With so much to offer it’s hard to find something not to like about Majorca you can go cheap and cheerful, family friendly, all out party, serene and exclusive in a private villa or a bit of everything! We recommend the North and East Coasts for families, but pretty much everywhere has something to offer the little ones.

But if you are looking for beaches somewhere different in July you will be astonished at the magnificent sandy beaches here where the temperatures are in the mid twenties, averaging around 23°c / 73°f. Most of the visitors are local so it’s definitely off the tourist route, but travellers go out our their way to see the famous sand dunes of the Slowinski National Park and unpoliled nature. Visit the pretty fishing town of Lebe and the busy city of Gdansk for medieval architecture, historic landmarks and modern hotels and buzzing bars.
Austria: By July in Austria it’s getting very hot, and averaging 26°c / 79°f it’s often closer to 30°c / 86°f, so Austria is not just great for skiing! With a mountain landscape of snow capped peaks and sparkling blue lakes, Austria in the summer is straight out of a postcard. Walking, relaxing and bathing in the mountain lakes in July is a great way to unwind from city life and smell the gorgeous alpine flowers. Even it’s capital city Vienna has it’s lakes to cool off in, take a boat ride from the baroque Old Town down the Danube into the Donau-Auen National Park, or join the many visitors to Vienna’s very own island – the Danube Island, with several long beaches to relax on. Of course pretty Vienna has more than it’s fair share of things to do, but Salzburg and Innsbruck also have plenty to offer tourists.

Canada

Canada – Toronto: If you want to visit Canada in the summer, July in Toronto is a fantastic 25°c / 77°f and upwards! Scare yourself with an Edgewalk on the CN tower and if you are brave enough to look up you’ll be rewarded with incredible views on the city. The city and it’s July festivals will keep you busy enough, but if you fancy making the most of that sunshine you can take a short ferry ride out to Toronto’s islands where you’ll even find a beach and wading pools. And for those that like to party get yourself down to the Entertainment District between Queen St and Lakeshore Blvd W, there’s a serious club scene in the Warehouse area and some fantastic bars to party the night away. Niagara Falls is only an hour or so away by car to the south or head up to Lake Simcoe an hour north for some swimming, fishing and boating surrounded by splendid views and fresh air!

Africa

Kenya: If you’ve always dreamed of glimpsing the Great Migration, then get yourself to Kenya in July. It’s the dry season and millions of animals swarm across the plains looking for water, so it’s a great time to see Wildebeest and Zebra as well as Elephants. Your best bet is to join a tour, where your knowledgable guides will transport you safely through the terrain to the best sites, cooking fresh food for you and helping you get the best out of your Safari. You don’t have to rough it, Kenya has some amazing luxury camps and great boutique hotels as well as more authentic camping where you’ll be roughing it in tents on the move to really discover some of the very best wildlife experiences.

The heat is a comfortable 23°c / 73°f average high.

South America

Peru: Visiting Peru in July is a great idea as it’s the peak of the dry season up in the mountains. However it’s also the busiest time of the year so expect it to get busy in the main tourist areas such as Machu Piccu and the Inca trail. The weather will always vary between the jungles, deserts and mountains of Peru. Down on the coast in Lima in July it can often be misty and cloud covered and around 20°c/ 68°f or so, and is hotter with less cloud cover in February. But for the Inca trail, little rainfall and minimal cloudcover in July means great climbing and trekking and a lot less mud! It tends to be around 21°c / 70°f and of course will get a lot chillier in the nights. Most people get to Machu Piccu via the fascinating city of Cusco which sits at over 3000 metres above sea level, so while you are acclimatising for your Machu Piccu trek enjoy the ancient delights of this Incan Capital for a few days and the plenty of wonders that surround the city. Discover the Amazon Jungle in the south east of Peru, and visit the deserts for white sand dunes hundreds of metres high, or arid expanses with the phenomen of the ancient Nazca Lines.
Venezuela: Venezuela is a great holiday destination any time of year, being close the the equator temperatures tend to remain fairly constant. There is more rainfall from June to November but it doesn’t have a dramatic effect and in July it means the impressive waterfalls will be flowing instead of a dry riverbed, the most well known being Angel falls. The coastline is on the Caribbean and the beaches are typical powder white sands, venture a little further and you’ll encounter coffee plantations, mountains, wildlife like you’ve only ever seen on Nat-Geo, buzzing cities and spectacular rain forest.
