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…

Art has been inspiring bucket lists for centuries. From the Greek epics to Monet’s paintings of Provence, stories of adventures around the world and descriptions of faraway lands have shown up in every medium. Today, we’re inspired to travel through movies and film. Eat, Pray, Love is a perfect example, as is White Lotus. The impact of movies and film can be so significant that destinations will capitalize on the interest and create tours or experiences dedicated to the filming locations. Harry Potter has done this for the UK, Outlander for Scotland, and Game of Thrones for many places, including Croatia. All of these introductions are a great way to dive into new cultures, traditions, and people - go outside of our comfort zones and discover somewhere new that perhaps we weren’t aware existed before.
