Unique Places To Visit for Euro Summer
What is euro summer? Literally, it refers to summer in Europe, which typically lasts from June to August. This is a time of great weather, with sunshine, warm temperatures, and little rain. Many Europeans take vacations during this time, and it's a popular time for tourists to visit as well.
More recently, "Euro summer" has also become a social media trend and aesthetic. It's used to describe a romanticized version of a European vacation, often focusing on fashion, food, and experiences.
Some places are overrun by tourists. Try to check out some off-the-beaten path destinations for a more boutique euro summer.
