9. San Antonio, TX
While October is still too early for fall foliage in San Antonio (or anywhere in Texas for that matter), San Antonio is still teeming with a variety of activities that couples, families, and even backpackers can enjoy. As with Orlando, the usual crowds are absent this time of the year so theme parks like Six Flags are a breeze. But if that’s not your thing, San Antonio’s slightly cooler temperatures, with average highs of 82 degrees Fahrenheit, and average lows of 60.1 degrees Fahrenheit, will make exploring the historic districts more pleasant than in summer. Aside from the harvest-themed farm events, the best things about Octobers in San Antonio are the cultural extravaganza – the centerpiece of which is the Dia de Los Muertos celebrations at the end of the month.
