Well, granting yourself a vacation tour to Europe during November is one of the best decisions you could make, as it is low season all around. That is, November tends to be when people avoid taking vacations due to multiple factors, such as the season, job, and others.
This ensures minimal tourist crowds in the places you are to visit while also ensuring minimal stay costs and open access to areas that usually tend to be reserved.
1. Rome
As we all know, Rome is the capital of Italy and one of the most aesthetic places, and it still has a major reminiscence of history. The city is a world heritage site that magnificently envelopes ruins, monuments, and extraordinary architecture. Visiting the city during November will ensure fewer crowds, but it is also when you can relish seasonal dishes that use pumpkins, artichokes, and other amazing seasonal fruits and vegetables.
While visiting Rome, do not forget to tour the Pantheon and the famous Colosseum. They will surely manage to set a theme for your visit while you see the remains of what was once present.
2. London
London is another destination for roaming around and appreciating culture and art. It tends to have many places worth visiting, and no entry fee is required in most of them. The London Eye and The London Bridge are some of the prominent attractions.
The temperature in London during November is a bit extreme, but it tends to add to the chill and adventurous spirit one holds during a trip. So, if you cannot handle unpredictable weather, then it is suggested that you do not visit London during the winter.
If you visit London in November, it is suggested that you attend the Lord Mayor’s Show, which is held in the Mayor’s Ally. The show celebrates London’s independence, having given them a chance to elect their Mayor way back in the 13th century.
3. Asturias
Asturias is an autonomous community situated in Green, Spain. It houses multiple world heritage sites and has a maritime climate almost all year round. It is also an important mining region in Spain with a great industrial complex.
A vacation stay in Asturias means you are just a couple hours away from the Cantabrian Sea and can witness the beauty of Picos de Europa’s mountain range. This location in Europe tends to have a mild and rainy atmosphere during November.
4. Canary Islands
The Canary Islands have beautiful beaches, volcanic scenery, and an extremely favourable climate. They also house diverse cultures and rugged natural landscapes that hold historical significance. The island of Tenerife is said to have been formed due to volcanic eruptions several million years ago, and it is one of the most visited islands.
Visiting during November would ensure a comparatively less hot beach climate, with a glimpse of rain that just adds to the spark.
5. Greek Islands
The Greek Islands are known for their infamous and bewildering scenery, party atmosphere, coastal caves, ancient villages, and appealing beaches. Furthermore, if you like visiting ruins and archaeological sites to learn history, this is the place for you.
The islands tend to exhibit cool weather, so you can explore and go sightseeing without many summer crowds during November. If you visit the Greek Islands, it is suggested that you stay at Mykonos or Santorini, for they are seemingly the best among the bunch.
6. Vienna
Vienna houses multiple imperial palaces, historical monuments, and several other attractions. The Danube Tower is yet another famous spot in Vienna, as it is the highest landmark in Austria. It is the perfect place for a charming, artistic vacation filled with music and tradition.
Visiting the city during November would allow you to see the markets before they set into Christmas mode, and that too with minimal crowds. This would help you acquire amazing souvenirs at a minimal cost.

Prague is known for its cultural life. Its Gothic cathedrals, Romanesque chapels, Baroque palaces, cellars, Art Nouveau buildings, and breathtaking architecture are not to be missed. It is also the city where Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart lived and is the hub of musical history filled with one-of-a-kind aesthetics.
November is the best month to visit Prague, as it hosts most festivals and cultural events, like the International Jazz Festival. Do not forget to visit Prague Castle.
8. Sofia
Sofia is Bulgaria’s capital, and at first glance, it seems like any other modern city. But this place holds on to its 7000-year history in its cuisine. It also houses the Ballet of Bulgaria, the Vasil Levski National Stadium, the Sofia Opera and Ballet House, the National Palace of Culture, and the Ivan Vazov National Theatre.
November is a great month to visit the city, as it is easier to stroll around and learn about it during this period.
9. Lisbon
Lisbon is a vacation hub, for it tends to store pretty much everything you possibly want in a vacation. It has good architecture, ancient castles, an amazing history, a praise-worthy culture, and an extraordinary menu. Furthermore, you can even go around and have fun at the beach or click pictures with a perfect background.
