1. Amsterdam, Netherlands
Shorter and cooler days in October (47°F – 58°F) means simply that a lot of events might take place indoors. Still there are many things to do, which place Amsterdam high on our list. Music lovers can dance and party at Amsterdam Dance event or AMF Amsterdam which is one of the biggest dance music festivals. Fans of electronic music will have a blast. Youngest family members can participate in Cinekid Festival, designed especially for kids. Amsterdam also offers six days of film fun with KLIK Amsterdam Animation Festival featuring a wide selection of top-quality animated films. Read my World festival is the best place for those who wish to explore the boundaries of literature and journalism. According to I am Amsterdam website, the atmosphere around Amsterdam Marathon is amazing with more than 40,000 people gathering to complete the race or cheer for their loved ones. Halloween celebrations are a big deal in Amsterdam so you might want to pack some nice costumes if you plan to attend Amsterdam Halloween Festival. If you are for a more relaxed version, you can always chill with some space cakes. Despite lower temperatures, Amsterdam has a lot to offer (we mentioned a couple of ideas), which is why we put it in the first place on our list of best places to travel in October in Europe, Asia and tropical destinations.
