Fall is drawing to its end and the winter holidays aren’t yet impacting the price of the trips. If you travel on a strict budget, this is the month to plan your trip in: both accommodation and transport are affordable.

Here are our suggestions of some great european destinations to visit in November.

European Destinations to Visit in November: Athens, Greece

November average temps: 15.4 C / 59.7 F
Average accommodation price: 29 USD a night in a one-bedroom apartment (book your accommodation in Athens now)

Athens in November is a gem left undiscovered. You have the ancient sites for yourself, unless you visit on Sunday when it’s free entrance for everyone so it tends to get crowded. And you can still do some island hopping, especially if you want to take the ferry . Some routes still run as they serve the locals. After you are tired and hungry from all the walking, head into a taverna and try the local cuisine.

European Destinations to Visit in November: Cinque Terre, Italy

November average temps: 12.2 C / 54 F
Average accommodation price: 87 USD (discounted) a night in a double room(book your accommodation Manarola now )

Cinque Terre is a picturesque area in Italy’s Linguria province. As the name suggests, it comprises five villages, linked by scenic trails. The villages together with the hills surrounding them are part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site. After hiking on those trails, stop for a meal and don’t forget to enjoy the local food, including pesto – the entire region is known for it – , focaccia and pecorino cheese.

European Destinations to Visit in November: London, England

November average temps: 7.2 C / 44.9 F
Average accommodation price: 58 USD a night in a double room (book your accommodation in London now)

Who in a sane mind sends you to London during November? Well, I do. Like any large city, London isn’t going to not be overwhelmed by tourists. Ever. But, at least it’s not that crowded when the weather is damp and cold. You can spend your time exploring the museum – British Museum is free to visit – and when you get too cold, you can hide in a pub and try the beer or the cider.

European Destinations to Visit in November: Mallorca, Spain

November average temps: 15.7 C / 60.3 F
Average accommodation price: 92 USD a night in a double room (book your accommodation in Palma de Mallorca now )

Want to walk on beaches almost by yourself? Then head to Mallorca. While super busy and expensive during the high season, November is when the island has a totally different vibe. Enjoy the local cuisine, take walks and just relax. Palma has some interesting sights to see, including a historic center worth your time.

European Destinations to Visit in November: Venice, Italy

November average temps: 7.8 C / 46.1 F
Average accommodation price: 88 USD a night in a double room(book your accommodation in Venice now )

Prepare for the possibility of aqua alta (high tide) and you’ll be fine. The weather event happens during the colder months but it’s not predictable. Otherwise, enjoy a city which is not overrun by tourists. Take a vaporetto and see the building from the water, walk on the bridges, climb the bell tower of St. Mark’s and enjoy the Italian cuisine.
