This sunny European city is the perfect destination for a quick getaway in October

This amazing European city gets plenty of sunshine in October and is the ideal spot to visit for some warmth as the weather turns colder in the UK.

With autumn now in full swing, the nights are getting longer and the temperature is dropping, so it’s the perfect time to plan a trip to somewhere special.

Many people will recognise this city from Game of Thrones, as it was used as the filming location for King's Landing due to its well-preserved medieval buildings.

Dubrovnik, a beautiful coastal city in Croatia, sits along the Adriatic Sea and is often called the ‘Pearl of the Adriatic’ because of its breathtaking beauty.

But beyond its TV fame, Dubrovnik is stunning in its own right, surrounded by green hills and clear blue waters, which make the city's red rooftops stand out even more.

One of the best reasons to visit Dubrovnik this autumn is the weather. In October, temperatures are usually around 22°C, making it perfect for exploring the city while still enjoying some warmth.

In fact, CN Traveller has ranked Dubrovnik as the top destination for anyone looking to soak up the sun after summer ends.
