6 Fall Destinations Worth Traveling For 🍂

There’s something different about New York in the fall.

The summer humidity disappears, Central Park starts changing colors and suddenly spending an entire day walking around the city sounds like a great idea again.

Crewfare tip: Pick your neighborhood based on what you want to do most. Staying near the majority of your itinerary can save a lot of time during a short NYC weekend.

There’s celebrating Halloween — and then there’s celebrating Halloween in Salem.

The Massachusetts city leans all the way into spooky season with haunted history, historic homes, ghost tours and Halloween events throughout October.

Crewfare tip: October is Salem’s moment. The closer you get to Halloween, the more important it is to lock in accommodations ahead of time.

Who says coastal trips are only for summer?

Portland combines crisp New England weather with waterfront views, incredible seafood and easy access to Maine’s fall foliage.

Crewfare tip: Give yourself enough time for a coastal drive outside the city. Some of the best parts of a Portland fall trip happen beyond downtown.

For fall with a mountain backdrop, head south to Asheville.

Set in the Blue Ridge Mountains, Asheville combines colorful mountain scenery with hiking, breweries, restaurants and a creative downtown.

Crewfare tip: Split your itinerary between downtown and the mountains to get the best of both sides of Asheville.

Sometimes the perfect fall trip is simply getting out of the city.

The Hudson Valley delivers cozy inns, farm-to-table restaurants, orchards, wineries and some seriously good fall foliage.

Crewfare tip: This is the trip to lean into a cozy stay. Look for boutique properties and hotels surrounded by nature to make the accommodations part of the experience.

If you’re traveling for fall colors, Stowe belongs at the top of the list.

Surrounded by Vermont’s Green Mountains, Stowe transforms into a sea of red, orange and gold during peak foliage season. Spend the day driving scenic mountain roads, hiking to a viewpoint or exploring downtown before settling into a cozy dinner.

Crewfare tip: Fall foliage weekends can fill up quickly, so this is one destination where booking your stay early pays off.
