It’s officially one week until fall, even if the weather hasn’t quite gotten the memo yet here in Chicago. While these summer temperatures are sticking around, we’ll be dreaming of crisp fall days perfect for cozy adventures. From the historic streets of Innsbruck and Mexico City to the peaceful quiet of the Oregon coast and a small town in the Canadian Rockies, we’ve put together a list of places across the globe to look forward to this coming season. But honestly, any of these spots make for a memorable trip regardless of the time of year. Start planning, and get ready to take off…

Summer isn’t for everyone. We know, we know…it’s a small group of individuals. But they exist, nonetheless. In our defense, the heat waves and heat domes are overachieving this year with record-breaking temperatures across the US and Europe. With this in mind, July through September is perfect for those who favor cooler weather to go south…WAY south. The southern hemisphere is in the thick of winter, so destinations like Peru and Australia are much more temperate if the heat isn’t your speed. If staying north of the equator is more realistic, plenty of destinations have milder summers for a “coolcation,” especially in northern Europe and the upper reaches of North America (although check the forecast to pack appropriately).
