Northern Exposure: Our Best Autumn Destinations

Why go south when the weather cools? The shoulder season is perfect for travel, and mild temperatures and fewer crowds mean that you get more bang for your buck when you venture forth. While northern port cities are eminently appealing year-round, they're especially engaging when the leaves are changing, the light is shifting, and an anticipatory energy swells with the advent of the holiday season.

Discover our top choices for travel this fall. We'll take you to less-trod maritime cities and showcase sights and geographies you may not have considered before. Bring a jacket? Sure, come prepared. Don't let a chill in the air prevent you from taking advantage of great opportunities in upper latitudes.
