Early summer is one of the most beautiful times of the year—not just because it already carries the promise of hot summer days, even here at home, but also because its many public holidays make it perfect for a few short getaways. Here are the best travel destinations for June 2025:

Lake Wörthersee, Austria

Climate: Average daytime temperatures around 20°C, 10 hours of sunshine per day, 10 days of rain in June

Reason to book: In summer, Lake Wörth—with its iconic turquoise hueis considered one of Austria’s top hotspots. But the early season is especially charming, as it's still quieter. When morning mist rises from the lake and the surface lies still as glass, it creates a truly magical atmosphere. By late June, the water warms to a pleasant 22°Cperfect for falling off your paddleboard without a chill. There are also fewer boats on the lake at this time, making it even more idyllic. In June 2025, events like Ironman Austria, the Velden Sports Car Festival, and the Wörthersee Kirchtag bring plenty of variety to the region.

The spa—truly one of a kind—treats guests to exclusive treatments and high-end products. A top choice for art lovers, style aficionados, and discerning travelers.

Climate: Daily highs around 22 °C, 8 hours of sunshine per day, 8 days of rain per month in June

Reason to book: London is close by and always has something to offer - ideal for the long weekends in June. It might be busy, but when is the British capital ever quiet? Events such as Trooping the Color (June 14), the London Design Biennale (June 5 to 29) at Somerset House, the Taste of London Food Festival (June 18 to 22) in Regent's Park and London Fashion Week are just some of the event highlights in June. Markets, open-air theaters, rooftop bars and swimming in Hyde Park are other early summer experiences in London. The Warner Bros. Studio Tour, which is dedicated to the making of the Harry Potter films, also offers the special feature "Triwizard Tournament" until mid-September.

Nestled between Hyde Park and Green Park, it offers a peaceful setting while still being within easy walking distance of the city’s top attractions. Built in 1851 by Robert Fleming, it’s one of the oldest hotels in the city—yet it feels anything but outdated. The property is made up of 13 townhouses and now features 129 rooms and suites. The Michelin-starred Ormer Mayfair and an on-site gym round out the experience.

Climate: Average temperatures around 22° C, 6 hours of sunshine per day, 4 days of rain per month in June

Reason to book: June marks the beginning of winter in São Paulo, which means the weather is mild and relatively dry—perfect for long walks along Avenida Paulista or through the historic city center. World-class exhibitions at the Museu de Arte de São Paulo (MASP) or the Pinacoteca offer plenty of cultural variety. The traditional June festivals (Festas Juninas), with Forró music, local dishes, and dancing, are also a big hit with visitors. One major reason why São Paulo is among the top travel destinations in June 2025 is Pride. From June 19 to June 22, 2025, the city hosts the largest Pride festival in the world, attracting between 3 and 5 million people each year.

Check in: The 101 Hotel is not only an impressive design hotel, but also one of the favorites of model and actress Diane Kruger. The boutique hotel welcomes its guests in a former office building. Modern rooms and apartments right in downtown Rejkjavík are by no means all that the hotel has to offer. For example, there's also a hotel art gallery with works by local artists.

Climate: Daily highs of approx. 33° C, 12 hours of sunshine per day, 2 rainy days per month in June

Reason to book: Sunseekers can look forward to 26°C water temperatures, sunny days, and hot weather—without the extreme heat of July and August, thanks to lower humidity levels. School holidays in Central Europe haven’t started yet, so it’s far less crowded than during peak season. For a break from the beach, the nightlife and shopping scenes in Alanya or Antalya offer plenty of variety. Day trips to ancient sites like Aspendos, Perge, Side, Pamukkale, or Myra are definitely worth it.
