Although technically part of France, the island is very definitely Italian in its culture, the delightful mix of the two brings a unique element.

Another European city on our list (we told you June was a great time to visit Europe!), Warsaw is the capital of the great country, Poland, and an ideal destination for a long weekend break. Although many people choose to visit Warsaw during the winter months, due to its romantic architecture and scenery, June allows you to see the city’s parks and natural elements in their splendor.

5. Yosemite
The US has a plethora of places to visit, but if you’re looking to experience nature and get your hike on, then Yosemite National Park might just be the place for you. Particularly during June, this is a great place to visit, as the snow has cleared up, allowing you to see the park in all its glory, but the heat of the summer hasn’t stopped other natural elements from prevailing, such as the waterfalls. Flowers will be in full bloom and the weather will be clear, providing you with ample photograph opportunities, as well as creating amazing memories. This is a great place to visit, particularly if you have young children, who can explore the park with glee, spotting wildlife on the way.

6. Fiji
Fiji is not a small trip, as if you’re visiting, you’re probably visiting from afar. However, if you are planning on going, consider June, as this is when the weather is at its best, but the prices are still lower than during the high season. With clear water and sandy beaches, it’s no wonder why this is such a popular destination. Ideal for honeymooners or those looking to find a bit of peace and quiet and romance, Fiji has a plethora of activities and excursions that will keep you on your toes, and then chill out in the evenings.
Top things to do whilst you’re there: put your snorkel mask on and swim your way through the many islands nearby, explore the Garden of the Sleeping Giant, and take a hike through the many amazing forests.
