Places to go on vacation in november
November is the perfect month to go on vacation. The weather is still mild and you can enjoy a variety of activities, from hiking to shopping to going to museums.
If you want to spend your time outdoors, consider going camping. It’s a great way to enjoy nature in all its glory and spend some time with friends and family. You can also rent an RV and drive around the country, stopping at different places along the way.
November is the perfect time to travel—the weather is warm and the crowds are gone. Here are a few of our favorite places to visit in November.
Melbourne, Australia
November is one of the best months of the year to visit Melbourne, Australia. It is in the shoulder season, so you will get the best of all things, including cooler temperatures, fewer tourists, and lower rates for hotels and airfares.

Weather in November is about perfect anywhere in the country, so you can easily set up base and take day trips from Melbourne to the Yarra Valley and the Mornington Peninsula.
Jamaica
While Jamaica is a lovely place to visit year-round, November offers travelers a chance to beat the high season rush; marvel in wonderful temperatures (the highs are about 89 degrees); and avoid the heavy rains common in May, June, and August through October.
If you’re looking for a deal, the best time to visit Jamaica for value is November through mid-December. Top tourist attractions like Negril Cliffs and Negril Beach are better enjoyed with fewer tourists, so you’ll garner the best experience visiting during this off-season month.
