June is almost here, and that means summer is just around the corner. As the weather warms up, we all get the urge to let our hair down, turn up the volume, grab our shades, and go explore. The only problem is, how do you decide between all the tempting travel options? We've rounded up our picks for the best June travel destinations, whether you're in the mood for a relaxing getaway or an action-packed adventure.

Culture of Malta

Malta may not be the first destination that comes to mind, but this under-the-radar island is a real Mediterranean gem. Located off the southern coast of Sicily, it promises inviting weather and exquisite European architecture. And nowhere epitomizes this better than the capital, Valletta, which was designated by UNESCO as a protected World Heritage Site.

As if there wasn't enough culture here already, Valletta Film Festival 2019 runs from June 14 to June 23, with over forty feature films and twenty-four shorts to enjoy. The best part is, the films are screened in different squares and historic buildings throughout the city. So you'll be able to take in the beauty of Valletta while soaking up some cinema.

Perfect Cabo San Lucas

Cabo San Lucas doesn't need much of an introduction. This destination is one of Mexico's most popular, attracting tons of visitors each year. However, June might just be the perfect month to visit this inviting hotspot. First of all, the weather is warm, averaging in the mid 80s. It's hot, but not sweltering. The real draw, however, is the lack of crowds. Coming in June means you'll miss the spring breakers, and you'll be visiting before the waves of summer travelers. On top of that, you'll enjoy better prices as a result.

London Sunshine

London is one of the world's most popular travel destinations, absolutely packed with historical sights, impressive museums, and famous landmarks. However, just as famous as its attractions is its gray weather. Never fear, though — you aren't doomed to see London only in the rain. June averages seven hours of sunshine per day, making it one of the best times to visit the English capital.

A little bit of planning goes a long way when it comes to vacations, and often that means picking the best destination for the season. Go with one of our picks for the best June travel destinations, and you're sure to have a vacation to remember. And did we mention that each of these destinations boasts a lively Hard Rock Hotel?
