There’s so much to love about hot summer holidays. From endless sunshine and days at the beach (or on boats), to late dinners or sunsets and forming a daily gelato self-care ritual. Choose to take your summer break in Greece, hopping between islands. Or venture to the Rockies, where adventure and nature are waiting. Or slow down in the Tuscan countryside, where rolling hills, vineyards and long, lazy lunches lie. It’s never too early to start dreaming about your summer holiday. So whether you’re ready to kick back on a beach, explore nature or bounce between Europe’s great cities, here is where to travel in summer.

Why Choose Costsaver for Summer Travel?

Hot spring in Yellowstone with various colours, with trees in the foreground

Best places to visit in June

June is a magical time for summer holidays. Often you’ll beat the crowds but still enjoy amazing weather. Go on a safari in Kenya, explore America’s national parks like Yellowstone before the waterfalls dry up, or enjoy a subtropical winter on Australia’s Great Barrier Reef.

Best places to visit in July

Book ahead if you want to enjoy a beach holiday to Greece, Turkey, Italy, Croatia, Spain, or Portugal. In July catch the fragrant lavender fields of Provence, enjoy the lush greens of Ireland, spot brown bears in Scandinavia, and – if you time it right - see the Great Migration in Tanzania.

Best places to visit in August

Summer holidays are at their peak in Europe, so you’ll want to plan ahead to beat the crowds or score a seat on tours. It’s the best time to visit destinations like the United Kingdom (where Edinburgh Fringe takes over in August), Scandinavia, and national parks in North America.
