Williamsburg
#5 in Best Places to Visit in November
While summer in Williamsburg, Virginia, can be hot and humid – not to mention crowded – fall brings refreshingly cool weather to this charming town. In November, average temperatures hover between the low 40s and low 60s, and the gorgeous fall foliage provides the perfect backdrop for touring Colonial Williamsburg, the Yorktown Battlefield and Jamestown. Because kids are still in school, you’ll likely encounter fewer people at these famous historical attractions. Another bonus: Starting in mid-November, Busch Gardens puts on its annual Christmas Town holiday event, which features lights displays, festive rides and themed shows.
Maldives
#6 in Best Places to Visit in November
The Maldives is consistently warm year-round, but some of the best weather happens during its dry season. November marks the beginning of the transition out of the wet season, offering sunnier days that are ideal for lounging on the island nation’s white sand beaches and enjoying water sports activities like windsurfing and Jet Skiing. This month also brings increased water visibility, making it one of the best times for snorkeling and scuba diving. When you need a break from the water, there are plenty of sights, markets and restaurants to explore in the capital city of Malé.
