No school-aged children? Swoop in on those end-of-summer deals! Here’s who September holidays are perfect for.
The heat of summer sticks around in September so, if you’re a sunworshipper, you can bask all day without fighting for a lounger. Beaches, resorts, bars and restaurants will be quieter as the peak season crowds have disappeared so savvy sunseekers can enjoy a more laid-back break at a cheaper price than just a few weeks before.
September and city breaks are a dream combo – like strawberries and cream. Balmy temperatures make exploring and al-fresco drinks at the end of the day joyful, while thinner crowds than in July and August mean there’s no fighting for a spot in cultural attractions and restaurants. Enjoy your destination at your own pace.
Yes, September is a great time to go on holiday if you’re not restricted to travelling in the school break. As UK schools go back at the beginning of the month, holiday prices tend to get cheaper but temperatures remain high enough to swim and sunbathe in Europe.
Yes, as the school holidays in England and Wales end in early September, holidays are generally cheaper than those in August. This is because in July and August, millions of families want to travel at the same time causing prices to peak. Prices tend to go back down in September.
Much of Europe is still hot in September as are further-flung destinations such as Florida and the Maldives. Places that are hot for a European beach break include the Costa Blanca and Santorini, while Lisbon has average temperatures of 23°C – ideal conditions for a city break.
Yes, September is ideal for a couples’ holiday as families tend to travel in July and August during the school summer holidays.
