Portugal - Lisbon

September is a lovely time to visit Lisbon as the days are still warm but not too hot to explore the city streets. Any time between April and October should see warm weather with little rain and the winter months remain fairly mild too. Lisbon is just 11km from the airport and less than 2.5 hours flying time from London, making it ideal for a weekend city break. This small city leads you from elegant, leafy plazas to riverside cafes; mosaic-tiled squares lined with stunning architecture to a maze of hillside medieval lanes oozing charm and character at every turn. Jump on the vintage tram, take a Tagus River Cruise, walk or hire a fun Lisbon GoCar and explore because, Lisbon will retain your interest whether that lies in history, food and wine, bar hopping and cafe culture, shopping or, parks and gardens.

Czech Republic - Prague

The Czech Republic has warm summers (although this is when it tends to rain a little more) and cold, snowy winters. Prague in September is still fairly warm with a little less rain and the days are still long enough to pack in plenty of sight-seeing. At just 8km from the airport, and less than 2 hours flying time from London, Prague is a good choice for a weekend city break. We offer a range of hotels in Prague, throughout the city and along the banks of the Vlatava River, where you will be surrounded by city parks and architecture dating back to the 11th century. Whilst Prague has endless monuments and treasures including the magnificent Prague Castle, the Old Royal Palace, Saint Vitus Cathedral, Old Town Square and the lovely Charles Bridge, it does have a cosmopolitan side too. Browse the boutiques on Parizska, dine and shop along Wenceslas Square, sample the nation's beer in the many pubs and beer gardens, discover a vibrant clubbing scene, go to the Opera and take a relaxing river cruise.

Morocco - Marrakech

Morocco is hot all year round and even more so in the inland city of Marrakech. During the summer the heat is often in the high 30s but in September, Marrakech cools down to the mid to high twenties making it ideal for relaxing by the pool and far more comfortable for exploring. We offer a wide range of hotels in Marrakech, modern and traditional, inside and outside of the Medina. For a luxurious stay just outside of the city, choose one of the prestigious golf hotels, boutique hotels or spa resorts in Palm Groves. Why not stay in a traditional Riad hotel in the heart of the Medina and really experience the colours, the culture and the bustle of Marrakech and complete your holiday in total relaxation in the lush and beautiful surroundings of Palm Groves, which is close enough to pop back into the city if you wish. Things to see and do include the impressive Koutoubia Mosque, centuries old palaces and the Sadiaan Tombs; explore the souks, spend some time in D'Jemaa el Fna Square and take lunch in the Majorelle Garden.

Greece - Zante

Dry from May to September with warm weather often lasting into November, the Greek Island of Zante in September enjoys plenty of late summer sun with temperatures in the mid to high twenties. If you are seeking the lively bars and nightclubs, Laganas is the resort for you or, to a slightly lesser extent, Argassis and Kalamaki. For a quieter family holiday, Alykanas and Tsilivi are particularly popular with British holidaymakers and have long beaches. To appreciate the real natural beauty of Zante, Vassilikos is surrounded by small traditional villages and several beautiful beaches. Whilst relatively quiet, Vassilikos has plenty of tavernas and restaurants serving authentic Greek food, a good offering of watersports and is in easy reach of Zante Town if you wish to explore or indeed, Laganas if you want to sample the nightlife.

Gibraltar in September should be dry and a little more comfortable than the peak summer temperatures which are around 30 degrees with fairly high humidity.
