1. Seoul, South Korea

Autumn lends a sense of romance that permeates the very air of Seoul, making it arguably one of the best times to visit South Korea's famed capital. This is when Seoul's ginko tree-lined avenues and promenades are awash with brilliant shades of yellow, brown and red ?

Based on 2016's fall forecast, autumn peaks around the end of October, so be sure to plan your visit accordingly! Do also look out for the 2017 fall forecast when it comes out later this year.

4. Lombok, Indonesia

Sometimes you just need to give yourself a good island vacay to relax those tired muscles (especially at the end of a long year!) But there's no need to go all the way to the Caribbean for that--with its crystal clear turquoise waters and white sandy beaches, Lombok is the perfect destination for that much-needed island getaway ?

Credit: @arieritonga on Instagram Head down between October and November to take advantage of the off-season perks: cheaper accommodation rates and lesser crowds! The weather is also much more pleasant during these months; rainy season in Lombok is much drier than nearby Bali, with lesser rainfall. You won't need to worry about the weather being a dampener (get it?) ?

Credit: @bimariv on Instagram #HHWT Tip: Weather forecasts for Lombok in October and November are mostly sunny with very little rainfall, but do check again before you go ? Save yourself the hassle of researching and check out our 3D2N Lombok itinerary, perfect for that island getaway!

5. Melbourne

If warmer climates are more your thing even during the generally colder end-of-year weather, then a trip to the land down under will give you exactly what you're looking for ? While most of the world experiences autumn, winter, or the wet season at the end of the year, Australia greets the balmy weather of spring from September to November!

Credit: Chris Phutully on Flickr Visit the Tesselaar Tulip Festival for a spectacular show of tulips in pink, white, orange, purple and more ? Every spring, almost a million tulips go on display here, so it's definitely worth a visit. It's almost a crime not to visit Melbourne's popular Brighton Beach for some fun under the sun. Be sure to snap that picture-perfect, insta-worthy shot of the colourful bathing boxes lining the beach!

6. Switzerland

There's really no better time to visit Switzerland than in winter, when the whole country transforms into a snowy-white winter wonderland! Just picture yourself making snow angels and building snowmen in all that snow ?

Credit: Ben Freeman on Flickr In any case, a trip to one of the most peaceful countries in the world won't do you any harm now, will it? ? Stay in one of Switzerland's traditional wooden houses for an authentic Swiss experience, or hop onto the Glacier Express to catch the most scenic wintry views of the Swiss Alps!

Winter starts quite late in Switzerland (during the second half of December), so be sure to plan your visit to coincide with it ?

7. London, U.K.

Ah, the land of tea and biscuits! ? London is one of those destinations that you fall in love with and never want to leave, if you had your way.

Go on a walk through one of London's abundant parks, stroll through the picturesque Little Venice, or explore London's quiet boroughs at the peak of autumn ?

8. Andalusia, Spain

From the exquisite Alhambra in Granada to the stunning Real Alcazar in Seville, the grandeur and magnificence of Muslim Spain is definitely unforgettably breathtaking. #HHWT Tip: The Nasrid Palaces within the Alhambra are especially stunning at night, when the whole place seems to glow with an otherworldly beauty ?

Credit: www.twin-loc.fr on Flickr October is the best time to visit Andalusia, when the temperatures are more pleasant than in the searing heat of the busy summer months. Watch a flamenco performance, head up to the Sierra Nevada mountains for a bit of skiing, or be awed by the splendour of the Muslim architecture of Spain's buildings! ?

9. Auckland, New Zealand

Just like neighbouring Melbourne, Auckland's springtime only comes around towards the end of the year, so if you're looking for a relaxing year-end holiday that won't leave you freezing, this is your best choice ?

Credit: russellstreet on Flickr Here's a lesser known secret: if you missed your chance to catch the sakura blossoms in Japan and South Korea earlier this year, you can still catch them in Auckland from September to December! ? And as if that isn't enough, you can also head over the Great Barrier Island to have those gorgeous beaches all to yourself.

10. Iceland

Seeing the emerald green glow of the Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights) is definitely something you HAVE to have on your bucket list! ? The surreal landscapes of Iceland hold some of your best chances at catching this once-in-a-lifetime natural light show, especially from October onwards.

Even without the Northern Lights, a visit to Iceland is worth it just to take in its awe-inspiring natural beauty, be it the many silk-like waterfalls or the vast fields of lush greenery.
