Lisbon

Flight time from Moscow - 5 hours 40 minutes

The end of the world, one of the oldest and sunniest European cities - it's all about Lisbon. In November the weather here is more similar to September, so it is a good place to make up for the lack of warmth and sun that most Russians suffer from. You should come here for a relaxing holiday with leisurely sightseeing, port wine tastings and breakfasts at the legendary Pasteis de Belem cafe, where the famous Belem cakes are prepared: delicate puff pastry baskets with custard and cinnamon. It is better to travel around the city on the yellow tram - this is a special ritual for the Portuguese capital.

Bergamo

Flight time from Moscow - 2 hours 48 minutes

When traveling around northern Italy, many unfairly bypass the small city of Bergamo, which is located not far from Milan. Bergamo is beautiful for its ancient architecture, mainly Romanesque, and its calm pace of life. Three days of the November holidays are just enough to visit one of the best zoos in Italy, admire the Bergamo fortress of the same name and the Chapel Colleoni, try at least ten of the 250 types of pizza in the famous Da Nasty cafe and just warm up: the forecast promises sunny + 15 against Moscow +2 with wet snow.


Bucharest

Flight time from Moscow - 3 hours 15 minutes

The best way to celebrate Halloween belatedly is in the place where, according to legend, the most famous vampire in the world, Count Dracula, once lived - in Transylvania. Dracula's Castle is called Bran and is located near the city of Brasov, which is famous for its medieval-frightening atmosphere, and the wooded surroundings of which look most picturesque in the fall. Since you can only get here with a transfer in Bucharest, you have an excellent chance to get to know the Romanian capital at the same time: walk around the Old Town, visit the world's largest Parliament building and dine in the restaurant where the Peace of Bucharest was signed in 1812.


Barcelona

Flight time from Moscow - 4 hours 35 minutes

Autumn is the ideal time to travel to Barcelona. In summer, the capital of Catalonia is suffocated by the influx of tourists. In October and November, the flow of visitors decreases significantly, which makes it possible to calmly walk around the places of the legendary Antoni Gaudi.

To have time to see everything, it is best to stay in the center, for example, at the El Palace Hotel (The Leading Hotels of the World), whose rooftop offers an excellent view of the Sagrada Familia. Built in 1919, it retains all the glamor and luxury of the Roaring '20s. Woody Allen, Enrique Iglesias and Christina Aguilera like to stay here. The memory of famous guests of the past is preserved in six art suites, among which there is a Salvador Dali room, a unique version of the French chateau in which the actress and jazz star Josephine Baker once lived, a suite that was mentioned in his short stories by Carlos Ruiz Zafon, a room in his favorite the golden color of surrealist Joan Miró, the rocker suite of Rolling Stone guitarist Ronnie Wood and, of course, the room of the hotel’s founder, Cesar Ritz.

Dinner should be planned at Bluesman Cocktail Bar Barcelona, ​​where jazz and blues concerts are held in the evening. You can relax after walking around the city at the MayanLuxurySpa, where all treatments are based on the knowledge of the Mayan tribe, or in the mysterious Garden of Diana, located on the seventh floor.


Kaliningrad

Flight time from Moscow - 2 hours

If St. Petersburg is a “window to Europe,” then Kaliningrad is “Russian Europe.” During its history, Kaliningrad changed its “citizenship” several times, which left its mark not only on its architecture, but also on its atmosphere. There are three obligatory points on a trip to Kaliningrad and its environs: listen to an organ concert in the Cathedral, see all the bridges over the Pregolya River and visit the Curonian Spit park. Lovers of seafood will especially like it here: prices for seafood dishes, due to the proximity of the Baltic Sea, are much lower than in the central part of Russia, and the proximity to Poland, Latvia and Lithuania has a favorable effect on the variety of menus of local restaurants.


Sochi

Flight time from Moscow - 1 hour 50 minutes

The Black Sea resort of Sochi is a city with a unique climate: it is located on the territory of the world's northernmost subtropics, and therefore is both a seaside resort and a ski resort. For this reason, the high season in Sochi is all year round, and there is simply no better option for a long weekend.

The most popular destination of domestic tourism in Russia, Sochi has completely transformed after the Olympics - Soviet romance here coexists with very European and advanced holiday formats. Today, 66 sanatoriums, 20 boarding houses and recreation centers and more than 600 hotels are successfully operating in the city. The absolute leader in the booking and tripadvisor ratings is the Hyatt Regency Sochi hotel - and this is a rare case when the maximum user scores and the opinions of critics coincide.

The hotel is located in the center of old Sochi - just 200 meters from the Black Sea coast and Kurortny Prospekt. Location, sea view, distance to the beach, the presence of all the main attractions within walking distance - this is not the most complete list of hotel advantages. First of all, Hyatt Regency Sochi is appreciated precisely for the fact that it is really comfortable here in a Western way and has a Russian soul. Stylish, laconic rooms, carefully thought-out infrastructure (for example, a heated swimming pool or views of bars and lounges), impeccable service (nothing is impossible for local concierges) - all that allows the hotel to be considered a benchmark in the Sochi service market.

It is believed that this Hyatt is good for both business and romantic rendezvous, and in the local Passage restaurant the degree of social activity does not decrease all year round. In addition, it is in the fall that the Sochi Hyatt offers special programs for 3 and 5 days, designed for connoisseurs of spa holidays. They consist of a complex of rejuvenating treatments, group classes with a trainer and a balanced menu from the chef.

Abu Dhabi

Flight time from Moscow - 5 hours 20 minutes

The best destination for a short beach holiday in November is Abu Dhabi. At this time, the heat finally subsides, which allows guests of the UAE capital to get the most out of their vacation. In the morning, go sunbathing on the Central Beach, which received the Blue Flag award and is famous for its fine, almost velvety sand that does not heat up in the sun due to its coral origin. Then spend time shopping: for traditional oriental products, go to local bazaars, and for your favorite designer brands, go to ultra-modern shopping centers. One of your vacation days is worth devoting to the Ferrari World amusement park, which is located just 20 minutes from Abu Dhabi. The most famous attraction is a capsule that breaks through the roof and flies 62 meters up, after which it plummets down. You definitely won't forget this.


Tel Aviv

Flight time from Moscow - 4 hours 10 minutes

Tel Aviv is Israel's most advanced city and its nightlife capital. Take the time before sunset to stroll along the port, through the Kerem Hatemanim district, famous for its graffiti, or the original Bauhaus-style White City quarter, listed as a UNESCO heritage site. First thing in the evening, head to the Imperial Bar, considered one of the best bars in the Middle East.

Once upon a time, the Maldives was considered the privilege of the rich and was accessible only to a select few. But times are changing, world tourism is developing rapidly, and remote paradises have had to adapt to new realities. In hot tropical countries like the Maldives, The end of autumn is a good time to save a little, since the high season has not yet begun.

In November, the weather is beautiful on the islands and at sea: the air is warmed up to +30 °C, the water - up to + 28 °C. The monsoon season is receding and dry, comfortable temperatures are settling in. There is less chance of rain in the southern part - an atoll around which strong winds blow. On November 11, the capital of the state - the island of Male, which was initially unattractive, is transformed, everyone is preparing for the main national holiday - Republic Day. During the day, parades take place on the island, and in the evening bright fireworks are launched.

Country combinations vary, depending on your preferences. A sea cruise is a great opportunity to see many countries without straining. Unlike bus tours in Europe, you won’t have to sit in a chair most of the time and longingly watch the cities change outside the window. On board the ship you will have your own cabin, many services will be available from restaurants to gyms, water parks and spas, you will be entertained from morning to night by animators, and all you have to do is enjoy life and, if the water temperature allows, swim in open sea.

Important point Mediterranean cruises require a Schengen visa. The visa is issued for the country from which the departure will take place. Moreover, if the program involves at least one entry into a non-Schengen zone (Tunisia, Montenegro, Turkey, Israel with a visit to the Dead Sea), the visa must be multiple.

If you don’t want to bother with visas, you can try to find a sea holiday with cruises from Turkey without entering the Schengen zone, but they are extremely rare.

The price range is very wide - from 50 to 400 thousand rubles and above. For example, 7 days of vacation on a sea cruise in November with a visit to 3 countries will cost at least 95 thousand rubles for two.
