9. Pisa
A cultural gem that needs little introduction, Pisa is much more than a leaning tower – it makes a great base to explore what Tuscany has to offer. Florence is just over an hour away by train, the Chianti wine region lies just to the south-east and the spa resort of Montecatini Terme, a favourite retreat of Audrey Hepburn, is under 30 miles away. Marina di Pisa, a short bus ride from the city centre, has a pebble beach, and the Tuscan sun is still bright in October. Jet2.com will take you from Manchester to Pisa from £76pp return, from 15-22 October. easyJet and Ryanair also fly to Pisa from Manchester. Photo: MA
10. Zagreb
Perhaps something of a wildcard option, the Croatian capital is not as familiar to travellers as the seafront vistas of Dubrovnik but it offers temperatures in the low 20s during October, and boasts a vibrant café culture and arts scene. The stunning Plitvice Lakes National Park, dominated by huge limestone waterfalls, makes for a great day trip. Enjoy a city break in Zagreb with flights from just £30pp with Ryanair from Manchester, travelling 16-20 October. Photo: MA
