The 7 best places to visit Italy in June

1. Burano Island – a colorful gem

When it comes to traveling to Italy, people immediately think of the romantic city of Venice. But believe it or not, there is a village that makes tourists much more “heartbroken”. I have fallen in love with this place until now. Therefore, this is my first suggestion about the best places to visit in Italy in June.

Located in the Venice lagoon, the island of Burano with its rows of brightly colored houses is used as a beacon for fishermen to find their way home after a long day at sea.

Visiting the captivating island of Burano is an absolute treat for enthusiasts of architecture and artistry. Its charm lies in the vibrant rows of houses resembling a picturesque rainbow, each painted in bold hues. According to the fishing village people, decorating their houses with bright colors helps them find their homes more easily. Bright, vibrant colors also help them feel more optimistic in life.

Nestled between these colorful facades, charming canals flow with crystal-clear waters, adding to the island’s enchanting allure. The scenic beauty and artistic ambiance of Burano create an unforgettable experience for every visitor.  What’s more wonderful than an afternoon of immersing yourself in a poetic space, admiring peaceful life through cheerful colors?

2. Tuscany – The peaceful beauty of paradise

It’s not the famous cities around the world like Rome or Venice, but the Tuscany countryside that left me with the most memories on this trip. This same land is the place that when I left I immediately wanted to return, the place where staying for a week a month is still not enough.

Is the thought of sipping a glass of world-class wine made directly from the vineyard and immersing yourself in the fresh air there enough to make you eager to experience Tuscany this summer? Writing this, I have to quickly take back the bottle of wine I bought here and sip a little. Wow…it couldn’t be better!

Not only famous for its premium grape fields, Tuscany is also known as the dream land of paradise (La Dolce Vita). This place has the beauty of harmony between the mountains and the sea, between nostalgic beauty and elegance and nobility – One of the best places to visit in Italy in June you must go!

Coming to Tuscany, you can choose lovely apartments in ancient towns. However, for me, I definitely have to rent a farm because for a long time, I have watched movies about Italy and still dream of the day I can live on hectares of farms like this. I want to open my eyes every morning to see the cool grasslands, hear the chirping of birds and fill my chest with sweet, fresh air that you will never find in urban areas.

3. Amalfi Coast – the winding roads

I visited this place in September but heard reviews that summer is also very chill so I decided to visit in June. This time, when traveling to explore the Amalfi Coast, I used 100% public transportation, extremely economical and effective.

Sorrento was my first sightseeing stop on my journey to discover the best places to visit in Italy in June. This place is extremely colorful and cute, with souvenir stalls and pretty streets like a fairy tale under the Italian sunshine. And go to the panoramic view point, see the panoramic view of Naples Bay from Sorrento, the vast deep blue water, captivating those who love the sea.

I walked here for about an hour, then returned to Sorrento station to catch the bus. The bus runs from Sorrento to Positano, about more than 1 hour on the bus, watching the beautiful winding Amalfi Bay sea, remember to get on the bus and sit at the window on the right side. In Amalfi, I was even more chill, went out to eat ice cream, then sat down and enjoyed the view of the central square with the Amalfi Cathedral and its beautiful steps. I walked around freely and enjoyed the breeze, never getting bored.

4. Lake Como – natural beauty

Lake Como is very large and surrounded by many beautiful villages. Looking at the map, there are probably no less than a dozen villages such as Bellagio, Tremezzo, Varenna, Como, Lenno, Bellano, Menaggio, Cernobbio, Argegno, Gravedona… (It seems like there are 10 already, right guys, but please note that there are still a lot left). You must come here – one of the best places to visit in Italy in June. It won’t be a waste of your time!

In addition to walking around the village, you can choose a few outstanding villas at Lake Como to visit because this place often has the best views. Under the bright sunlight of May days, Lake Como appears with an extremely attractive blue color, dotted with the clear blue sky and the rolling mountains spreading their arms around it. There was something cool and cool about the weather, and something refreshing and clear about the air. It felt like I had just drank a glass of pure, sweet filtered water.

5. Puglia – summer paradise

Puglia is my next suggestion in the list of best places to visit in Italy in June. If you need a real hideaway, this is your paradise! Coming here, I feel like I am separate from the hustle and bustle world out there. Fresh air, delicious food, enthusiastic service and especially full Internet. I must say it’s absolutely amazing.

Located in the south of Italy and bordering the sea, Puglia is the number 1 choice for those who want to find a summer “escape”. The architecture here is mostly cone-shaped stone vaults that are bleached white, flanked by shady vines. Puglia is surrounded by clear blue sea water and rocky outcrops – products of mother nature, all creating beautiful scenery like in a fairy tale.

I don’t remember clearly how much time I spent in this beautiful space, but the feeling of “falling in love with no end” is almost real :)).

6. Dolomite – best place to visit in Italy in June

I still remember the feeling of relaxation when enjoying the magical beauty of nature, away from crowded cities when coming to Dolomite. If you have a lot of time to wander around this beautiful boot-shaped country, don’t forget to visit the Dolomite Mountains in the Alps in Northern Italy.

The landscape in Dolomite is likened to a majestic landscape painting with steep, high and steep rock “walls” and narrow and deep valleys. The breathtaking, indescribable beauty of the Dolomite deserves to be listed as a world heritage site by UNESCO in 2009. Please, come here, it’s not a waste of your time!

Well, if you have the internet, call your friends and relatives so they can admire this place with you. I use eSIM throughout my journey to do this. Other travel enthusiasts have told me that one-of-a-kind moments need to be shared with your loved ones, because they only come around once in a lifetime. Even if you go back and forth, you won’t be able to get the same feeling as you do now.

7. Positano village – famous fishing village worldwide

Positano village is like a place to “purify” the soul, a place to filter away the fatigue of everyday hustle and bustle or the noisy dust and smoke of the city. Coming to Positano village, I feel like coming to an underground paradise, where people live with all the serenity, lightness and generosity!

Positano is a fishing village on the Amalfi Coast. Unlike the brilliant Cinque Terre coast or the splendid Burano island, Postino has a gentler and quieter character. I like the feeling of floating here, very strange! This is also my last suggestion in the list of 5 best places to visit in Italy in June.

The houses are located on steep cliffs but are built artistically with layers of delicately coordinated colors. As a combination of charming scenery and creative human hands, Positano village brings me wonderful moments of enjoyment. Coming here, you can immerse yourself in cool blue sea water and admire the beautiful natural landscape like a dream.
