Condé Nast Traveler

Long evenings bleeding into warm nights made for zipping around on a red Vespa. Gelato melting faster than you can eat it. Aperitifs and sardines at a delightfully chaotic taverna. Nothing spells summer like a European sojourn. While Paris, Rome, and Lisbon will always have our hearts, quieter versions are beckoning, too. Pristine Italian islands. Design-obsessed Northern capitals. Cobblestoned old towns in Estonia few tourists have discovered. Whether you're in the mood to revisit the evergreen favorites or sidestep the crowds entirely, we have you covered.
