There is a lot of sun in Mallorca in July, the average air temperature is 25°C, and the amount of precipitation is almost zero. Beaches during this period are filled with bustling tourists, and local restaurants and bars serve freshly caught fish and delicious Spanish wines.

It is also the season of festivals. In mid-July, it hosts the La Verge del Carme festival, which inspires coastal fishing communities to celebrate with fireworks and music.

July 2024 is truly special as it marks the beginning of the 75th Dubrovnik Summer Festival. The six-week extravaganza of open-air theater, plays, classical concerts and art exhibitions within the walls of the ancient city starts on July 10.

Reykjavik, Iceland

If you really love the sun, then plan a trip to Reykjavik in Iceland in July, not only because of the bright summer days, but also the bright summer nights brought here by the polar day. Seljalandsfoss and Skogafoss take on a new charm in the constant light, while Strokkur, a mighty geyser, casts strange shadows as it spews hot water high into the air.

Since it's almost always daylight, you can visit the sights at any time to avoid the crowds. Complement these advantages with convenient infrastructure and numerous delicious restaurants, and you will get the perfect place for a summer vacation.

Cape Town, South Africa

If the constant sun and a large number of tourists do not combine with quality rest for you, then take advantage of the opportunity to visit places where others do not go. July in Cape Town is the middle of winter, which means the weather here can be chilly and cloudy. However, this city blooms precisely in the month of February.

The air temperature varies between 13-18°C, there are few tourists, so you can easily choose what to do. Take a morning walk in the mist to hidden waterfalls in the dense forests before retiring to the open fireplace in the pub with mountain views.

Whale watching season also starts here in July. Join a local excursion boat to get up close and personal with these strange creatures.

Hoi An, Vietnam

The central coast of Vietnam is undoubtedly one of the best places to travel in July, as the second month of summer is warm and sunny here. Summer Hoi An is all about ancient streets with wooden teahouses and temples. Visit one of the tailors during your trip to get a custom suit or dress made in just one day. Take a scooter ride to the white sand beaches of nearby Da Nang and head to the incredible Golden Bridge, held up by giant arms jutting out of the ground.

Madagascar

Summer in Madagascar is the dry season, making it the perfect time to explore the island's incredibly diverse wildlife. While staying here, be sure to take a walk along the unusual avenue of baobabs and visit the local lemurs. Also spend a few days at the local beaches.
