Summer Destinations That Defy The Beach-break Culture

1.Iceland

Iceland is one of the Nordic countries. During the winters, the entire country is blanketed in white snow and the temperatures are freezing. During the summers, however, the scenario is very different: the snow melts to water the blooming greenery and the sun comes out to dress the day. Waterfalls start pouring again, some of the most scenic ones are the Gulfoss and Skogafoss waterfalls. Tourists can even hike giant glaciers. Iceland is a great family destinations because of the numerous picnic spots it has (only during the summers). Soft grass and expansive lakes while you have sandwiches and wine is like a dream. Experiences are simply different here; the ice caves are very popular for the magical blue hue they give out from over you. Perhaps the most enthralling moments of an Iceland tourist is during whale watching. Orcas, humpbacks and even Blue Whales can be spotted!

If you're still adamant on visiting the beach, be sure to take a stroll at Iceland's black sand beaches.

2.Finland

The capital of Finland, called Helsinki, has rather an unusual attractions. Many consider the lifestyle and localities to be one of the attractions. This city is for ones who like geometry, trends and meticulous design; UNESCO has labeled Helsinki the city of design. The people also stay up-to-date with their fashion and the architecture is diversely modern.

The countrysides of Finland is a place worth meandering through – on a bike of course. Picturesque landscapes, friendly people and amazing picnic spots! Deeply bedded in the Finish culture is sauna bath. Take a dip to calm down and relax. Its marvelous that during the summers, the sun doesn't set in Finland (which is evident in the Arctic circle). The midnight sun is a spectacle to gaze at with your family. Another spectacle to gaze at are the auroras in Northern Finland that appear in September.

Most of these experiences are fully enjoyed during the summer since winters are freezing.
