Europe

Throw a dart at a map of Europe and it’ll land on a spectacular summer destination. The whole continent is bursting with culture, cuisine, and once-in-a-lifetime activities. Here are just a few of the best places for summer fun.

  • Reyjkavic, Iceland

Although you might experience chillier weather in Iceland than many other summer hotspots, you’d be hard pressed to find a better place to spend your summer. During the summertime, it remains light in Iceland until past midnight, so there’s a nightlife unlike any other.
Reyjkavic is also home to the Secret Solstice, one of the most exciting summer festivals in Europe. A recently developed festival (the first was held in 2014) Secret Solstice is fast growing into one of the most well-attended festivals around.

  • Cassis, France

It’s not a summer Europe trip without a stop in France. Cassis is a far cry smaller than Paris, but consequently has a much calmer feel to it. You’re still surrounded by French cuisine and culture, but with half the crowds. Enjoy some delightful French cafes before you saunter off to the beach for the afternoon. Being a port town, many sea tours are offered in Cassis, as well.

  • Valencia, Spain

All of Spain is prime for summer holiday making, but Valencia has an extra charm to it. The perfect destination for a more intimate getaway with close friends or a loved one, Valencia holiday packages are in high demand. Your Valencia trip will take you from relaxing beaches to glorious medieval castles with authentic Spanish cuisine popping up every step of the way.

Asia

If you feel like a big change of scenery, then spend your summer in Asia. Some of the clearest ocean water and best summer weather can be found around Asian coastlines. Here are some Asian destinations that you’ll be bragging about to friends and family for years to come.

  • Nha Trang, Vietnam

This is your Vietnamese beach destination. There’s a swath of small islands dotting the pristine bay here and the beaches are to die for. Nha Trang is one of the best places to visit in Vietnam, especially during the summer. Here people enjoy a whole host of watersports including undersea walking and flyboarding.

  • Paro, Bhutan

If you’re less of a beach hound and more of a nature freak, there’s still a lot Asia has to offer you. The Himalayan destination of Bhutan is a nature lover’s dream come true. Booking a Bhutan holiday package will be a nonstop experience of touring Bhutan’s magnificent “Castles in the Air” and seeing some of the least spoiled nature the planet has to offer.

How to get the most out of your summer expedition

Whether your travels take you to Europe or Asia, you’ll want everything to be perfect. And that means you’ll want to keep in touch with all your contacts while you travel, if only to boast about your fabulous adventures. And should you need to pull up Google Maps while you’re abroad, you certainly don’t want to be using data through your home network. Instead you’ll want to swap your cell phone’s normal SIM card for a global SIM card, which will give you access to data in foreign countries at local prices (an eliminate the risk of roaming charges).

And just like vacation homes and holiday packages, SIM card companies often run summer deals. BNESIM, which sells global SIM cards, international phones, and global wifi hotspots, is currently running a summer promotion of their own for Europe and Asia. From now until August 31, anyone who buys an unlimited plan in Europe or Asia gets a free GB of data valid in 64 different countries. The data doesn’t expire, either! So if you’ve got a hot trip planned for this coming winter, you’re more than welcome to carry the data over.

BNESIM’s Summer Offer is a great excuse to get yourself a global SIM card, which all worldly travelers should have. A global SIM from BNESIM gives you service in 170 different countries with no hidden fees or roaming charges. All data is prepaid and can be topped up online anytime, anywhere. No more hunting through foreign convenience stores for prepaid local data cards, and no more hassling with your phone before each international trip. With a BNESIM global SIM card, one card can really prepare you for any adventure you undertake.
