7 Best Places to Travel in Fall, from Upstate Cabins to French Vineyards
Amber-colored foliage, winding vineyards ready for harvest, a slight chill in the air that lends itself perfectly to a long day of sight-seeing (made even more perfect when it ends with a cozy bowl of risotto)… autumn may actually be the perfect travel season. Whether you want to book a country escape or lean towards a packed city itinerary, the best places to travel in fall are hardly a one-size-fits-all list. Neither are our recommendations: We included destinations far and wide, with plenty of stays that speak to a range of travel styles. Nature lovers will find lots to occupy themselves with in the sprawling Scottish Highlands or the lakeside hikes of Upstate New York. (Though if your idea of the great outdoors leans more to swirling glasses of Merlot among unending rows of grapes, a trip to Bordeaux or Tuscany might be more your speed.) For a dose of city charm, head to Kyoto to get your fill of historic architecture and buzzing markets. And if you're still not sure—well, you know what they say about Paris. Ahead, seven fall travel destinations for your next getaway. Upstate New York From Hudson Valley to the Catskills to the Finger Lakes up North, there's so much to explore in this region you may just have to slot in multiple weekend trips. (Cue the tiny violin.) Design magpies can make a whole itinerary based off the antiquing alone–from flea markets to standalone shops, you'll find no shortage of one-of-a-kind treasures to fill your home with. Prefer something more outdoorsy? The Catskill and Adirondack Mountains are prime spots for hiking with sweeping views. Courtesy The Six Bells The Hotel to Book The just-opened Six Bells Countryside Inn is a haven of cottagecore charm— and the perfect home base for your stint upstate. Between the folksy patchwork quilts and on-site 'tavern,' the quaint touches add up to quite the transportive experience. Courtesy Airbnb The Airbnb to Book For more space, an Airbnb gives you room to spread out. Right off the Hudson River in the town of Saugerties, this mid-century modern home can sleep up to six guests and is surrounded by trees for maximum seclusion. You'll want to spend each night huddled around the fire pit. Tuscany The tree-dotted rolling hills of the Tuscan countryside only get more charming with a gold wash come autumn. It's the season of the Vendemmia (the grape harvest) so plan accordingly and book a couple afternoon wine tours to break up lazy days spent strolling around Medieval towns like Lucca and San Gimignano. And if it's hearty fall fare you're after, a local cooking class where you can learn to roll pici from scratch is always a good idea.

I ditched New York City for upstate and found hundreds of vineyards, NASCAR racing experiences & world famous waterfalls
STANDING on Hurricane Deck with water whipping around me and Niagara Falls thundering behind, I'm experiencing a different side of New York. Most visitors cram into Manhattan, but New York City takes up just 0.56 per cent of the entire state. 6 6 6 Beyond the concrete jungle of America's most populated city lie vineyards, breweries, lakes, a whole lot of classic US charm and, of course, those famous falls. Upstate New York, despite its high-end reputation, is also much kinder on your wallet. The cost of two days in the city is equivalent to about six days outside when it comes to accommodation, dining and activities. My journey began in Syracuse, in the heart of the Finger Lakes region — a lush green area known for its scenic beauty and more than 1,600 vineyards. Without much persuasion, I stopped at a few to sample the local produce — I had a tipple at Anyela's vineyard and the Beak & Skiff brewery, which had very tasty ciders. A half-hour drive away is Skaneateles (pronounced skinny atlas), one of the region's most exclusive spots. Lake Skaneateles is said to be the cleanest in the world, but what really stands out is the shorefront, which is full of sprawling manors with sweeping lawns, guest houses and boat garages. It's a popular place for celebs, with former President Bill Clinton and his family known to holiday there. Just south of Syracuse lies Watkins Glen, which looks like a Hallmark movie set until you hear the roar of engines. The charming village is home to the Watkins Glen International track, where Formula 1 raced for 20 consecutive years from 1961 to 1980 before Nascar took over. Martin Lewis warns about strict passport rule that could see you board your flight - only to get sent home on arrival I had a ride in the back of a pace car for a speedy lap (in motorsport, a pace car leads the racers in warm-up laps). And I saw a bright yellow American school bus — full of grinning students — tear around, too. Turns out that anyone can give it a try. You can even take your own car, or bus, for a spin. Rochester, a mid-sized city on the southern shore of Lake Ontario, was once a boom town built on flour mills and photography — it's the birthplace of Kodak. These days, it's better known for the Strong National Museum of Play, a huge, hands-on museum dedicated to toys, games and childhood. Here, I attempted (and failed) to beat other players at Pac-Man and gazed at an enormous collection of Barbie dolls that my five-year-old self would have loved. From there, I headed west to my final, and favourite, stop: Buffalo. Sitting where the Buffalo River meets Lake Erie, it proved that the state's 61 cities beyond NYC are also well worth exploring. Screams of delight I followed the riverfront past guided missile cruiser USS Little Rock, through Veterans Memorial Park, and on past the restored 1920s carousel at Canalside, where families queued for a ride. The standout spot, though, was RiverWorks — a creative reinvention of old grain silos, now home to ziplines, climbing walls, a big wheel, kayaking and lively bars. Buffalo is also the gateway to Niagara Falls, just a short drive away. I arrived at night to see the illuminations, a spectacle in itself. 6 6 6 But at that point I didn't quite grasp the full power of the famous waterfalls. The next day, I saw them in all their glory. Looking like a blue penguin in my oversized anorak, I boarded the Maid Of The Mist tourist boat to get closer to the thundering cascade. At first, the boat bobs along at a glacial pace. Then, after a light spray of water, the full force of the falls hits. Picture screams of delight, anoraks flapping and thousands of gallons of water crashing into the river below. If you want to feel it properly, head to the top deck. Prefer to stay dry? Stick to the lower level. The boat tour is a must — and so is the Cave Of The Winds. This attraction is a series of wooden walkways leading right to the base of Niagara's Bridal Veil Falls and up to the Hurricane Deck, where the water spray slams sideways and where standing still is a feat in itself. I managed to hold my pose just long enough for a photo, before stumbling away, soaked and buzzing with adrenaline. The Big Apple is a bucket-list must, of course, but don't forget to take a bite out of the rest of New York State, too.

Melina Frattolin, 9-year-old girl found dead after N.Y. Amber Alert, died by drowning, medical examiner says
New York State Police have released the cause of death of the 9-year-old girl who was reported missing in Upstate New York over the weekend, sparking an Amber Alert. An autopsy determined Melina Frattolin's cause of death was asphyxia due to drowning, and the manner of her death was a homicide, New York State Police said. Melina's father Luciano Frattolin, 45, faces second-degree murder and concealment of human corpse charges in the case. Melina's body was found in a pond in the town of Ticonderoga Sunday morning after her father reported her missing Saturday night. Luciano Frattolin initially told police he had pulled over in a parking lot to urinate and while he was away from the car, Melina was abducted by two men in a white van. Police said after a thorough investigation of that claim, they determined it never happened. Police are asking for the public's help as they continue to investigate the incident. Specifically, they want to hear from anyone who might have been on the I-87 Northway between Exits 28-20 Saturday night who might've seen or made video of the vehicle Melina and her father were traveling in — a gray 2024 Toyota Prius. Police released an image of the car. Anyone with information is asked to call 518-873-2750. You can also submit a tip by emailing crimetip@ New York State Police said Melina and her father legally travelled to the U.S. from Montreal for vacation on July 11, and were expected to return home on July 19. Melina lived with her mother in Montreal, and her mother and father had been estranged since 2019. Melina spoke with her mother at around 6:30 p.m. Saturday, New York State Police said, and did not give any indication of being under duress. New York State Police believe Luciano Frattolin murdered his daughter sometime after that phone call, and before he called 911 with a fake Amber Alert claim at around 10 p.m. The motive remains under investigation. Luciano Frattolin has pleaded not guilty. He has no criminal record, police said, and no background of domestic violence.
