Holidays in July

Peak European summer: hottest, fullest and priciest. The month where going further often costs less than staying close.

July is when long-haul starts to look good value

European prices peak while several long-haul destinations are in their cheap season.

A fortnight in the Mediterranean in July costs more than many people expect, and it's 32°C with every resort full. Meanwhile East Africa is in the middle of its best safari season, Bali and Malaysia are dry, and Thailand's Gulf coast is at its best. If you have school-age children and no flexibility, book early and go north rather than south in Europe — Croatia's islands and northern Spain are more comfortable than Andalucía at 38°C.

Surviving July

Questions people ask

Is this a cheap month to travel?

School holidays move prices far more than the season does. Send us your dates and we'll show you what a week either side costs.

How reliable are the temperatures?

Typical daytime highs, not guarantees. We'll give you sea temperature too, which is what decides whether you swim.

Can you find something outside school holidays?

Yes, and it's usually 30–40% cheaper for identical weather.

What if our dates are fixed?

Book early rather than waiting. In peak weeks the good rooms go first and prices only climb.
