The 8 best off-season routes

 

The delights of summer in Europe extend long into the off-season. This means you have plenty of time to plan a carefree holiday in September, October or beyond  – often with shorter lines at attractions and lower prices for accommodations than you’d typically find during the middle of summer. 

 

We made a list of our favourite train routes that will allow you to bask in the sun and enjoy a beach walk or two long after summer ends.

In this itinerary, perfect for travelling during the off-season, you’ll learn how to plan a Slow Food journey of your own, sampling mouth-watering seafood, irresistible tomatoes and other regional specialties along the way.
