No visit to Cambodia is complete without a visit to the fascinating ruin city of Angkor, which takes most people’s breath away. And November – the start of the dry season – is a really good time to explore the country’s rich cultural heritage before the high season really gets under way.
And it’s also a great month to get out on the water, with a beach holiday on the small paradise island of Koh Rong, for example, or in the coastal town of Kep, one of Cambodia’s best-kept secrets.

Argentina – Contrast-filled experiences from north to south
Argentina, the land of tango, delicious wine and landscapes that take your breath away, offers diverse and contrasting experiences in November. From the vibrant city life of Buenos Aires to the breathtaking landscapes of Patagonia.

The spring months beckon with their sunny, warm weather and nature in full bloom – a fabulous time to experience all the exciting experiences Australia has to offer, especially those that take place outdoors.

Mauritius – Island paradise in the Indian Ocean
Picturesque Mauritius is a dream destination – in November, too. While we start preparing ourselves for winter in Europe, Mauritius welcomes you to its summer with warm temperatures.
It’s the ideal time to explore the beautiful sandy beaches, lush nature and captivating villages. Mauritius has something for those wishing to laze on the beach, a drink in hand, and for those wishing to experience much more than that.

Thailand – Tropical happiness and cultural experiences
We can all agree on Thailand’s attractiveness. And the dry season starts in November in most of the country, including the southern coasts, making it an exceptional month for adventure and relaxation alike.
