I always plan my travels for September – because I feel it is a great month to experience the best of weather, the least of crowds, and the locals not as stressed with tourists as they are during the summer.

With that said, here and here are two lists of some of the best places to travel in September:

Black Hills, South Dakota

Charleston, S Carolina

Ethiopia

Gragnano, Italy

Guayaquil, Ecuador

Hong Kong

Rome, Italy

Mexico City, Mexico

Paris, France

Portland, Maine

Dublin, Ireland

Tiblis, Georgia
