Where to go in mid-November?

It depends on what you define as decent. We used to go to London almost every Nov/Dec for about 20 years. Had the occassional bit of rain or clouds and temps were sometimes a bit chilly (low 40s/upper 30s) and had snow flurries twice. But we really enjoyed it. I love the Christmas markets and there werea always some we could get to by train as day trips. We also have been to Edinburgh and Inverness. Bit colder and had real snow once. We've also been to Vienna and Salzburg in Nov. Definetly colder, but still enjoyable. If you are looking for warmer, sunnier climes, I'd suggest you look at Greece or maybe southern Italy. Maybe even Spain or Portugal. I haven't personally been there in the winter, but you can bet some on this board will share their experiences. Maybe you could post on some of the more "specific" sections, like "to the boot" to learn more about those areas.

I'll be traveling from Nice, France, to Southern Italy in November....Rome and further south should be warmer than the north.... I'm thinking about spending time in Cefalu (Sicily), Sorrento, and Rome from about Nov. 5 to Nov. 22.... It seems that rain may be the biggest weather-related problem. I'll take a scarf, longjohns, and rain gear.....If you want to visit a city, consider Palermo or Rome.

London in winter is convenient and always scenic. great theater and shopping for unique items. And you may even be able to get close enough to see the Changing of the Guard. If the weather is bad in London in any year its bad all over Europe. Also snow does not accumulate in London, what little they get melts almost imediately.

For November go anywhere in "Southern Europe." The further South the better; be sure it's on the Mediterranean coast.

You might enjoy Athens and a main land trip to Nafplion, Epidaviros, Mykenae. On trip advisor, I have seen recommendations for Crete at this time of year.
