Off-Peak Travel
September 26, 2006 by Glenn
Italy in January. London in April. Eastern Europe in October. Not all in the same year of course. But I am a big fan of off-peak travel. Celebrating New Year’s in St Mark’s Square was unforgettable. Walking down Unter den Linden with a cool Autumn breeze and the changing leaves was sublime. And London in Spring — well, it was overcast, like it is all the time. 
Smarter Travel has an article for choosing good off-peak destinations. (Basically, visit the Tourism Offices Worldwide Directory to find the office of the place you’re interested in visiting — then call and ask what times of year are off-peak). They have an older article on the top five off-peak Summer destinations as well. No matter what time of year you can travel, seriously consider visiting a place that’s off-peak — you won’t regret it.
Call somebody and ask where we should visit in spring.
