Fjords, Alps and a thousand miles of Mediterranean shore
Top picks for November
Fjords cut deep into Norway's west coast, the Alps run through eight countries, and the Mediterranean shore stretches from Andalucía's white villages to the Dalmatian islands.
A few hours by train can take you from Neapolitan pizza to Basque pintxos or Hungarian goulash, past Roman roads, Gothic cathedrals and Ottoman bridges left by two thousand years of shifting borders.

Desert, delta and the greatest migration on land
Top picks for November
Between the Atlas Mountains and the Cape lie the Sahara, the Great Rift Valley and the Okavango, an inland delta that floods in the middle of the dry season. Each year the wildebeest migration circles between Tanzania's Serengeti and Kenya's Maasai Mara.
The histories are just as varied: Morocco's medinas, Ethiopia's rock-hewn churches at Lalibela, Zanzibar's Stone Town. So is the food, from tagine in Fez to injera in Addis Ababa and a braai in Cape Town.

From the Silk Road to the Ring of Fire
Top picks for November
Asia stretches from the Silk Road cities of Uzbekistan to the volcanic islands of Indonesia and Japan, with the Himalaya, Everest among them, rising in between. Temple cities such as Angkor in Cambodia sit a short flight from the beaches of Thailand and the Philippines.
Street food is a way of life here: pho in Hanoi, hawker centres in Singapore, ramen in Tokyo and dosa across South India.

Sandstone, souks and some of the oldest cities on Earth
Top picks for November
Wind shaped the sandstone valleys of Wadi Rum; the Nabataeans carved Petra into the cliffs to the north. In Oman, the Hajar Mountains drop into the fjord-like inlets of the Musandam peninsula.
Some of the first cities were built in this region, and its covered souks still trade in frankincense, saffron and dates. Meals are made for sharing: mezze in Beirut, mansaf in Amman, slow-cooked shuwa in Muscat.

Top picks for November
North America runs from Greenland's ice sheet, which covers about four-fifths of the island, to the red-rock canyons of Arizona and Utah. In between are the Canadian Rockies, the Great Lakes and the national parks of the American West.
Its cities cook to their own recipes: poutine in Montréal, gumbo in New Orleans, smoked brisket in Texas.

Volcanoes, cloud forest and the cities of the Maya
Top picks for November
Volcanoes line the isthmus from Guatemala to Panama, with cloud forest on their slopes and the Pacific and Caribbean coasts often less than a day's drive apart.
The Maya built Tikal, Palenque and Copán in these forests, and Maya languages are still spoken across the Guatemalan highlands. Corn is the base of the cooking, from tortillas and tamales to El Salvador's pupusas, alongside Mexico's moles and Costa Rica's gallo pinto.

Andes, Amazon and the glaciers of Patagonia
Top picks for November
The Andes run about 7,000 km down the continent, past Machu Picchu in Peru and Bolivia's Salar de Uyuni, the largest salt flat on Earth. East of them lies the Amazon basin; in the far south, Patagonian glaciers such as Perito Moreno calve into milky-blue lakes.
The food is regional: ceviche in Lima, asado in Buenos Aires, feijoada in Rio de Janeiro, arepas in Bogotá.

Volcanic peaks, coral banks and island rhythm
Top picks for November
The Caribbean counts more than 7,000 islands and cays, from the volcanic Pitons of Saint Lucia to the low coral banks of the Bahamas. Reefs, rainforest trails and white-sand beaches are rarely more than an hour apart.
West African, Spanish, French, Dutch and British influences shaped its music, from reggae and calypso to salsa, and its kitchens: jerk chicken in Jamaica, roti in Trinidad, rice and peas almost everywhere.

Reef, fiord and thousands of Pacific islands
Top picks for November
Oceania is mostly ocean: Australia and New Zealand, then thousands of islands spread across Melanesia, Micronesia and Polynesia. Its landmarks include the Great Barrier Reef, the largest coral reef system in the world, New Zealand's fiords and Palau's Rock Islands.
Pacific peoples have navigated these waters for more than 3,000 years, and feasts are still cooked in earth ovens: the hāngī in New Zealand, the lovo in Fiji.

About the numbers. These are the same researched figures as each country page's "When to go" section: average daily high and low, monthly rainfall and sunshine hours, from daily Open-Meteo data for 2020–2024, for each capital and for the climate zones of 26 large countries. We describe the month rather than grade it. The symbol: very hot at an average high of 35°C or more; snow when highs stay near freezing with snowfall; cold at 10°C or below; monsoon or storms in a place's wettest stretch; rain at 110 mm or more (more in the tropics); cloudy under 4 hours of sun a day; sunny with 7.5 hours of sun or more and little rain. "Best" months are each place's own best months by our reading (and at least the months its official tourism board recommends), never a forecast. The order of the top picks uses the same reading: in the tropics rain is judged by the wet and dry seasons and 30–33°C is normal warmth; months averaging 35°C or more never lead the beach or winter-sun lists, and Gulf and desert summers stay out of them. Countries the FCDO advises against all (or all but essential) travel to as a whole are never top picks and show no flight search; where the advice covers parts of a country, the card shows it and the links stay. A top pick is never in one of its markedly wettest months, and the top four spread across the region's sub-regions where there are good options. Fares are the cheapest return our flights search has seen for that month in the last week, not a live quote.
