BEST DESTINATIONS TO TRAVEL IN NOVEMBER

A Global Wanderlust Guide for Indian Travelers

- Sandesh Bhosle

November is the perfect time to take a break from bustling cities, Diwali hangovers, and the onset of chilly weather. While our cities start to cool down, the outer world presents itself as a vibrant palette of destinations to explore, from the autumnal hues of Europe to the sunny coasts of the Mediterranean and the exotic charm of far-flung places.

These destinations offer the chance to see the world through a different lens, where the pace is slower, the experiences richer, and the paths less trodden. Here’s a guide to the best destinations you should visit this November, curated especially for the discerning Indian traveller seeking diverse experiences.

LISBON

PORTUGAL

As Europe braces for the chills, Portugal remains delightfully mild, especially Lisbon, where November temperatures hover around a perfect 18°C. This makes it a superb pick for Indian travellers craving a European city break without freezing temperatures. Lisbon, now considered one of the trendiest cities in Europe, is an eclectic mix of high-end yet affordable dining, lively bars, and chic concept stores. Don’t forget to hop on one of the iconic canary-yellow trams that whisk you through its cobbled streets. Dive into the local culture at Cais do Sodré, a once-gritty neighbourhood now transformed into a vibrant hotspot with a picturesque riverfront, converted warehouses, and the must-visit Mercado da Ribeira food hall. Lisbon has recently been crowned Europe’s most budget-friendly city – a fact any Indian traveller would appreciate!
