Bring out those sweaters because fall weather is perfect for exploring, whether it's a city or a national park. Not too hot, yet not too cold either, you can explore to your heart's content in a comfortable climate. You won't have to worry about breaking a sweat, and you also won't have to jam bulky sweaters and coats in your suitcase. A true win-win.

Traveling in the fall means avoiding summer crowds, as kids are back in school and many spend their vacation days on summer travel. That means you can forget about making dinner reservations, waiting in lines, or elbowing your way through hordes of other tourists to snap a pic of a popular attraction.
