With summer in full swing, Europe dazzles with visitors seeking idyllic coastal escapes, weekend city breaks and summer adventures to share with friends and family back home. The perfect month for the long-awaited summer holiday, the Mediterranean’s golden beaches come alive with families, friends and couples looking to unwind, make a splash and have fun. Destinations such as Spain, Greece and Italy bedazzle, not just for their stunning blue sea but their heavenly cuisine, charming towns and villages offering an authentic slice of life and their impressive vistas. Across the pond in the USA, explore the West Coast with its perfect weather and July 4th festivities as they celebrate their Nation’s birthday. If warm climes and bustling beaches are not your scene, swap summer for a spectacular winter embrace in destinations such as New Zealand with its snow-capped peaks and buzzing ski season for a proper adrenaline pumping adventure.
