Where to go on holiday in November from London Luton Airport
Swap the pumpkin decorations for twinkling lights – November is here! It’s a month of transition, so mix up travelling to the first weekends of Christmas markets and relaxing in the winter sunshine. Here’s where you should travel from London Luton Airport in November.
Go to a Christmas market
There’s still a few weeks until Christmas, but why not get in the festive mood early with a trip to a Christmas market. The first Christmas markets of the season start in mid- November: Innsbruck begins its festivities from 13th November, followed by Tallinn a week later on 20th November.
Want a one-hour flight for an early Christmas weekend? Head to Strasbourg – the “Capital of Christmas” – and shop at over 300 stands along the Rhine river. If you’re wanting to travel further afield for a late November holiday, fly to eastern European cities including Sibiu, Warsaw and Bratislava.

Listen to a classic Italian opera
What do ‘La Traviata’, ‘Tosca’ and ‘Madama Butterfly’ operas all have in common? They were all composed by Italian musicians! Although listening to an opera may be worlds away from European music festivals, watching an opera can have a positive effect on mental health and wellbeing. And what better place to see and hear opera than in Italy.
Head to northern Italy and see an opera at Teatro La Fenice in Venice, or travel to the south of Italy for the lavish opera houses in Rome and Naples. Interested by opera culture, but haven't got time to squeeze in a show? Book an opera house tour and explore restricted areas to the general public.

Say cheers to Beaujolais Day in France
Every third Thursday of November, the French raise their glasses, tap the barrels and enjoy a late night glass of wine to celebrate Beaujolais Day. Watch the clock though! French law states beaujolais wine can’t be sold until 12:01am. Beaujolais Day 2026 falls on Thursday 19th November.
Want to celebrate a good wine? Travel to big cities in the Beaujolais region, including Lyon, for wine tasting across the city. Pair a glass of the local tipple with cheeses and dried meats to soak up French culture. For keen travellers who want to sample lots of food, drive to Beaujeu for Les Sarmentelles de Beaujeu: there’s brass bands, a torchlight parade, and the chance to taste a dozen wines.
