Oktoberfest kicks off the first day of fall in classic German fashion. The two-week festival began as a wedding celebration in Munich more than 200 years ago, and it’s now celebrated all over the world. Visitors can expect to enjoy endless pints beer, Bavarian music, and traditional clothing like lederhosen!
Budapest, Hungary
Once the summer heat starts to fade, savvy travelers flock to Budapest to witness its autumn charm.
