Trip Overview

Sep 19 – 22, 2023: Scotland (3 nights)

Sep 22 – 27, 2023: Paris (5 nights)

☀️
Weather

In the fall, Scotland is likely to experience temperatures ranging from around 8-15°C (46-59°F) from September to November. The colors of autumn are eye-catching and vibrant, as the trees change from green to fiery reds, oranges and yellows.

September temperatures in Paris generally stay firmly in a moderate range, with the only real surprises coming on days when the thermostat soars into the upper 80s and low 90s (31°-34°C). If you're planning a visit during September, do yourself a favor and throw 1-2 articles of hot-weather clothing into your bag.

Paris is a city, a feeling, a lifestyle, and an inspiration. One of the most beautiful cities on earth, where an afternoon spent getting lost in the beauty of one of its famous monuments or strolling its quintessential cobblestone streets is a gift even the most seasoned local will cherish. Known for its incredible shopping, museums, haute cuisine and people watching, Paris is a symbol of polished luxury. However, some of the city's greatest pleasures are its humble ones: a simple brasserie, quiet courtyards, or a freshly baked baguette. While every quarter has its own personality, no matter where you find yourself, the city of lights will always charm you with its rich culture and history, and beckon you to return time and time again.
