You couldn’t pay me to visit Europe in July again. After nearly melting in Rome’s record heat, I’ve become a shoulder season convert—think April or October. Same dreamy cities, way fewer crowds, and you can actually breathe (and afford it). Or, I swap the Med for a coolcation up north—Scandinavia’s endless daylight is a game-changer. Bonus: fall and spring mean cheaper flights, cozy hotels, and real local vibes. Trust me, Europe is so much better when you’re not sweating through your shirt! #Travel #TravelTips #Europe
