Stanfords' Maps, Travel Books, Guides and Travel Information

Make the most of good weather and less crowds in these countries and regions this September. Have an adventure in Bolivia where the dry season allows for overland travel; enjoy the empty beaches in Greece; hike in an ideal climate in Northern Spain’s Picos de Europa; or stride out along Norfolk’s broad beaches.

Where to go when - September 2010

Norfolk

Norfolk’s endless horizons are especially stunning in September, and being exceptionally quiet after the summer crowds have disappeared, you can make the perfect escape. Stride out along sweeping beaches or make the most of ideal sailing conditions on the Broads.

Bolivia

September is one of the most comfortable months for travel in Bolivia, with clear days and dry weather, meaning overland travel is fully possible. Feel like you’re on a different planet on the blinding-white salt flats of Salar de Uyuni, or glide across the serene Lake Titicaca on a reed boat.

Greece

September is the month for emptier beaches, balmy temperatures and lower prices in Greece. Island-hop in the stunning Cyclades with their picturesque whitewashed buildings and blue-domed churches. Hike up wildlife-covered Mount Olympus. Dive into a dreamlike crystalline sea.

Germany - The Black Forest

We all know the song –‘If you in down to the woods today, you are in for a big surprise…’ – well I am yet to see any teddy bears having a picnic in the Black Forest, but you do have a good chance to see the lesser-known black squirrels...

USA – Great Plains

For most Americans, and visitors, North and South Dakota or Nebraska and Iowa are often seen as so-called ‘flyover’ states; places on the way from somewhere to elsewhere; boring flatness between the excitements of the east and west coasts. It is deeply unjust for these great places.
