During the autumn, the days get shorter, temperatures drop and the pace of life goes down a little. But it’s also the season where the globe gets wrapped up in the most spectacular colours.

“”The leaves are falling off the trees in Novosibirsk”- sounds like a sentence in a spy novel, but it’s also a reminder that a long cold winter is round the corner in Novosibirsk, Russia – also known as Capital of Siberia.

Paris – France

Paris is always a good idea and people are always a little bit more chic here than elsewhere. Just take a stroll in Jardim du Luxemburg on an autumn day and see for yourself.

The mountains around the former coal mining town, Crested Butte, in Colorado, USA, are a popular destination for skiing and extreme sport enthusiasts (locals claim that the sport of mountainbiking was invented here), but they are also a perfect destination for those seeking stunning landscapes and spectacular harvest hues.

Iceland has much more to offer than volcanoes, of course, with many lava landscapes and hot springs. The capital, Reykjavik, is buzzing and during autumn dazzles with a reddish-brown skyline.

A leaf with a view! In Montreal the autumn foliage is particularly picturesque and stupendous. In this part of Canada (Quebec) not only do the trees reveal yellow, gold and orange in autumn, they also turn fiery tones of red, as well. An excellent place for leaf-peepers.
