This month we will immerse ourselves in the magic of European Christmas markets, but we will also travel to some more exotic corners of the world. Our bloggers take us to destinations both near and far, so don’t miss their November travel guides.
Things to Do in Sibiu, Romania
Sibiu is one of those places we keep returning to — and it always has something special to offer. With its walkable old town, rich history, and friendly locals (many speak great English!), it’s such an easy and enjoyable city to explore. And if you’re thinking about going soon, now is a lovely time — the Christmas Market is running from 14 November 2025 to 4 January 2026. The whole city feels festive, warm, and magical. We’ve put together our favourite things to do, where to stay, and what to eat, all based on our visits over the years.

The magic of the Christmas markets in Cologne
Cologne is one of the most famous destinations for Christmas markets in Europe and turns into a true hot spot for tourists at the end of the year. The tradition of these festive events dates back to 16th–17th century Germany, and today millions of visitors flock to the city in the weeks leading up to Christmas. Along with Dortmund, Cologne consistently ranks among the most visited winter market destinations in the country. It’s known for its abundance of markets, lavish decorations, and diverse programs that fill the entire city with holiday spirit. Here’s what you can expect from the most magical time of the year if you decide to experience the Christmas markets in Cologne.
Marrakesh – Morocco’s colorful market
Marrakesh is called the „Red City“ of Morocco because of its characteristic red sandstone buildings. But once you visit the city, you realize that one color is too narrow to encompass it. Marrakesh bursts into an explosion of colors, aromas, and sounds that saturate the thirsty senses of the modern human. Marrakesh may be anything but boring. From the elegance of the Bahia Palace and the mysticism of the Saadian Tombs, through the impressive central mosque and the lively Jemaa el-Fnaa square, to the labyrinth of markets filled with spices and artisan treasures – everything here pulsates with life. Hidden among its bustling streets are mysterious buildings and tranquil gardens—oases of exoticism and art. They are all waiting to tell their stories, and in this story, I will try to cover the main sights in Marrakesh in two days.

Are you tired of the noise and the grayness?
It’s time to give yourself peace and quiet!
Amidst the golden slopes of Ihtimanska Sredna Gora, between Smolsko and Baylovo, lies a true autumn jewel – the Smolsko Dam.
Here, November is a palette of rich rust, fiery red and soft gold. It’s as if nature has painted its masterpiece and left us to enjoy it in complete peace and quiet.
