Where to Travel in May & June
Spring in Europe is a delight. Seasonal specialties—including zucchini, asparagus, and strawberries—highlight dishes you won’t experience any other time of year. Farmers and vintners work their fields, prepping vines for the season or planting crops. Festivals and blooming flowers add a celebratory atmosphere to medieval towns. Closer to home, in the American West, destinations like Montana and Colorado turn green with spring rains.
