Why book: The seaside resort on the Italian Adriatic has undergone a major facelift in recent years. It has invested heavily and new hotels have been built. The long promenade also shines in new splendor. From September 1 to 3, guests can also enjoy the Easy Fish Festival with culinary specialties around the sea. For four days star chefs create Gourmet Street Food. There will also be tastings and workshops. A Day trip to Venice is worthwhile on the following weekend. Because then takes place the Film Festival statt – der Promifaktor in der Stadt ist entsprechend hoch! Gegen Mitte September wird es ruhiger, den herrlichen Sandstrand teilt man dann mit wenigen Touristen.

Reason to book: New York City is one of those destinations in September 2023 that guarantees absolutely pleasant temperatures. Neither too hot nor too cold you enjoy the Sightseeing in the Big Apple. But even away from the Statue of Liberty and Times Square, there's plenty to experience. From Broadway shows to the New York Film Festival, from the US Tennis Open to the Electric Zoo Festival, the entertainment on offer is almost limitless. Toward the end of the month, walks in Central Park are worthwhile. As the leaves change color, it transforms into an Insta-hotspot. It's the best way to experience the Fall Foliage outside of the then crowded New England!
Where to stay: The Mark Hotel is one of the best addresses in the city. Not only did the first Caviar Kaspia outlet outside Paris recently open here. It also scores with its location right on Central Park, one of the largest hotel suites in the world and a beautiful design.

Reason to book: as a tropical destination, Bali has no seasons. There's only the dry season and the rainy season. The latter begins in October; that means, the best chances of low rainfall are in September. Here, the summer can be extended quite comfortably almost endlessly. That's because the island's beautiful beaches - we're thinking, for example, of Nusa Dua Beach - and laid-back vibe are the epitome of vacation. Surfing, volcano hiking and temple visits provide variety.
Where to stay: The Apurva Kempinski Bali has made a name for itself as aluxurious hotel with a strong focus on sustainability and environmental protection. It's located on the majestic cliff of Nusa Dua. From here, you have a breathtaking view of the Indian Ocean. Pretty cool: the vegetables for the kitchen come from the hotel's own rooftop garden.

Reason to book: the weather in Scotland is said to change four times. Per day! In fact, it can be very changeable in terms of climate. However, September is considered relatively stable. This makes it the ideal travel time for the famous West Highland Way. Because then the many tourists from the summer months have already left and you have the beautiful nature almost to yourself. The route leads from Milngavie near Glasgow to Fort William. It goes 154 kilometers through the Highlands. You should consider planning 5 to 9 days for the hike.
Where to stay: the easiest and most straightforward way to experience the magic of the famous long-distance trail is to book a self-guided tour. Providers are numerous; they take care of the booking of accommodation and luggage transport in advance. One of the experts in this regard is, for example, Wikinger Reisen with offers starting at € 1,098 per person.
