The northeastern United States might get most of the attention when autumn arrives, but Europe can certainly rival it as a destination for "leaf peeping".
While the famous fall colours of New England can be spectacular, the window to see them is notoriously short and unpredictable. Europe, meanwhile, has the advantage of everything from high Alpine peaks and deep river valleys to vast forests, meaning autumn arrives at different times across the continent.
The result? If you know where to look, you can chase fiery reds, golden yellows and burnt oranges for weeks – and sometimes months – rather than gambling on one perfect weekend.
Here are 10 of the best places in Europe to see autumn foliage this year.
