For travelers looking to follow the family’s lead, Iceland can make for a “coolcation,” a getaway centered around escaping high summer temperatures in favor of a cooler destination.
The country offers milder weather along with plenty of opportunities to explore the outdoors, from waterfalls and hiking trails to hot springs and other natural attractions.
June through August marks the country’s busiest travel period, as longer days and milder conditions make it easier for visitors to spend time outside, according to magazine Travel + Leisure.

Even at the height of summer, Iceland remains chilly compared with many traditional vacation spots. Reykjavík generally sees temperatures in the 50s, while the country’s northern location means daylight stretches well into the night, Travel + Leisure reported.
Summer also gives travelers access to areas that can be harder to reach at other times of year, including mountain roads and hiking trails. The season is a popular time for whale watching, with June and July among the best months for sightings, according to the publication.

Scotland offers another way to trade summer heat for time outdoors, with temperatures topping out around 63 degrees during the season, according to the outlet. Visitors can use the milder weather to explore the Highlands, tour castles or head for the coast.
