1. San Francisco, CA
And the top spot for the 10 best places to visit in the USA in October is…San Francisco! Yep, and let me tell you why. San Francisco, for the most part, is only just warming up come September when most everyone else in America is just cooling down. This makes San Francisco the best destination for people who have not had enough of summer. This also means that the outdoor events are only just heating up. Start your October vacation with Hardly Strictly Bluegrass at the Golden Gate Park for a free concert, then follow it up two weeks later with the Treasure Island Music Festival! Not much of a music fan? No problem! Take your pick between San Francisco’s choice of harvest festivals, wine tours, fruit picking, pumpkin picking, and maybe even whale watching activities at the Farallon Islands. San Francisco does not run out of food (or drink) options either so explore the famous Ferry Plaza Farmers Market, or head on over to Napa or Sonoma for wine harvest. And if you’re daring, end your October vacay in San Francisco with the Halloween Costume Dash. Aside from these outdoor activities, San Francisco also boasts of hundreds of arts and culture events throughout the month including the San Francisco Dance Film Festival and the annual Litquake for the bibliophiles among us.
