The Best European Cities to Visit in September
Whether you’re planning a city break over a long weekend or an extended getaway, September is a fantastic time to travel in Europe. Book your place now with one of these Culture Trip adventures.
Temperatures are still pleasant, but not as swelteringly hot as they are in the middle of summer, and the crowds are smaller than in peak season. From Mediterranean gems in the west to Istanbul and Tbilisi, in the far east, we’ve selected the top destinations in Europe to visit in September with Culture Trip.
Central Europe, for city-hopping by train
Why restrict yourself to one city, or even one country, when Europe’s intertwining rail networks mean that you can journey across the continent’s most charming medieval cites in just ten days with Culture Trip. Start in Berlin, as surrounded in history as it is peppered with thriving cultural scenes, before hopping onboard the train to Prague. We’ll explore the city’s gorgeous old town and sip beers at a local craft brewery before continuing to Vienna. We’ll dine on schnitzel and sachertorte in between glimpses of classical music heritage and sophisticated architectural standouts before visiting the underrated Slovakian capital, Bratislava, and ending our trip in Budapest. Mark the end of your Central European epic by soaking in the city’s thermal baths and reflecting over drinks at a trendy ruin bar.
