The 25 best holiday destinations
The beer gardens are bursting and the piazzas
are packed: it’s summertime in Europe.
But where should you go on holiday in June; that magic time when the Med
twinkles winsomely from dawn until dusk, and nights that resemble day
urge spritzes on canals and sangrias in cobbled squares long after
twilight? As the continent basks in the beginnings of busy season, it’s
a fine time to be a pioneer – to find local beach scenes and hot
nightlife in lesser-visited corners (many of which you can even reach by
train). Or super-size it and strike out for North America,
land of largesse, where vast landscapes are showing off their summer
glow, and big cities crank up their festival calendars.
