Fairytale Factor: This Poconos mountain town is often called the “Little Switzerland of America" thanks to its steep hillsides and European village feel. Narrow winding streets, turreted mansions and stone architecture look like something out of the Alps. It's also the starting point for a scenic railroad, making for storybook fall rides.

Fairytale Factor: This hidden Midwestern gem is known for its 19th-century architecture, independently owned boutiques and rolling hills that turn red and gold in October. Its classic red-brick buildings and gaslamp-lit streets give it the feeling of a charming European village that time forgot.
Fall Tip: Check out the Galena Country Fair in early October and stay in a historic inn or B&B.
3. Eureka Springs, Arkansas

Fairytale Factor: Built into the cliffs of the Ozark mountainside, Eureka Springs feels like a folkloric German village. Its steep winding streets, well-preserved Victorian buildings—the most in the US!—and natural springs bubbling out of limestone walls add to the European charm. The downtown is lined with iron balconies, cobblestone paths and steep staircases lending even more old-world romance.
Fall Tip: The foliage here is at its best come mid-October. Take a scenic drive on the Pig Trail Scenic Byway and stay at its castle-like Crescent Hotel. Try your hand at pumpkin bowling and hatchet throwing at the Frisco Sporting Club's Fall Festival.

Fairytale Factor: This former logging town in the Cascade Mountains is modeled after a German Bavarian alpine village—with half-timbered buildings, hanging flower baskets, sausage stands and a legendary Oktoberfest celebration—it draws crowds far and wide for three weekends in October, thanks to multiple music stages, beer halls and general revelry.
