Below are the best locations for a trip from October 8th to October 14th. We’ve taken into account rain, temperature, travel advisories for safety, and number of tourists in the area. In early to mid October each of these places are the perfect balance between temperate weather and smaller crowds, which also translates into better deals for tourists.

Because we’ve located areas and times where there is a greater chance for hotels/flights to be under capacity and weather is likely to be temperate and dry, the best time to book these 10 trips is usually within 1-4 weeks before travel.

1. Rome, Italy

Rome has perfect weather from October 8th to October 14th. The weather is also perfect in the weeks before and ideal in the weeks after. Tourism in the area is slow during this time. Choosing Rome this week is a great choice for anyone looking for nice weather and lower prices.

The graph below shows how temperatures feel given humidity (heat index) and wind chill. Tourist demand is usually the opposite of price: where demand is low prices are too. For Celsius: click the “best time to visit” link below the graphs.

3. Santorini, Greece

Due to the lower number of tourists, a trip to Santorini in early to mid October tends to be much less expensive, and the weather couldn’t be better. This period of ideal weather comes after some similarly enjoyable weather. If booking a longer trip, you’ll want to know that the weather will be almost as enjoyable for the next 30 days. Note that it can get busy here in other seasons.

4. Albufeira, Portugal

As with every place on this list, temperatures in Albufeira feel excellent, rain is infrequent, and there are no travel advisories at the moment. Tourists looking for hotels and flights are very uncommon during this time, so prices may be at their lowest. The many hotels here can fill up, but probably won’t during this period. We could also strongly recommend visiting earlier than this, and the weeks following have weather that is almost as good as early to mid October.

5. Park Central, TX, US

With far fewer travelers booking during this time compared to the busiest months, hotels and airlines will probably offer some incentives to stay during this period. This is a good time to visit, because the weeks earlier are still seasonally less than ideal. If you’re planning to stay for more than a week, you’ll likely find enjoyable weather the whole time.

8. Manassas, VA, US

Manassas would already be less expensive, and this time of year should be even less expensive. Weather in the 4 weeks prior is usually amazing, this week is among the best you can choose for both low crowds and weather, then the weather gets much worse for a few more weeks.

Hershey is almost as pleasant to visit earlier in the year, but early to mid October should be nice each year. Costs during this time should be lower based on the number of visitors. If weather is a major concern, you should plan to stay just the week.
