June is one of the best months to explore European destinations. You cannot choose wrongly, no matter what country you have in mind. Northern Europe is warm now and Southern Europe is not yet hot. The tourists are not all over the places, either.

With that being said, it is hard to narrow down choices, so we went for five of the least obvious European destinations to visit in June.

European Destinations to Visit in June: Stockholm, Sweden

June average temps: 19 C / 67 F
Average accommodation price: from 49 EUR per night , discounted, in a double room (book your accommodation in Stockholm)

The capital of Stockholm comprises 14 islands, connected by 50 bridges. A cosmopolitan city, it has a lot of things to offer. Spend time in the enchanting Old Town or just do some people-watching in the parks. If you feel like exploring, how about taking a ferry between the super islands of the Stockholm Archipelago?

European Destinations to Visit in June: Zagreb, Croatia

June average temps: 22.8 C / 73 F
Average accommodation price: from 40 EUR per night in a double room (book your accommodation in Zagreb)

With the peak season for Europe just around the corner, consider June for visiting Zagreb, Croatia’s capital. The weather is already warm but the tourists are yet to flock here. Combine it with a trip to Budapest, as the two capitals are linked by good train connections (albeit the trip is 6 hours long).

European Destinations to Visit in June: Amalfi Coast, Italy

June average temps: 25 C / 77 F
Average accommodation price: from 97 EUR per night in a one bedroom house (2 adults) (book your accommodation in Sorrento)

Looking over the Mediterranean and just a stone’s throw away from Naples, you can find the gorgeous Amalfi coast. Stay in Positano or Sorrento. And since you are in this area, don’t forget to visit Herculaneum and Pompeii .

European Destinations to Visit in June: Ios, Cyclades, Greece

June average temps: 26.7 C / 80 F
Average accommodation price: from 25 EUR per night , discounted, in a double room (book your accommodation on Ios)

Locals say that they don’t know what to suggest when someone asks when it’s the best time to visit Ios. One thing is for certain: you want to avoid the peak season (July & August). June is just perfect, with amazing weather, good bus connections on the island, and a ton of things to do. Consider taking the short hike between Mylopotas and Klima, or just soak up the sun on the lovely beaches.

European Destinations to Visit in June: Bucharest, Romania

June average temps: 26 C / 79 F
Average accommodation price: from 19 EUR per night in a one bedroom apartment (book your accommodation in Bucharest)

Romania’s capital turns into an oven come July but June is a nice month to check out this vibrant city. By day, spend time in one of the lovely parks and by night, explore the nightlife in the Old Town. A host of museums complete the activities you can do while here.
