Where should I travel in June?

June has the longest days of the year. Up north the nights are light, and southern Europe is in summer mode – but before the main school holidays.

    Almost round-the-clock daylight, waterfalls and highland roads that open during the summer. Perfect for a road trip.

    Lofoten, Norway

    Midnight sun from late May to mid-July. Dramatic peaks, fishing villages and hiking all night if you like.

    The Cyclades, Greece

    Warm and good for swimming, with fewer tourists than in July and August. Naxos and Paros are great for island hopping.

  4. The Dolomites, Italy04

    The Dolomites, Italy

    Hiking season begins as the lifts open during June. Green meadows and snow still on the peaks.

    Clear water and white beaches before peak season really starts. Good for a relaxed beach holiday.
