September is a fantastic month to vacation abroad. No matter the hemisphere, the weather is nice. Since children will be returning to school, there are less crowds. There's also a good chance that prices will be reduced. There may not be a better time to visit the world than now, when the sun shines nearly year-round and brings seasonal events to life. A summary of the top destinations for September travel:

1. Regata Storica in Venice: On the first Sunday in September, the Regata Storica (Historic Regatta) takes place on the canal of Venice, transporting spectators back to 1489. The rowing races are held in honour of Catarina Cornaro, who gave up her throne to Venice as the wife of the Cyprus monarch. Dressed in 16th-century regalia and costumes, the crews and their gondolas race along the Grand Canal from Castello to the abandoned convent of Santa Chiara, where they circle around and return to the finish line at Ca' Foscari. For their efforts, the victorious team receives a red pennant.
    
2. La Mercè in Barcelona: Every September 24, Barcelona, a Mediterranean-style city in Spain, celebrates Our Lady of Mercy (La Mercè). This custom was formalised as a city holiday in 1871. As the celebration gained popularity, new customs were added in 1902, including a parade with papier-mâché giants and a human tower (castell). Over time, more events were added, and as of right now, there are water fountains, wine fairs, pyrotechnics set to music, fun runs, and music at Montjuic Mountain. It has developed into the biggest street celebration in Barcelona.
    
3. In-Gall - Cure Salee: One of the greatest festivals in the world, according to Lonely Planet, is the Cure Salee (Salt Cure) in In-Gall, Niger. Known also as the Festival of the Nomads, it is held in a secluded region of the Sahara and revolves around the Tuareg and Wodaabe people. People congregate at the salt flats to prepare their animals for the upcoming dry season, which coincides with the event that signals the end of the rainy season. Watching cowboys on camels pursue the animals across the desert is an opportunity to witness. In addition, it's a significant social event that attracts singles looking for partners. Decorative men dance till one lonely woman looks at them.
    
4. Hermanus Whale Festival: Hermanus, South Africa, has the greatest land-based whale watching in the world, so if you want to watch whales get seasick while cruising out into the ocean, here is the place to go. They should travel there for the yearly whale festival in late September or early October if they want to see the enormous beasts interact with people. Whales then share the stage with artists and other entertainers in this resort by the sea. As attendees celebrate the arrival of spring in the southern hemisphere, the festival offers food, crafts, and kid-friendly entertainment.
    
5. Greek Islands: While the Olympic Games and the historic ruins in Athens are the most well-known attractions on the Greek mainland, individuals who are drawn to the Greek Islands may find their sandy beaches and clear blue waters more appealing. September still has pleasant weather for touring and tanning. There is less chance of finding crowds, perhaps with the exception of Santorini. Santorini is well-liked all year round because of its stunning churches and ruins. With some of Greece's nicest beaches, the island of Naxos may appeal to sun worshippers.
    
6. Namaqualand: Namaqualand is an arid region that spans the borders of Namibia and South Africa on the west coast of southern Africa. Since September marks the beginning of spring in the southern hemisphere, it's one of the greatest months to travel. For visitors to Namaqualand, this means magnificent flower fields. The most common types of daisies are orange and white, but thanks to winter rains, the usually arid, barren region is now covered in a wide variety of vividly coloured blooms. There are blossoms that are unique to this place in the world, like the pink Cyanella alba, blue Lachanaea filamentosa, and yellow Leucospermum reflexum.
    
7. California: September is a fantastic month to visit California if you want to avoid the heat and congestion. In southern California, summertime highs often reach scorching degrees, but the weather is about to cool off. Since the children are returning to school, families won't be travelling as much. Wine touring is pleasant in the Napa and Sonoma valleys during this time of year because the grapes will be ripening. Additionally, there are some of the clearest days of the year in San Francisco, a city famous for its fog.
    
8. Arezzo - Giostra del Saracino: Arezzo, a city in Tuscany, provides enthusiasts of sports and the Middle Ages with a chance to experience both at the Saracen Joust of Arezzo, which takes place on the first Sunday in September. Known by another name, the Giostra del Saracino, the occasion takes guests back to a period in history when jousting was common. Knights are now galloping towards a wooden figure dressed in armour rather than attempting to knock another knight off his horse. Lead pellets are fired at the knight by the rotating shield of the figure when it is struck. This Italian village is the starting point for a colourful procession of participants that ends where the jousting takes place.
    
9. Braemar Gathering: If the idea of athletic competition mixed with bagpipe music appeals to you, you might want to include the Braemar Gathering in your trip itinerary. These highland games, which take place on the first Saturday in September, feature a range of physically demanding competitions like tug-of-wars, hammer tosses, and hill runs that are sure to leave viewers with weary muscles. Highland music is played by kilted bagpipers. As the Braemer Gathering dates back 900 years to King Malcolm Cranmore, it is reputed to be Scotland's most well-known Highland game and undoubtedly one of the oldest.
    
10. Santa Tecla Fiesta in Tarragona: There are a few unique aspects of Tarragona's Santa Tecla Fiesta that visitors won't discover at other festivities. One is the casteller, in which individuals stack one another to create a massive tower that can have up to nine layers. The Correfoc, often known as fire-running, is another distinctive aspect. Competitors must run over dragons and devils dressed in costume while carrying fire. The festival culminates with this event, which also features a procession of large-headed costumed characters dancing around the town to music played on traditional Catalan instruments.
