5 Autumn Getaways

If you didn't manage to get away this summer, have no fear – there's still plenty of places to head for sightseeing and sunshine. There'll be less crowds and it'll (hopefully!) be less expensive – so here's the places ParkCloud recommends! 

Yes, of course there's Ocktoberfest, but there are also plenty of other 'fests' happening! From beer to wine to pumpkin to apple festivals, Germany has plenty to offer for a weekend away. The Pumpkin Fest includes pumpkin weigh-offs, boat races in canoes made from hollowed pumpkins and pumpkin flavoured food and wine – ten times more delicious than any pumpkin spiced latte, promise. 

 If you fancy popping to see the pumpkins, it's just a short flight to Stuttgart from Manchester Airport. For a smooth service, book your car into Skypark Manchester – board your flight knowing your car is safe and sound in this undercover car park. Plus, there's a shuttle bus straight to the airport terminal. Once you arrive in Stuttgart it's just a short 10 minute train journey to Ludwigsburg, where the pumpkin festival is located. 

Just a short two-hour flight from London, the French Riviera is the perfect spot for sun, sea and sand. In the Autumn, it's still a lovely warm temperature, and there's plenty of events happening. For example, why not fly to Nice from Luton for the 'Le Théâtre de la Photographie et de l’Image' or the MANCA Music Festival. If you're after a stress free weekend, drop your car off at Priority Parking Meet and Greet and start your holiday right – a chauffeur will whisk your car away and park it safely in the car park. Once you return, it'll be waiting outside the terminal for you to jump straight in. 

Alternatively, if you're staying in Nice a little longer, leave your car at Luton Long Term Parking. Safe, secure and located just 10 minutes from the terminal, this car park is perfect for longer trips. 

 

With significantly fewer visitors but just as many beautiful days, Prague has a golden glow in the Autumn which provides a romantic feel to the stunning city. At dusk, be sure to stroll on Castle Hill for a panoramic view of Prague's rooftops and spires. 

From Manchester airport, you can fly to Prague in just a couple of hours. Drive up, drop your car at JetParks Plus and it's just a short bus ride to the terminals.  

 

Looking for beautiful beaches, golf, windsurfing and stunning walking trails this autumn? Look no further – The Canary Islands are the place for you. With temperatures averaging around 24C in Autumn, it might not be as scorching hot as the summer, but cooler temperatures mean no suffering in sweltering heat. 

In Autumn, you won't struggle to find cheap flights to the Canary Islands. Fly from Gatwick, and it'll only take a couple of hours. Book your airport parking in advance and start relaxing as soon as you arrive at the airport. Ace Meet and Greet Premium will meet you at the airport, park your car and meet you back in the same place when you land back at Gatwick. Perfect. 

 

An autumn cruise is the perfect way to get some sun and relax – simply drive up and park your car at Southampton or Dover port and set sail to the Mediterranean, Caribbean and more! You can find out more about cruise parking with ParkCloud here.
