We’re going to look at some of the best places to visit during June.
And in case that isn’t enough material for your daydreaming, make sure you scroll through the gallery above to see charming images of each tourist location.
1. Stockholm, Sweden
After a long, cold northern winter Stockholm comes alive in summer with concerts, festivals and open-air food halls bringing life to the European city.
2. Havana, Cuba
June is the beginning of hurricane season in the Caribbean, but Cuba is much less affected that the other islands, offering idyllic, languid summer days.
3. Bordeaux, France
There are few places more glorious than sunny Bordeaux in June, with most of the château wineries open for tastings, and an enthralling landscape to explore.
4. Boston, USA
It’s one of America’s greatest walking cities and in summer Boston comes alive. Explore Faneuil Hall, cheer on the Red Sox at Fenway Park, walk the grounds at Harvard and spend an afternoon shopping at some of the family-owned boutiques on Newbury Street.
5. Zagreb, Croatia
In many ways June is Croatia’s sweet spot. The days are warm and long but the crowds aren’t quite as intense as they are in July, giving you an incredible opportunity to explore the iconic coast, offbeat museums and enjoy a meal at the stylish bistros.
6. Beijing, China
With no Chinese holidays or national celebrations in June, visitor numbers are low making it one of the cheapest times to visit China’s mighty capital. It’s refreshing to visit The Great Wall and Tiananmen Square and not have to deal with the crowds.
7. London, England
London’s incredible to visit all year round, but it really comes into its own during June where you can stroll around this glorious city during the long, light evenings.
8. Nuuk, Greenland
This is a great time of the year to visit Greenland as it gives you an opportunity to bask in the strange midnight sun phenomenon that has to be witnessed!
9. St Petersburg, Russia
Russians shed their fur coats in June, where the city enjoys a month of festivities. It’s peak period, but definitely the best time of year to witness the historic sites.
10. St Kitts, Saint Kitts and Nevis
High season is tapering off, and the rainy season is just around the corner, so June is one of the sweet spots in terms of visiting this Caribbean paradise.
