The post 3 Reasons to Visit Sicily, Italy, in the Fall appeared first on tworeddots.com.
]]>Autumn Colors
Sicily is an island rich in natural resources and beautiful colors. Experiencing fall on the island is a truly stunning experience, as ancient woodlands turn red and orange and the sun casts a rich glow across the landscape. The cooler temperatures also mean that fall is the ideal time to go on a longer hike through the Sicilian countryside.
Fewer Crowds
Exploring cities like Palermo and Siracusa in the fall will be a much more peaceful experience than trying to battle through the crowds in the high season. You will also find plenty of cafes and restaurants remain open until late November, so you can experience delicious Sicilian food without having to queue for your dinner.
ALEXANDER Harvest Time
Sicily is one of Europe’s biggest producers of exquisite products including pistachios, hazelnuts, mushrooms, chestnuts, wine and ham. Fall is when much of this produce is harvested, meaning that you will get to taste the freshest and best quality natural produce if you holiday on Sicily in the autumn.

Whether you choose to visit the world-famous Van Gogh museum, the Rijksmuseum, or any of Amsterdam’s many other museums and art galleries, you’re sure to be blown away by the amount of incredible art, artefacts and cultural objects on display. Whether you prefer traditional Dutch still life paintings or more modern, experimental art, there really is something for everyone in Amsterdam.

The old city centre is incredibly picturesque, with winding canals, stunning buildings and wide streets to amble along. Make sure you snap some pics in the old town, and perhaps sit down for a drink in a bar or cafe so you can really take in your surroundings.
Food
Dutch food culture specializes in seriously tasty and indulgent dishes. You must try some of the Dutch fries which come seasoned with cheese and special sauces, and don’t miss out on traditional dishes such as roast pork or battered fish.

]]>Amiens Cathedral
The cathedral dominates the center of the city, and dates from the medieval period. It is a stunning example of Gothic architecture and is just as impressive inside as it is outside. This cathedral’s claim to fame is that it’s actually the largest in France—two cathedrals the size of Notre Dame could fit inside the interior of Amiens’ cathedral!
The Floating Gardens
A canal tour around the floating gardens is a must-see if you’re visiting Amiens. These stunning gardens surround the waterways, giving the impression that the plants are floating. Canal tours last between one hour to three, with guides providing information about the history of the gardens and the city.

Amiens is a city steeped in history and culture. Why not visit the Musée De Picardie, which hosts plenty of classical art and sculpture, or the Somme 1916 museum to learn more about the traumatic yet interesting history of World War One? There’s so much to see and do in this charming city!

]]>Visit the Cathedral and Necropolis
When you first hear mention that Glasgow has a necropolis, you may do a double take – it certainly doesn’t sound like something a 21st-century city possesses, but Glasgow’s is great and glorious and situated right up on a hillside above the city for some fabulous views. It’s just across the road from Glasgow’s ancient cathedral, so combine the two into a trip that will take in history, art, nature, and culture.
Enjoy the Food Scene
As well as offering plenty of haggis and tatty scones, Glasgow can provide you with a plate of incredible Korean food, a bowl of Vietnamese pho, or a dish of Polish pierogi, depending on what you’re looking for. The food scene has international scope and is of an excellent standard, in fact, it will be hard to eat badly when you’re vacationing in Glasgow.
Explore the Botanical Gardens
Glasgow has some extensive green spaces and some fabulous walking options, in fact, the starting point of the West Highland Way (an epic hiking trail that goes up the west coast of Scotland) starts just out of the city. If you want access to green space while staying inside Glasgow, head to the Botanical Gardens which feature some stunning Victorian-era greenhouses.
