There\u2019s something about October that makes you want to get away. Just as you\u2019re pulling a jacket out of the closet, you could be planning a few days by the sea, a city break exploring markets, or that longer trip you couldn\u2019t fit into August.<\/p>\n

The question is where to travel in October to make the most of your time, your budget and the kind of trip you\u2019re in the mood for<\/strong>. Chasing the sun, exploring a city and seeing forests in their fall colors are three very different vacations.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve picked five destinations: Marrakech, Istanbul, Madeira, Lanzarote and Japan<\/strong>. For each one, you\u2019ll find a suggested trip length, planning tips and a detail worth checking before you book. Think of these as ideas for enjoying your time there, rather than a schedule you have to follow.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>\n\t\t

Count the days you can actually enjoy, not just hotel nights.<\/strong> Arriving late and leaving before dawn can turn four nights into barely three full days. For Japan, allow extra time for international flights too.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>\n\t\t

1. Marrakech: a change of scenery in just a few days<\/strong><\/h3>\n

If your ideal getaway involves wandering through courtyards and gardens and lingering over a good meal, put Marrakech on your list. For October, we\u2019d suggest three or four full days<\/strong>, with time to take a break between visits.<\/p>\n

The medina, souks and gardens are among the highlights in the official Marrakech travel guide<\/strong><\/a>. Instead of treating them as a checklist, build each day around one area and one or two main sights.<\/p>\n
