#1 Northern Ireland

There is something wonderful
about a walk through Northern
Ireland’s kaleidoscope of coloured
forests, glens and coastlines in
autumn. Branded as Game of
Thrones territory, Northern Ireland
is home to Seven Kingdoms’
countless filming locations. For
instance, the Dark Hedges located
along Bregagh Road (also known as
the “King’s Road” in Game of
Thrones) is a tree tunnel lined by overarching 300-year-old beech trees that reach to the skies in all their golden glory. There are also numerous Autumn Walking Festivals in the Northern Ireland where visitors can feast their eyes on nature’s gold.

British Airways flies non-stop eight times per day from London Heathrow to Belfast. Take a bus or a train from Belfast International Airport to County Antrim to reach these locations.

#2 Scotland

Autumn in Edinburgh is perfect for walks within the city as the city’s tree-lined streets and parks turn golden brown. The Princes Street Gardens in the city centre is the perfect place to snap insta-worthy shots, especially when leaves and foliage are changing into their autumn suits. Not to be missed is the picture-perfect view of Edinburgh Castle against a luscious red and brown backdrop. For a romantic take of Edinburgh, head over to The Meadows located at the south of the city. There visitors can walk on tree-lined paths splashed in colours both above and underfoot – the perfect place to line up their Instagram.

British Airways offers a special all-inclusive fare from Kuala Lumpur to Edinburgh via London Heathrow from just RM2,918.*

#3 Netherlands

The period between September and November is known by experienced travellers as the most magical time to visit Amsterdam. It is the time where the city’s landscape is covered in hues of orange and brown, while restaurants and bars lining the canals and parks bustle with people out to enjoy the crisp cool autumn air. Autumn is also when a variety of popular cultural festivals take place throughout the city. The best way to absorb it all is to sail down Amsterdam’s canals. If you prefer to go at your own pace, find a spot in one of the city’s many parks and enjoy a leisurely afternoon people watching.

Make Amsterdam your next destination by taking advantage of British Airways’ promotional fares from London to Amsterdam starting from RM2,306.

#4 Italy

Every season has its unique charms but there is something absolutely special about autumn in Italy. Temperature begins to drop, the colours come out in the countryside, some of the best produce of the season hits the markets; best of all, little Italian towns from Puglia to Lombardia blossom with festivals.

Visitors can take the opportunity to tour Italy’s parks and trails and enjoy the changing leaves or try some classic Italian adventures like hiking in the Apennines in le Marche, Abruzzo or Umbria. September is the month of grape harvest in Tuscany, and a perfect time to enjoy a glass of equisite Italian wine at a winery. In some parts of Italy, such as Sicily, the weather stays warm well into the fall so beach lovers can enjoy the last of summer on a vibrant, sunny beach.

To experience the diversity of Italy, visitors can fly British Airways to Rome via London Heathrow seven times a day. The special all-inclusive fares to Rome start from RM2,356*.

#5 USA

New England is famous for its
glorious autumn foliage which is
truly a feast for the eyes. The
leaves start turning colours
typically around mid-to-late
September and peaking around
mid- October in the northern
regions whilst the more southern
states colour later and often lasts
till mid-November. Autumn is the
best time to set out on
adventurous road trips across New England – traversing Massachusetts, Maine, Vermont, Connecticut, and New Hampshire. Just bear in mind that it is a very busy period with the influx of “leaf peepers”.

Visitors from Malaysia can now fly to Boston via London on British Airways.
