Where to go on vacation in July 2024? Our list of the 12 best places around the world to visit this year is further down in this article.
Majorca, Spain
Majorca is the largest island in the Balearic archipelago, which attracts travelers with its landscape diversity - the high peaks of the Serra de Tramuntana, which descend to fertile plains and numerous beaches.
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.
Dubrovnik, Croatia
Visit the sparkling coastline, stunning waterfalls and historic cities of Croatia this year to enjoy your summer vacation. One of the most popular cities in the country is Dubrovnik - the pearl of the Adriatic, which combines the best of Croatia.
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.
Amsterdam, Netherlands
July in Amsterdam is all about delicious food, good weather and a great mood. Vacations are best spent at Vondelpark, where you can often see free open-air comedy, dance and music performances, or visit the city's Roest beach, which features a jungle gym.
Udaipur, India
India has a lot to offer tourists all year round, but in July the temperature drops a little after the hottest May and June, so a trip here can be more comfortable.
Udaipur, known as the "City of Lakes", is a beautiful place in the heart of Rajasthan state with historic palaces, temples, a wildlife sanctuary and many shopping markets. Be sure to spend the evening at the rooftop cafe for delicious food and local views.
Montreal, Canada
Canada Day celebrations in Montreal last almost a whole month and are a period of summer fun in a city more often associated with icy winters. Be sure to visit St. Catherine's Street Fair (the largest in the country) and the world's largest international comedy festival, Just for Laughs. The National Circus School also organizes many shows that amaze guests. If visiting festivals isn't for you, fear not. July is a great time to discover Montreal and eat delicious food from the best chefs at Time Out Market Montreal.
Singapore
Singapore is a dream for all lovers of good food, because there is something to taste here all year round, but true gourmets should go here in July, when the Singapore Food Festival takes place. From culinary workshops in fine restaurants to street food extravaganzas, this week-long celebration of local flavor is not to be missed. Also, check out the Great Singapore Sale which runs for almost the whole month and offers great deals and great discounts for visitors.
Provence, France
From Avignon and Marseille to Nice, St. Tropez and Cannes, Provence is full of historic and stylish towns. Come here in July to taste the delicious rosé wine of Château Gassier, whose tastings are usually held outdoors. Also visit the lavender fields around Aix-en-Provence and Senanc Abbey before the harvest to see the fairytale scenery of Provence for yourself. Afterwards, join the Fête Nationale or watch the Tour de France.
South Island, New Zealand
Numerous ski slopes, luxurious hot springs and the opportunity to watch whales, the South Island of New Zealand is a good place if you are planning a winter holiday in July. In the coldest months, you can also see the Northern Lights here. Head to Mount John Observatory in Tekapo, located in the International Dark Sky Reserve, for stargazing.
