July is the height of summer - a period of freedom, warmth, sea, sun and festivals. Europe is bathed in sunlight, so the number of tourists in Mediterranean resorts is increasing, and in the tropics the dry season is just starting, the best time for observing wildlife. Arctic regions are also becoming more accessible.

Regardless of the preferences of tourists, everyone can find something interesting for themselves in the summer. We are talking about the top destinations in July 2023.
