7 reasons Kerala belongs on your 2026 list
Backwaters, Ayurveda and hill-station tea trails — here's why God's Own Country still steals hearts, and how to see the best of it in a week.
India · Guide
'Best time to visit Europe' depends on whether you optimise for weather, crowds or budget. Here's how each season actually feels.
Spring (April–May): the sweet spot — flowers, fewer crowds, moderate prices, occasionally rainy. Our most-recommended window.
Summer (June–August): long days, festivals, peak crowds, peak prices. The mountain regions stay pleasant; the southern Mediterranean is hot.
Autumn (September–October): the second sweet spot — golden light, vineyard harvest, prices dropping, sometimes wet.
Winter (November–February): dark and cold but magical — Christmas markets in December, ski regions full, light crowds, lowest prices. The Northern Lights season runs January–March.
Don't go in: mid-August when locals close shop (especially France/Italy), mid-November when many sites are between seasons.
India-specific note: Schengen visas are slower in peak summer; apply 8 weeks ahead.
