Tips + Trends


FROM MARIACHI MUSIC TO MAZELIKE MEDINAS, HERE’S WHERE TO TRAVEL IN SEPTEMBER

By  Terry Ward

Marking a return to school and the official end to the lazy days of summer for
many people in the world, September heralds one of the most distinct transitions
of the calendar year.

This is also when off-season rates and fewer crowds can make shoulder-season
travel particularly appealing for people who can wrangle a weekend (or longer)
away.

Here is an appealing list of places to visit in September.

As always, check for travel restrictions and closures before planning your trip.


GUADALAJARA

There’s no bad time of year to visit Mexico’s birthplace of tequila and
mariachi. But September ushers in some of the most pleasant temperatures of the
year in the capital of Jalisco, with Guadalajara’s daytime highs in the 80s and
temperatures that dip into the 60s at night.

The world’s largest celebration of mariachi music takes place here every
September during the 10-day International Mariachi and Charrería Festival that
draws thousands of spectators and hundreds of bands to the city’s streets and
stages.

If you sidle up to just one tequila bar in town, make it Cantina La Fuente,
which has been here since 1921 and draws locals, students and tourists to its
long wooden bar.


BRECKENRIDGE, COLORADO

colors. (Photo: Getty Images)

Sitting 9,600 feet above sea level, the pretty, pedestrian-friendly small town
of Breckenridge sees some of Colorado’s earliest changing leaves, making it a
great option for some early-autumn leaf peeping.

Thick groves of aspen trees get their golden glow starting mid-month and are
best enjoyed with a pumpkin spice latte in hand or while hiking along the more
than 200 miles of trails surrounding town. For drive-through views, the Boreas
Pass Scenic Road is a favorite route for mountain views and tunnels of aspen
trees.

September is also prime fly-fishing season in the area’s many rivers, and
Breckenridge Outfitters can show you the ropes (or, rather, knots).

Mark your calendar for the annual Breck Film Festival this month, too.


ICELAND

Even during the busier summer season in Iceland you can expect four seasons in a
single day.

And while there’s no telling what the weather will be doing on the island come
fall, visiting in September brings mostly mild (compared to winter) temperatures
with an added bonus — the chance to see the northern lights. They’re visible in
Iceland’s skies primarily from September into April before the chills of winter
make you well and truly bundle up.

Iceland’s arctic autumn gets painted in yellows, oranges and reds. It’s perfect
weather for hitting the thermal pools and fjord-front sauna just outside of
downtown Reykjavik at Sky Lagoon (an urban answer to the Blue Lagoon), touring
one of the island’s active volcanoes or snorkeling the glacier fissure at Silfra
(with more than 300 feet of visibility!) withTroll Expeditions.


BONAIRE

Located below the hurricane belt, Bonaire is considered a hurricane-free place
to visit — even while September is still technically storm season elsewhere in
the Caribbean.

Summer crowds have thinned out by this time of year, when you might also get
lucky enough to catch the annual coral spawning event that looks like an
underwater snow storm on Bonaire’s colorful coral reefs (the island is a
paradise for scuba divers year-round, with many sites accessible right from the
shore).

September marks the start of Bonaire’s light season for wind, so newbie
windsurfers might find it better for taking lessons this time of year, too.

Count on lots of celebrating on September 6, Bonaire’s Flag Day, when parades
and parties fill the streets around Kralendijk, the capital city.


FRENCH POLYNESIA

How do we love Tahiti (and Moorea and Bora Bora)?

Let us count the ways — starting with the incredible overwater bungalows, atolls
with the world’s most epic scuba diving, and the tastiest answer to ceviche
ever, called poisson cru (the Tahitians make it with raw fish and fresh coconut
milk).

While you can snorkel with sharks and rays in French Polynesia’s sapphire waters
year-round, these islands are among the only places in the world where you can
actually swim alongside humpbacks.

September is peak calving season for the mammals as they migrate through and
also coincides with the best time of year for whale watching and entering the
water alongside the giants.


IBIZA

Still warm enough for maximizing the island’s beaches but without the full-on
crush of the summertime masses, September is prime time to shine on Spain’s
legendary party island of Ibiza.

Don’t think for a minute that the parties have gone dark this time of year.
September’s schedule of closing fiestas is not to be missed — the island’s
hottest clubs often go out with a bang in the form of surprise guest DJ
appearances.

Detox from the fun with some cycling or walking around the Parc Natural de Ses
Salines — a nature park on the southern tip of Ibiza where hundreds of
flamingoes arrive this time of year to settle in for the winter.


OMAN

Summer’s scorching heat in Oman finally starts to abate a bit in September when
the south coast’s hills are surprisingly lush and green from the khareef (the
southeastern monsoon)

The Sultanate is known for having some of the best snorkeling and scuba diving
in all of the Arab world, with September heralding the start of the season of
the best underwater visibility.

At sites around Muscat, you might even spot sea turtles, mobulas and whale
sharks while finning along the colorful reefs.


MANITOBA, CANADA

Autumn settles into Canada’s Manitoba province in September with a nip to the
clear, crisp air as summer ebbs away.

It’s an atmospheric time to visit Winnipeg to see migrating Canada geese (and
hear their cacophonous sunset calls) along the lakeshore at FortWyhte Alive, a
prairie nature preserve home to bison, with boardwalks and trails to explore.

Make time to visit Winnipeg’s Canadian Museum for Human Rights, which explores
the country’s oppression of its own indigenous people, as well as other powerful
international topics.

When it’s time to relax, dive into a Scandinavian-inspired sauna and thermal
wellness at Thermëa by Nordik Spa-Nature, with its beautiful indoor and outdoor
relaxation areas — including soaking pools, cold plunges, four saunas and an
exfoliation room — all just a few miles from Winnipeg.


FEZ, MOROCCO

Morocco’s most cultural and spiritual city, all rolled into one fascinating
package you can stroll through, Fes is home to one of the best-conserved ancient
medinas in the world.

On UNESCO’s World Heritage List, Fes el Bali’s walled and car-free streets teem
with donkey and human traffic and are busy with souks selling all manner of
spices, food, clothing and souvenirs.

It’s a feast for the senses that’s much more pleasant to partake in once the
scorching temperatures of summer have begun abating in September, when limited
rainfall means mostly blue skies.

Whatever you do during your explorations of the medina, make time to see the
view of the mazelike streets from above at one of the many rooftop cafés and
restaurants offering freshly squeezed orange juice and mint tea brimming with
bunches of the bright-green leaves.


PHUKET, THAILAND

If you’re looking to avoid visiting tropical Thailand at its steamiest,
September is one of the coolest months on Phuket, the country’s largest island.

And while Thailand’s west coast gets its share of monsoon rain this time of
year, blue skies do appear — along with low-season prices and fewer crowds in
many places.

The island’s Chinese community holds the Phuket Vegetarian Festival in
late-September or early October each year, too (it falls during the ninth lunar
month of the Chinese calendar).

A tradition since the 1800s, it brings a carnival-like atmosphere to Phuket’s
streets and temples, full of eye-popping traditions of purification that include
the piercing of body parts with swords, fishing rods and more.
