November doesn't offer the best conditions for travelers. Daytime temperatures can drop as low as +8°C, and storm warnings are frequent in Rotterdam and The Hague.
Nevertheless, excursion vacations in Holland in November are consistently popular. The exceptionally low rates for flights, accommodation, and entertainment more than compensate for any inconveniences.
Prior to the pre-Christmas rush, the average price for a tour to the Netherlands in November 2016 is only around 990-1200 EUR. In the final week of the month, prices start to rise, reaching the 1300 EUR mark.

Budget tours to the Netherlands in November appeal to two specific categories of tourists: passionate fine art enthusiasts and free-spirited individuals. Empty museum halls provide solace for the aesthete, while those seeking alternative experiences can enjoy the International Hemp Festival, where various cannabis strains are sampled. Interestingly, this is the only day of the year when law enforcement turns a blind eye to public drug use.
Folklore enthusiasts aim to book tours to the Netherlands in the autumn of 2016 for mid-November, hoping to witness the vibrant St. Martin's Day celebration in Venlo. The saint's parade in a luxurious carriage, accompanied by an orchestra, is far from Christian asceticism. Still, the jubilant crowd doesn't question theology, honoring the saint by tossing food baskets into the air, daring them to catch fire while in flight.
An autumn thermal holiday in the Netherlands is also worth considering. The walls of the Thermae 2000 spa offer a formidable barrier against inclement weather, and the fortress town of Valkenburg provides a captivating sightseeing program and excellent local cuisine.
