November holidays

Where to go in November: long-haul sun or one last city break

Where should you go this November?

By November most of Europe has properly cooled off, so the real decision is whether you chase the warmth further afield or make peace with the cold for a city break instead. Southeast Asia, the Red Sea coast and the Canary Islands are all still properly warm, while European capitals settle into their quieter, off-season rhythm.

Sun-chaser or city-break person?

Either way, November works in your favour. It falls after the summer season and before the December rush, so flights and hotels are some of the cheapest they'll be all year. From here, deciding where to go in November mostly comes down to how much cold you're willing to put up with for a shorter flight.

The best places to travel in November, near or far

Still proper heat

These three barely notice it's nearly winter elsewhere. Bring the same suitcase you'd pack for July.

Tenerife

Tenerife holds at a steady 23°C in November, warm enough for Mount Teide one day and a black sand beach the next. Playa de las Américas gets loud in the evenings, so head elsewhere if you're after quiet.

Gran Canaria

Gran Canaria matches Tenerife almost degree for degree, sitting around 23°C with a breeze that keeps the heat from feeling heavy. The Maspalomas Dunes are worth the walk, though the sand gets uncomfortably hot underfoot by midday.

Hurghada

Hurghada's Red Sea stays warm enough for diving well into November, with visibility good enough to make the coral reefs worth the trip on their own. The town itself is fairly built up for tourism, so don't expect much beyond the resorts.

Worth the long-haul

Further to fly, but November is exactly when the extra hours in the air start to pay off in weather.

Krabi

Krabi's dry season starts right on cue in November, which is when its limestone cliffs and lagoons look their best against a clear sky. Getting between the islands means a fair amount of boat time, so budget for it.

Pointe-a-Pitre

Pointe-a-Pitre catches the tail end of hurricane season easing off, leaving warm, mostly settled weather for its markets and beaches. Flights here are long and not cheap, so it suits a proper trip rather than a quick escape.

Jeddah

Jeddah cools just enough in November to make the historic Al-Balad district walkable in the middle of the day. It's a more conservative destination than most on this list, so it's worth checking dress expectations before you go.

Cooler, but full of culture

Not warm enough for the beach, but November suits these three for exactly the reason you'd visit them anyway.

Delhi

Delhi's air finally clears and cools in November, the most comfortable stretch of the year for walking around Humayun's Tomb or the markets near Chandni Chowk. Traffic and crowds are still very much part of the experience.

Flights to Delhi Hotels in Delhi

Rabat

Rabat stays mild rather than warm in November, pleasant enough for the Kasbah of the Udayas and the Chellah without needing sun cream. It's quieter than Marrakech or Fez, which is either the appeal or the drawback depending on what you're after.

Geneva

Geneva turns properly cold by November, but that's when the lakeside and the first festive lights start to earn their keep. Museums and coffee stops matter more here than they would in summer.

Southeast Asia, minus the humidity

November is when this part of the world stops feeling like a sauna, which changes the whole experience.

Chiang Mai

Chiang Mai's cool season starts in November, with temperatures between 18°C and 30°C that make temple visits and waterfall treks far more comfortable than they'd be in April. Air quality can dip later in the season from crop burning, but November itself is usually clear.

Hanoi

Hanoi settles into mild, dry weather in November, good for walking the Old Quarter or a slow lap of Hoan Kiem Lake without fighting humidity. Evenings turn cool enough that a light jacket earns its place.

Manila

Manila is milder in November than most of the year, though still capable of a downpour with little warning as typhoon season tails off. Intramuros and the food scene are the reasons to be there regardless.

Far side of the world

Long flights, but November lines up well with the weather in all three.

Ho Chi Minh City

Ho Chi Minh City moves into its dry season in November, which makes the War Remnants Museum and the street food stalls easier to get around without the wet-season downpours. Traffic is relentless regardless of the month.

Sao Paulo

Sao Paulo warms up as November arrives in the southern hemisphere, good weather for Ibirapuera Park and the city's enormous restaurant scene. It's a sprawling, traffic-heavy city, so plan around getting between neighbourhoods.

Flights to Sao Paulo Hotels in Sao Paulo

Sharjah

Sharjah cools into genuinely pleasant weather by November, a better time than summer to walk the corniche or visit the Museum of Islamic Civilisation. It's drier and more low-key than Dubai next door, which suits some travellers better than others.

How to bag a cheap November escape

Decide how far you're willing to fly

Long-haul sun costs more upfront but you're not paying peak-season prices once you land. Short-haul keeps the flight cheap but the weather cooler.

Book before the festive rush

Prices start climbing again in December as Christmas travel kicks in, so booking now usually beats waiting.

Watch shoulder-season flight prices

November sits in a genuine pricing dip between summer and Christmas. It's one of the cheapest months to fly all year.

Bundle your flight and hotel

Booking your flight and hotel together with eDreams usually costs less than booking each separately.

Set a price alert if you're torn

If you're deciding between two or three destinations, set alerts on all of them with eDreams and let the price help you decide.
