Cities in Europe to visit during the end of October?

Accepted answer

Sevilla should be very nice, and you can organize a trip to Cordoba and/or Granada if you wish. Note that if you want to see Alhambra in Granada you should really book tickets over Internet more than a month before travel.

I visited Sarajevo in Mid-october 2010, the weather was great (clear blue sky, temperature around 10°C). This is a great city if you're interested in ancient or recent history, people are very friendly there, it is very cheap, and you won't be annoyed by huge groups of tourists.

I could recommend you visiting Sevilla-Córdoba-Granada-Málaga (Andalusia)

Sevilla http://travelinginspain.com/sevilla/sevilla.htm

Granada (Alhambra and San Nicolás viewpoint)http://travelinginspain.com/granada.htm

Málaga http://travelinginspain.com/testweb.html

Córdoba http://travelinginspain.com/cordoba.html

The weather is sunny very often. The places to eat and drink usually are cheap (tapas) and the food is delicious and there are a wide range of accomodations.

No mention for Oktoberfest yet? Munich has an annual beer festival if that's your thing. Also, I don't know any but I'd be surprised if Russia didn't do something for October. Thirdly, October is Black History Month in the UK.

My top three choices for a quick trip would be (in no particular order):

1) Rome 2) Prague 3) Palermo (in Sicily - you can travel around the island easily)

What about Zagreb or Ljubliana? There is a daily night train from Zurich to these places. The train goes on to Belgrade. But that will last more than 20 hours. Maybe a bit too much if you want to go on a journey for 3 or 4 days.

For Ljubliana, fares start at 39 EUR, one way in a couchette.

Depends on where in Europe you will be, of course, and what you have seen already. I'd tend to cities at the Mediterranean at this time of the year that are protected by mountains - Barcelona is nice, Tuscany (Florence et al), Rome, or Athens.

If you are interested in Ireland I would recommend Cork or Dublin which may be the easiest to get to depending on where you are coming from.

Given the time of year however, avoiding rain might be difficult and southern Europe might be a better bet.

Italy in October is lovely!

Temperatures in October vary depending on where you are in Italy, but as a general rule of thumb these are the ranges: 

Northern Italy: 45-65°F (7-18°C)
Central Italy: 55-70°F (13-21°C)
Southern Italy: 65-75°F (18-24°C)

Having visited Venice, Florence and Rome in October, the weather is still very comfortable...A few rain sprinkles here and there but nothing crazy. Temperature is perfect for walking around and site seeing. There are also a number of amazing food festivals in Italy during that time!
