WHERE TO GO IN NOVEMBER
Travel Inspiration for NOVEMBER
As the seasons continue to shift, November presents a world of captivating travel possibilities. From witnessing the mystical Northern Lights dancing across Finnish Lapland’s skies to island-hopping through the crystal waters of the Bahamas. Explore the colourful streets of Vietnam as the monsoon season recedes, where ancient temples and moving war monuments tell of a complex past.
Or journey to Peru, where fewer crowds mean a more intimate experience with the cloud-wrapped majesty of Machu Picchu. For coffee enthusiasts, Colombia’s renowned plantations await with some of the world’s finest arabica beans, set against a backdrop of snow-capped Andes and golden Caribbean beaches. See our November inspiration below, including adventure, culture and relaxation.
Vietnam
As the monsoon season recedes, Vietnam has plenty to captivate your senses for at least a couple of weeks. Wander through the colourful streets of Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh, or step back in time at the dark and moving Cu Chi wartime tunnels. The past is poignantly remembered in museums and ancient temples dotting the landscape. For a slower pace, cruise through Ha Long Bay’s misty seascapes or explore Mekong Delta’s floating markets.
Colombia
Colombia holds a Caribbean-Pacific charm yet to be discovered by many. The diversity of the landscapes is staggering, from the snow-capped Andes to the golden beaches of Tayrona’s National Park. Explore Cartagena and Bogotá’s colonial splendour, with their colourful facades and leafy plazas. Meanwhile, Colombia’s renowned coffee plantations yield some of the world’s finest arabica beans – don’t miss the coffee-tasting!
Finnish Lapland
Santa Claus aside, Finnish Lapland is a wonderfully remote Arctic experience – a magical place which astounds adults and children alike. Glide through silent forests on a reindeer sleigh or race across the snow on a husky sled before unwinding fireside in a cosy, luxury lodge. For an unforgettable night, stay in a glass igloo and gaze at the Northern Lights shimmering in the vast, unpolluted skies.
Peru
On the cusp of the wet season, Peru’s landscapes begin to flourish with greenery, yet the heavier rains have not yet arrived. This means fewer visitors at the iconic Machu Picchu, where dramatic cloud formations weave around the peaks as you hike. In Lima, indulge in seasonal delicacies before venturing deep into the Amazon for wildlife encounters and cultural exchanges with cohabiting indigenous communities.
Bahamas
A tropical chain of islands, the Bahamas is a dream destination for island-hopping in November. Swim alongside the famous pigs on Eleuthera’s Harbour Island or meet the acrobatic bottlenose dolphins at the Blue Lagoon. The shallow flats in Great Exuma offer world-class bonefishing, while exclusive beachside resorts provide the perfect setting to sip legendary Bahamian cocktails as the sun sets.
