November Travel Destinations in Germany

Need a change of scenery but don’t want to travel far? For a short trip in November, we have two great destinations in Germany for you.

Allgäu

• Type of trip: Wellness vacation, nature and active vacation
• Also a good time to visit: May through October and December through March
• Climate: 32–46°F, 12–16 rainy days

If you’re after a little getaway in November, the Allgäu is just the place. The summer crowds are gone and ski season hasn’t started yet, so you’ll find pure peace and relaxation here — a seriously underrated spot for a November vacation.

The air is crisp and clear right now — perfect for short hikes or a stroll through town in charming places like Füssen or Oberstdorf. If you’re lucky, the first snow might already be glittering on the mountain peaks.

And when it gets chilly outside, you can cozy up indoors — the Allgäu is full of rustic mountain huts and wonderful wellness hotels.

Our hotel pick: Alpenhotel Oberstdorf – with a traditional country-house atmosphere and a lovely wellness area

Frankfurt

• Type of trip: City trip
• Also a good time to visit: May through September
• Climate: 39–48°F, 8–10 rainy days

In November, Frankfurt shows its relaxed side: fewer crowds, but still plenty to see and do.

Wander through the historic old town with its half-timbered houses, explore world-class museums, or hop from one hip café to the next — there’s no shortage of things to enjoy.

In the evening, wind down at one of the many bars or restaurants. Best of all, of course, with a warm glass of apple wine and Frankfurt specialties.

Toward the end of the month, the pre-Christmas season kicks off: the Christmas market at the Römer opens, and string lights adorn the streets — truly lovely!

Our hotel pick: Scandic Frankfurt Museumsufer – an eco-conscious hotel in the city center

November Travel Destinations in Europe

Is Germany already feeling a bit too chilly for you in November? No problem — these European destinations stay pleasantly warm well into the month:

Sicily

• Type of trip: Road trip, nature and active vacation
• Also a good time to visit: March through May and September through October
• Climate: 55–72°F, 8–10 rainy days

Italy is always a good idea! And when we think of Sicily, we immediately picture clear water and long, fine sandy beaches in charming little towns like Cefalù or San Vito Lo Capo.

But Sicily has so much more going for it than beaches. Did you know the island also has stunning mountain landscapes that are great for hiking? And then of course there’s Mount Etna — one of Europe’s most active volcanoes and a true highlight of Sicily.

Cities like Palermo or Noto are absolutely worth a visit too. You can stroll through the old town alleys at your leisure and truly soak up the dolce vita.

By November, the last summer tourists have left and the towns and beaches are blissfully uncrowded. Temperatures stay mild — perfect for long hikes or small road trips through the interior. And with a bit of luck, a dip in the sea is still possible, especially early in the month.

Our hotel pick: UNA HOTELS Capotaormina – a cozy hotel in a dream location

Málaga

• Type of trip: Cultural and city trip
• Also a good time to visit: April through October
• Climate: 55–72°F, 4–5 rainy days

When things start to turn gray and cold back home, Málaga still feels wonderfully mild. In November, you can expect temperatures of up to 72°F — ideal for soaking up a little more sunshine.

Málaga has that classic Spanish, laid-back vibe from the moment you arrive: you stroll through the historic center, discover colorful street art, and treat yourself to tapas at one of the many little bars along the way.

And if you’re in the mood for the classic sights of Málaga, there’s plenty of that too. The Picasso Museum and the Centre Pompidou offer fascinating exhibitions, and the Alcazaba fortress gives you a real glimpse into the Moorish history of Andalusia.

And since Málaga sits right on the sea, a walk along the Playa de la Malagueta is the perfect way to round out the day. Sounds pretty great, right?

We can also highly recommend a trip to Málaga with kids.

Our hotel pick: Hotel Boutique Teatro Romano – one of the most beautiful hotels in Málaga at a very fair price

Fuerteventura

• Type of trip: Beach vacation, active vacation
• Also a good time to visit: year-round
• Climate: 64–75°F, 1–2 rainy days

Fuerteventura looks like a vast Mars-like landscape — with endless stretches of sand and volcanic rock.

At the same time, the island is home to some seriously stunning beaches, such as the miles-long dune beaches of Corralejo in the north or the peaceful coves around Costa Calma in the south.

And if you want more than just relaxing, the island is a true paradise for water sports. Kitesurfing, windsurfing, or surfing — it’s a fantastic place to try something new.

As the warmest of the Canary Islands, Fuerteventura still feels really pleasant in November. Not too hot, but warm enough for sun, sand, and sea.

The ideal European pick for a beach vacation in November — ideally at a beautiful beachfront hotel on Fuerteventura.

Our hotel pick: Hélène Holidays – a stunning boutique hotel on Fuerteventura with a great location in Corralejo

Long-Haul Destinations in November

Feeling like something beyond Europe? Here are our favorite long-haul picks for November.

Morocco

• Type of trip: Road trip, cultural trip
• Also a good time to visit: March through May and September through October
• Climate: 39–73°F, 1–9 rainy days (depending on region)

If you’re craving a more exotic destination without a marathon flight, Morocco is a perfect November getaway. You’re there in just a few hours by plane from most European cities.

Morocco’s landscapes are incredibly diverse — from the rugged Atlas Mountains to the remote Erg Chegaga desert and the rocky gorges of Dades and Todra. Absolutely breathtaking!

The country also has a lot to offer culturally. A great example is Marrakech: here you can wander through narrow alleyways and colorful souks, get swept up in lively markets, and experience Morocco’s legendary hospitality.

While nights can get quite cool, especially in the mountain regions, most parts of the country still enjoy pleasant temperatures, plenty of sunshine, and little rain in November. The perfect time for a road trip through Morocco!

Hong Kong

• Type of trip: Cultural and city trip, nature vacation
• Also a good time to visit: March through May and September through October
• Climate: 68–79°F, 3–6 rainy days

Hong Kong is a fantastic November destination if you want to explore a big city while experiencing a completely different culture. Everything is electric, enormous, and somehow mind-blowing!

A great starting point is Victoria Peak on Hong Kong Island. From there, you get the best view of the city’s impressive skyline.

Hong Kong also offers fascinating museums, extraordinary restaurants, and tons of shopping. What most people don’t realize, though, is that there are also beaches in Hong Kong — making it a true all-rounder!

A city trip to Hong Kong is especially well-suited as an autumn travel destination, since you’ll largely avoid rain apart from the occasional brief shower, and temperatures sit at a pleasant 68 to 86°F. Perfect conditions for sightseeing.

Our hotel pick: 99 Bonham – very central location on Hong Kong Island

Mauritius

• Type of trip: Beach vacation, nature and active vacation
• Also a good time to visit: year-round (depending on region)
• Climate: 68–86°F, 7–10 rainy days

Mauritius is a true beach paradise. We’ve rarely seen water so turquoise — palm groves line the shore, and while snorkeling you’ll discover an incredible variety of fish. Kite- and windsurfers are also completely in their element here.

In the island’s interior, the Black River Gorges National Park awaits with dense rainforest, waterfalls, and crater lakes. Stunning orchids grow right along the trails.

You can also spot monkeys, flying foxes, and giant tortoises on the island.

The best time to visit Mauritius depends on which coast you’re heading to, as the climate varies slightly by region. November is particularly ideal because you’ll find good conditions on all sides of the island — both for water sports and for a beach vacation.

Our hotel pick: Voile Bleue – a small, charming boutique hotel with direct beachfront access

Las Vegas

• Type of trip: City trip
• Also a good time to visit: March through May and September through October
• Climate: 36–70°F, 1–2 rainy days

Las Vegas is loud, colorful, and a little crazy — and that’s exactly what makes it so fascinating. The city in the Nevada desert never sleeps and offers entertainment around the clock.

Beyond the famous casinos, you can catch spectacular shows, dine at upscale restaurants, party, or simply wander through the incredible themed hotels — from the Eiffel Tower to Venetian canals, it’s all here. Shoppers are well taken care of too: with outlets, malls, and designer boutiques.

And if you want to escape the hustle for a bit, you’re just under an hour away from stunning nature — like the Red Rock Canyon or the Valley of Fire.

November is honestly ideal for Las Vegas: the extreme summer heat is gone, and since it’s outside of the busy holiday season, it’s also a bit quieter and more affordable.

Our hotel pick: Circa Resort & Casino – luxury hotel with an excellent price-to-value ratio

Northern Thailand

• Type of trip: Cultural trip, nature and active vacation
• Also a good time to visit: November through early February
• Climate: 64–86°F, 0–4 rainy days

Northern Thailand often gets overlooked when all the beautiful islands of Thailand are in the picture. But if you’re after authenticity and traditional Thai culture, you won’t find it in touristy beach resorts or hectic Bangkok — you’ll find it right here.

This part of the country offers towering mountain ranges, beautiful temples, lush green rice fields, and traditional villages. Absolute must-sees include the Doi Inthanon National Park and the White Temple in Chiang Rai.

Equally worth your time is the city of Chiang Mai, known as the Rose of the North — and it’s just as beautiful as the name suggests. In November, the city hosts the Loi Krathong lantern festival, a truly special experience!

Northern Thailand has strong contrasts between rainy and dry seasons. November falls in the dry and notably cooler months — well, it still reaches 86°F. Perfect for escaping the cold, wet weather back home.

Argentina

• Type of trip: Cultural trip, road trip, nature and active vacation
• Also a good time to visit: March through May, October, and December
• Climate: 32–86°F, 1–10 rainy days (depending on region)

Few countries pack as much variety as Argentina — from exciting metropolises to spectacular landscapes.

A great starting point is the capital Buenos Aires. Here you can wander through hip neighborhoods like Palermo, catch a tango show in the evening, and work your way through the delicious Argentine cuisine.

If you love nature, you’ll especially fall for Patagonia in the south — with glaciers, mountains, and endless open space. In the northwest you’ll find desert-like landscapes, and in the northeast the mighty Iguazú Falls.

In November, many regions of Argentina are in spring, and you can comfortably explore both Patagonia and the north. Perfect conditions for a cross-country adventure!
