What people love about Europe Tours in July
- European Discovery (Summer, Start London, Classic)
I couldn’t have asked for a better trip manager than Rianna. She was well organised, adaptable and had a lot of knowledge of the places we went. Rianna also encouraged me to get out of my comfort zone and try so many new things and I am so grateful for that. She had heaps of connections in different places which meant we got to do some fun things we normally wouldn’t on a trip as well. I feel so lucky to have done a trip with Rianna and I would recommend her to anyone for the future.
- European Highlights (Summer, End Paris)
The entire trip was excellent. The coaches were very nice...a little wider seat would be more comfortable, however, for such long days of riding. The accommodations were varied but all very nice...each with its quirks and charm. In my humble opinion, a couple of things would make the tour a bit more satisfying: 1. The river tour should have more commentary...the person giving the few tidbits seemed not interested. There just wasn't enough information. 2. In Lucerne, eliminate the lake boat ride and spend more than 30 minutes at the top of Mt. Pilatus. As to the tour director, Pamela Rousso, she was excellent. This was a hard tour to orchestrate due to the time restrictions. However, she worked extremely hard to overcome weather issues and handle some people requests which seemed outrageous to me.
- Europe Jewel
Most amazing tour ever! Sarah being the sweetest tour guide managed to shed good advises for each and every stops. Would also remind us on the do(s) and don't (s) which as a tourist that's what needed most. Despite on certain stops in Italy, our lodgings were somewhat not as pleasant. However, in terms of the overall trip - it wasn't a grossly overturning point after all. Would definitely recommend to all friends who wished to have the best of both worlds "maximum of happiness + valuable trip"
What our customers ask about Europe Tours in July 2025
What are the weather conditions like across Europe in July?
Temperatures across Europe in July range from pleasantly warm in the north to hot in the south. Rome and Madrid reach up to 85°F (29°C) while Copenhagen and Berlin stay milder at around 73°F (23°C). The Austrian Alps provide a cool retreat with places like Hopfgarten averaging 68°F (20°C). Central European cities such as Budapest and Vienna can get quite hot. Many travelers opt for accommodations with cooling amenities like the Hotel Chedi Andermatt and Sofitel Munich to ensure comfortable stays during peak summer.
Which are the best European festivals and events to experience in July?
Europe's festival calendar peaks in July with signature events across the continent. The Running of the Bulls transforms Pamplona Spain (July 6-14) while classical music fills the streets during the Salzburg Summer Festival. Art enthusiasts gather at the Venice Biennale. Paris celebrates Bastille Day on July 14th with citywide festivities and Venice lights up during the Festa del Redentore. As one TourRadar traveler noted: "The outdoor festivals in Copenhagen in July were amazing - the whole city comes alive with music and culture."
How crowded are European beaches in July and which ones are best to visit?
While Mediterranean beaches draw large crowds in July smart planning helps avoid peak times. The French Riviera especially Nice and Monaco maintains its appeal with clear waters. Coastal gems like Sorrento and the Amalfi Coast blend beach time with cultural experiences. Barcelona's urban beaches provide easy access from the city center. Properties like Hotel Antiche Mura in Sorrento serve as ideal bases for beach exploration. A TourRadar traveler noted "The beaches in Sorrento were busy but our guide knew the perfect times to visit and the best spots to avoid crowds."
What are the best outdoor activities available in Europe during July?
The summer climate creates ideal conditions for outdoor pursuits. The Alps region offers paragliding in Hopfgarten Austria mountain biking through Swiss trails and refreshing swims in Mediterranean waters along the French Riviera. Hiking enthusiasts find their pace along Cinque Terre's coastal paths while Amsterdam's canals welcome boat tours and cyclists. A TourRadar traveler shared "Swimming in Lake Bled and hiking in the Swiss Alps were absolute highlights of our July trip - the weather was perfect for outdoor adventures."
How can I best handle the summer crowds at major European attractions?
Strategic timing helps maximize visits to popular sites. Early morning or evening visits to attractions like Rome's Colosseum and Paris's Louvre prove most effective. Many tours include skip-the-line access and special entry times such as early admission to the Vatican Museums. Central accommodations like London's Hotel Royal National or Hotel Casale Polegri near Rome provide quick access to main sites. A TourRadar traveler mentioned "Our trip manager helped us beat the crowds by arranging early morning visits to major sites which made the experience much more enjoyable."
What are the best day trips available from major European cities in July?
Summer weather makes day trips especially rewarding. Popular excursions include boat rides to Capri from Sorrento exploring the villages of Cinque Terre from Florence and wine tasting in the Beaujolais region outside Paris. Switzerland's Mount Pilatus offers panoramic views on clear July days. A TourRadar traveler recommended "The day trip to Capri was a highlight of our July tour - perfect weather for boat trips and swimming in the Mediterranean."
Which European cities are best for evening entertainment in July?
Summer nights bring European cities to life. Paris offers Seine River cruises and cabaret shows at the Moulin Rouge while Prague's Old Town fills with music and outdoor dining. Barcelona's Las Ramblas and Berlin's beer gardens create perfect summer evening settings. The Generator in Paris puts guests close to nightlife spots. A TourRadar traveler shared "The summer evenings were magical - from rooftop bars in Barcelona to outdoor concerts in Vienna."
