- June is a great time to travel the world. Presented below is a list of the best places to travel to in June.
- Greenland: This is the place where you can see the magic of the midnight sun. After late May the sun remains in the sky till the end of July. The low midnight sun bathes the icebergs in pink hues, the mild rays of the sun warm the fjords, and there exists an otherworldly feel across the gorgeous summer landscape! Do not miss out on the midnight boat tour in Ilulissat, where you can marvel at the wondrous phenomenon of light flirting with angled and ridged ice as you snake between huge icebergs. Also, there is folk dancing, music, exhibitions, and special events at museums, etc. June 21st is the year’s longest day and it is celebrated as a National Day.
- Croatia: The country used to be regarded as the quieter and less expensive alternative to a vacation in Italy. Now, Croatia has become one of the most popular holiday destinations in the world, especially during summers. There are many festivals in the different islands in June; you can dance, have fun, and have the time of your life. You may also go for a yacht cruise or have a peek at the rich culture and history at Dubrovnik.
- Salt Spring Island, Canada: June is the most popular time to visit this tourist hot spot in the Southern Gulf Islands. The markets and restaurants are abundant in freshest foods and delectable cuisines; there is plentiful sunshine; and exhibitions of locally made art, crafts, woodworks, jewelry, and other goods are a sight to behold. The island is covered with Douglas fir and thus ideal for a cycle tour or an explorative hike across the beautiful landscape. June is also the best time for spotting whales in this region.
- Southern France: In June, the temperature is ideal for fun time at the beaches of southern France. It is also the time just before the summer crowd begins to descend into the region. Towns along the French Riviera are replete with music concerts and dancing through the night. Nice, Cannes, and St. Tropez are famous for their old-world charm and charisma. Languedoc is less crowded and quieter; it is known for its pristine endless sandy beaches, little quaint markets, vineyards, and pretty villages. Other beautiful places to visit are Champagne, Uze, and Les Iles D’or.
- Assam, India: June is the beginning of the rainy season in India and it lasts till September. It is thus the off-season for tourism, but this is also the period when the country witnesses some of the most mesmerizing festivals. June is when India, particularly Assam, celebrates the Ambubachi Mela festival. Assam is an Indian state located in northeast region of India. It is home to jungles, tea plantations, the one-horned rhino, and tigers.
- Tourists can check out the fascinating Kamakhya Temple in Guwahati (capital city of Assam) and then delve into the wild celebrations of Ambubachi Mela at this very temple. Thousands of ascetics or sadhus throng the temple and conduct Tantric rituals to mark and rejoice the fertility goddess’ menstrual cycle. More than 1 million pilgrims visit the festival every year.
- Amalfi Coast: It is one of the most beautiful places on earth. Even though June is sunny, the tourist crowd only begins camping here in July and August. Thus, you can soak up the sun in peace and enjoy the picturesque landscape full of kaleidoscopic hued homes and buildings with spires and decorated domes that overlook the serene Mediterranean Sea from the sheer cliffs they dominate. A few villages/towns that are a must visit include Ravello, Amalfi, Positano, and Cetara.
- Devon, UK: It is one of the best places in the UK to enjoy a classic beach vacation. The area is picturesque and just lovely! It is home to rocky moors, long sandy beaches, coastal pathways, and charming fishing villages. The entire region is being redeveloped; you can go cycling at the newly built Drake’s Way and Exe trail; hikers can revel in the great outdoors at Dartmoor; have a drink and dance at the best pubs; sail along the south coast and surf along the north coast; and explore the new cosmopolitan Plymouth or the sparkly new seafront at Torquay.
- While in the UK, you may also visit London. It is most vibrant in June. Locals love the long evenings and can be seen in pub gardens, on terraces, and on streets enjoying the sunshine. You can try out different cuisines, have a bite of the renowned street food, visit eccentric cafés, and discover the unending delights that the city has on offer.
