Marvel at Madeira

There are also some lively wine festivals worth seeking out in Funchal and Estreito de Câmara de Lobos.
Variety in Vancouver
Enjoy the clear, mild September weather in Vancouver and watch the trees begin to change towards their famous fall colours. The city is one of the world’s best adventure playgrounds with its unique mix of sea and ski lifestyles. September is full of plenty of exciting events as well, including two of the city’s most popular events - the Vancouver International Fringe Festival, and the Vancouver International Film Festival.
Sun-seeking in Bulgaria

Bulgaria hosts a bewildering array of musical, religious, and folkloric events throughout the year, and September is no exception. Pick the best time to book your Bulgarian adventure with our range of guides.
