After 5 beach destinations for this November vacation we are going to introduce you 5 the most interesting places to visit this autumn.
1. London, United Kingdom
Air temperature: 9-13 °C.

November in London is a time of celebrations and lights. The city is lit with lights on November 5, the night of Guy Fawkes: at this time, Londoners burn bonfires and fireworks in honor of the failure of the Powder Plot of 1605.
In one week after Guy Fawkes night, on November 11, the townspeople will have a big celebration again. The reason will be the inauguration of the head of the City district, which is called the Lord Mayor’s Show. This is one of the oldest British celebrations, which is accompanied by a colorful carnival and ends with fireworks over the Thames.
And finally, in November the British capital will start preparing for Christmas. The city will be transformed by the holiday, Christmas fairs will be opened and thematic events will be held. In general, the feeling of joy and magic will accompany you at each step.

Another country that plunges into the atmosphere of the holiday in late autumn is America. And, of course, we are talking about Thanksgiving Day, which will be held on November, 23rd. Everyone who watched Hollywood movies knows that this is the best time to eat turkey and pumpkin pie.
The holiday will be celebrated all over the country, but the most important celebration, the Macy parade, will be held in New York.

On November 1 and 2, throughout Mexico, there is a very bright holiday – the Day of the Dead. Despite the fact that the occasion is not the most joyful (reverence for the deceased), the Mexicans manage to celebrate it with their usual merriment.
Celebrations are not limited to the usual visits to the cemetery and family meals. They not only create sugar skulls and colorful altars, but also organize carnival processions with music and other fun. Especially bright festivities take place in Oaxaca de Juárez.
