The autunno may be the ideal moment to take a break from routine and discover a new city, especially when affordable fares are available. Vueling presents a new promotion that lets you book certain flights with discounts up to 20% for travel between October 1, 2026 and January 31, 2027. The offer is available for purchases made from September 15 to 20, on the airline’s website or via the mobile app, and it applies to a selection of direct flights operated by Vueling, while supplies last. The final price may vary depending on the optional services chosen.
Among the combinations available there are some particularly appealing options for organizing a city break in the coming months. From the autumn ambience of Brussels to the liveliness of Bilbao, up to a Barcelona to enjoy away from the peak tourist season, here are three ideas we’ve picked out for you to grab quickly.
From Florence to Brussels
November can be a great opportunity to discover Brussels with a distinctly autumnal atmosphere. At this time of year the Belgian capital lends itself to evocative strolls from the Grand-Place to its various districts, dropping into small venues and craft breweries for a cozy break when the weather turns cooler. The city is particularly interesting also for its gastronomic scene, between street food, chocolate and local specialities like Belgian waffles or frites.
It’s worth dedicating some time to the Sablon neighborhood, with its boutiques and galleries of modern and contemporary art, or to explore the city’s more creative areas such as Ixelles and Saint-Gilles. November is also a good period to mix walks with visits to museums, taking advantage of Brussels’ rich cultural offerings. Not to miss are the iconic Atomium and the Museum Magritte.
The flight from Florence to Brussels on November 22 starts from 28 euros per person.
From Venice to Bilbao
October is instead perfect for visiting Bilbao, when autumn still allows you to explore the city on foot without the heat of the summer months. Beyond the major museums, such as the Guggenheim, you can dedicate part of the day to discovering the Casco Viejo, the historic center threaded with narrow streets and squares where you can stop to sample the many types of pintxos.
A stroll along the Ría de Bilbao on a sunny day offers a different view of the city, balancing contemporary architecture with districts like Bilbi and Abando, which have transformed in recent decades. In autumn it can also be pleasant to venture into the surrounding countryside to admire the Basque Country’s landscapes. A recommended stop is the Hayedo de Otzarreta in the Gorbeia Natural Park with its spectacular century‑old beech trees.
Traveling from Venice to Bilbao on October 29 costs from 22 euros per person.
From Milan Malpensa to Barcelona
December is ideal for discovering a Barcelona that differs from the crowded peak season. Temperatures are generally milder than in many other European cities, allowing long strolls that weave between the city center neighborhoods like El Born and El Raval and the less touristy areas such as Sant Andreu.
December also brings a special atmosphere to the city, with markets, decorations and Christmas traditions. It’s the perfect time to browse the stalls and pause for a coffee in a café. For art lovers, the museums offer a compelling option on cooler days. Don’t miss the Picloasso Museum and the Joan Miró Foundation.
You can fly from Milan Malpensa to Barcelona on December 1 from 15 euros per person.
