If that sounds good, there are some great places in the US that are discreet and accessible.
The following six destinations are perfect for a beautiful fall weekend getaway.
Providence, Rhode Island
America’s smallest state capital is an often-overlooked gem because it’s not that big of a place with a population of less than 200,000 people.
What it lacks in size, it makes up for in quiet parks and beautiful architecture with attractive and cool events.

Potatoes and huckleberries are the most popular ingredients, so we recommend them here.Boise fries, a product of his company bigger than a hamburgerup to the huckleberry-sweetened adult drink, you can’t go wrong.

No matter where you come from, it’s worth going to Portland, Maine, especially in the fall. The historic red brick buildings and cobbled streets create a nostalgic atmosphere.
Tourists can enjoy the beautiful scenery all year round, but autumn is even more appealing with its clear air and beautiful foliage.
Portland makes a great base for a weekend getaway, but charming small towns such as Bath and Kennebunkport, both within driving distance, make your trip even more enjoyable.
St. Louis, Missouri
Depending on who you ask, gateway to the west Sometimes it has a bad reputation. Some say he has two sides to this city. But one thing is for sure, it will be a dream fall vacation.

St. Louis isn’t just a beer-drinking city with giant arches. It’s a big city with lots to see, especially in autumn.
Summer here is brutally hot, but autumn gives the city a whole new look. Temperatures are relatively cool, and there are some great places to stay comfortably next to scenic spots with vivid foliage.
The city’s West End is a great place to spend time, as is The Hill if you’re a foodie. A beautiful forest park is located in the center of the city, free entrance Visit museums and the St. Louis Zoo.
Indianapolis, Indiana
@davopierce I didn’t know Indiana had a fall like this. #Indiana Hoosiers #Brown County Indiana #all my favorite colors #autumn ♬ Color – Black Puma
Another great Midwestern city to visit in the fall is Indianapolis. The saying “the Midwest is the best” must be true.
Many people travel to Chicago, but Indianapolis, not far from there, is a less crowded alternative to enjoying all that autumn has to offer.
Indianapolis in the fall is absolutely gorgeous with golden foliage mixed with shades of orange and red.
There are many quiet and beautiful parks, a great way to spend a day outdoors. The small town of Carmel is also nearby and has many shops and cafes where you can buy a pumpkin spice latte.
