A Change ofPace, A NewAdventure

There’s something magical about autumn. As the summer crowds begin to fade, the pace of life slows and the world takes on a new warmth; from golden landscapes and crisp mornings to cosy cafés and unforgettable moments shared with new friends. For many solo travellers, September and October are the perfect months to explore somewhere new. Not because the world stops being exciting after summer, but because autumn offers a different kind of adventure - one where you can take your time, connect with your surroundings and enjoy the journey alongside a group of like-minded people.

At Solos, travelling solo doesn’t mean travelling alone. Our guests choose to book independently, with the freedom to explore the world in their own way, while enjoying the reassurance, friendship and shared experiences that come from travelling as part of a group. And autumn is a season that’s made for discovering all of that.

A slower pace, with more time to enjoy the moment

Summer can often feel like a whirlwind — busy beaches, packed attractions and the pressure to fit everything in. Autumn brings a welcome change of pace. With milder temperatures and a more relaxed atmosphere, there’s more time to truly enjoy each destination. Whether it’s wandering through charming streets, taking in a beautiful viewpoint, enjoying a leisurely lunch or simply soaking up the atmosphere of a local town, autumn invites you to slow down.

For solo travellers, this can make discovering somewhere new feel even more special. There’s time to chat with fellow travellers, share stories over dinner and make connections that turn a holiday into a lasting memory.

Golden landscapes and picture-perfect destinations

Autumn has a way of making already beautiful places feel even more spectacular. The landscape transforms with rich golden colours, vineyards glow in the afternoon sun and countryside walks become unforgettable experiences. It’s the perfect season for exploring destinations at their most scenic — from the rolling hills of Europe to historic towns, coastal escapes and cultural gems.

Whether you’re discovering somewhere completely new or returning to a favourite destination, autumn offers a fresh perspective and countless opportunities to enjoy the beauty around you.

Cosy cafés, local flavours and shared experiences

One of the joys of autumn travel is embracing the little moments. After a day of exploring, there’s nothing quite like finding a cosy café, enjoying a local coffee or sampling regional treats while watching the world go by. It’s a season that encourages you to savour the experience — from discovering local cuisine to enjoying relaxed evenings with your fellow travellers.

With Solos, these are often the moments that become the highlights of a trip. The conversations over dinner, the laughs during an excursion and the friendships formed along the way are all part of what makes travelling as a solo group so special.

Why autumn is a favourite season for solo travellers

September and October offer the perfect balance for those looking to discover the world with a little more ease. The weather is often ideal for exploring, destinations still have plenty of atmosphere, and the slower pace creates more opportunities to enjoy authentic experiences. Whether you’re joining a walking adventure, exploring a new culture, relaxing on a sun holiday or discovering a city break, autumn offers the perfect backdrop.

For many of our guests, choosing a Solos trip is about more than the destination. It’s about having the confidence to take that next step, knowing you’ll be welcomed by people who share your love of travel. You can enjoy the independence of travelling solo, while also having a ready-made group of companions to share the adventure with.

Your next adventure starts this season

There’s never been a better time to explore. Autumn is a season of new beginnings — a chance to try something different, discover somewhere new and create memories with people you may not have met otherwise. So, as the leaves turn golden and a new season begins, why not make this the year you fall back in love with travel?

With Solos, you’ll have the freedom to travel your way, with the friendship and support of a group that understands the joy of exploring the world solo.
