The Great Smokey Mountains
America’s Most Popular National Park

Stockholm, Sweden
Summer in Northern Europe
Weather-wise, June is the ideal time to visit Stockholm to take advantage of most of its cafes, attractions and open-air museums.

Before the summer’s scorching heat arrives in July, enjoy the Mediterranean’s long sunny days, warm waters and gentle breezes.
