If you're looking for a city escape to live your European Summer dream, you've come to the right place! This is my 100% honest opinion of my 10 favorite European cities to visit in Summer. I see lots and lots of guides out there suggesting Paris (hello, has someone heard of the Olympic Games taking place?), Madrid (if you love 45° weather I guess) or Lisbon (great choice if you want to be 1 or 100 000 tourists). While these are all great destinations year-round, I don't think Summer is the right season to visit them. Personally, I'd go there in Spring or Autumn, not during the high season. Full disclosure, this is a no Greece, no Italy guide. You'll only find cities that I love, and I think are worth going to discover if you're looking for a short city-escape this Summer. What will you find in this guide? 📅 Recommended trip duration ☀️ Weather info 💰 Cost, $, $$ or $$$ 👉 Top 3 Activities in each city ⛰️ Top 3 Day-trip from each city 😴 $, $$, and $$$ accommodation options Which cities are you going to discover? 1.

Your 🆓 & paid guides for France, all in one place. A little bit more about myself: I was born in Paris and lived in Lyon for most of my life, I have always loved travelling and got into hiking / road tripping in my home country during the COVId-19 pandemic as travelling out of the country was more difficult and riskier, I got to discover many stunning places I may have never been to without a global pandemic forcing me to visit more of my own country ^^ Through these guides, I want to encourage you to explore France's hidden gems & most beautiful locations. TIP: If you wish to get a sense of where these locations are relative to major cities like Paris, Lyon & Marseille, make sure to use the map feature! I hope these guides will be useful and inspire you to explore more of the country.
