As happens every year, summer has (meteorologically speaking) drawn to a close. Gone in the blink of an eye, some might say. But don't look back in anger. Rather than dwell on the barbecues that could have been, the beach trips you should have had, the rainy days when you expected sunshine, you've got to roll with it. Now's the time to slide away into adventure – and there's plenty to be found this season. Maybe you fancy sunshine with a far-flung escape in Hawaii? If so, we've an expert guide to the state's best beaches. Brazil also makes for a brilliant holiday this time of year; here are the best cities and towns to explore. Or you could even go leaf peeping on the eastern edge of the USA.

You don't need to travel half the world away to experience the best of autumnal holidays. As school returns, the crowds thin out across Europe, and if it's warmth you seek, it's still to be found. Destinations such as Cyprus and Malta – we have a fantastic guide to the latter's capital, Valetta – should certainly be on your radar. And as the season goes on, landscapes across the continent blaze with fiery hues, giving new beauty to France's many regions, the golden hills of Tuscany in Italy, and the vineyards of Portugal's Douro Valley. It's a perfect time to get away – here's some inspiration to help you plan.
