Is traveling to Europe on your summer bucket list? With all the amazing places to visit, you might be having trouble deciding exactly where to go. Here are some ideas from Frommer’s “Best Summer Destinations in Europe: Where to Go in 2024” list:
1. Greek Islands
The Greek islands are amazing for summer holidays, but remember that June is better than August to avoid big crowds on popular islands like Crete, Mykonos and Santorini. Fortunately, that still leaves over 200 inhabited islands to choose from, including the Cyclades and Sporades. The Cyclades offer white villages, blue-domed chapels and fiery sunsets over cobalt blue seas. The Sporades islands of Skopelos and Skiathos have golden sand and forests.
2. London
In August, the Windsors pack their bags and leave London for Scotland, opening the gates of Buckingham Palace for tourists to explore the gardens and decorations. Furthermore, the Palace of Westminster, below Big Ben, was home to the kings of England for 500 years. It is now where Parliament meets, and in the summer visitors can join guided tours when politicians are on vacation.
3. Switzerland
In summer, Swiss cows head to mountain pastures and that’s good news, as farmers turn their clean barns into economical haystacks, perfect for hikers enjoying the region’s stunning landscapes. Many farmers offer this service, most charging fees comparable to hostel rates.
4. Krakow, Poland
Although the winters are harsh, the summers are wonderful, especially in Krakow. Visitors will especially appreciate Rynek Główny, a gigantic medieval market square that comes alive in summer with street performers, cafes and horse-drawn carriages.
