with those philosophy somehow not up to the time of the year: moving with little steps worn paving roadways, they listen to the pace of history and have indirect conversations with Cromwell, Bismarck , Bonaparte, Beethoven, Mozart, Chopin, Liszt, Goethe, Schiller, Hasek …
It would be really shameful not to sing an ode for the final praise of the oldest and most beloved peoples of all nations with a cup of beer. Beer! It’s considered to be the drink of the month. Honestly, it deserves to spend a vacation studying the history of cooking, geography, traditional brewing regions associated with the manufacture and consumption of beer centuries and old traditions. Beer festivals – an integral part of everyday life of people in Germany, England, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia and other European countries.
Take, for example, the annual Munich Oktoberfest, traditionally taking place in late September-early October in the city, rightfully considered the world capital of amber drunk refreshing! The festival has been held in the third century in the same place: in the meadow of Theresienwiese.
Spread out on the vast expanse of tents it can accommodate up to 7 thousand people. Especially for this festival, and once a year is brewed a special beer, called “curvature” – the one that chose the founder of the feast, who ruled in the early XIX century-King Ludwig I. In 1810, King Ludwig publicly celebrated his marriage to a respectable young lady Teresa von Zaksenhildburghauzen, and a celebration was delayed by more than two weeks. From this day the custom every year to celebrate the holiday beer here is firmly entrenched in tradition and for nearly two centuries has never been broken.
