10 Best Places to Travel in June
Photo by HandmadePictures/Shutterstock Cape Town is among our top ten destinations for June. It’s officially summer somewhere—the Northern Hemisphere, to be exact. But vacation planning follows the Happy Hour rule (if it’s 5 p.m. somewhere, you can sneak in a snifter), so use it as an excuse to take the year’s headline trip this month. Perhaps you fancy exploring Britain to help the Queen celebrate a country-defining milestone, or heading to one of the most charmingly retro U.S. And finally, travelers will certainly love lounging and soaking up the sun by the large swimming pool overlooking the bay, surrounded by swaying palms and fragrant flowers.
We know a design gem when we see one, and this chic hotel certainly fits the bill.
