September: Montreal, Canada
Canada may turn 150 this year, but Montreal, which is celebrating its 375th birthday, is definitely the place to be. Fall is the perfect time to enjoy activities like bike riding, al fresco dining and exploring the city’s famed farmers’ markets. Did we mention leaf peeping?

October: Jerusalem, Israel
For a country the size of New Jersey, Israel is doing big things. Jerusalem in particular is earning a reputation for international cuisine (check out Machneyuda for amazing polenta with mushroom ragu) and open-air markets serving up everything from gourmet burgers to chapurias (cheese pastries). On the outskirts of the city, you’ll find a budding wine region in the Judean Hills. Go during October to catch the tail end of summer.

November: Oaxaca Coast, Mexico
A far cry from the spring-break-infused towns of Cancun or Playa del Carmen, the Oaxacan coast (nicknamed la costa chica) is comprised of a handful of laid-back towns like San Agustinillo, Puerto Escondido, Zipolite and Mazunte, and is known for quality surfing and a relaxed way of life. During November, you’ll get great, dry weather right before high season begins in December.

December: Montevideo, Uruguay
Given Uruguay’s location between Brazil and Argentina, it’s often overlooked as a South American destination. So go now before the rest of the world finds out about this city known for untouched beaches, fin-de-siècle architecture and asado (barbecue) restaurants that rival those of Argentina. Visit during December when the weather is nice and steamy.
