How to Stay Cool Amid Europe’s Summer Heat Wave

Discover essential tips for tourists navigating extreme temperatures this season.


As temperatures soar across Europe, tourists and locals can find cool respite in various locations and activities.

As Europe faces an intense heat wave this summer, both residents and visitors are finding it challenging to stay cool, often without the benefit of air conditioning. Prioritizing safety is essential, and experts recommend staying sufficiently hydrated. For travelers in bustling cities such as Paris, Rome, and Barcelona, there are numerous spots to escape the heat. The classic options include public pools and shaded areas in parks, but other, less apparent alternatives exist, like exploring underground tours or seeking refuge in historic cathedrals.

One of the overlooked yet effective ways to cool down is by visiting museums. These venues typically maintain controlled temperature and humidity levels to protect their precious art and artifacts, providing a natural respite from the blazing summer sun. While in Paris, consider checking out the Musée Marmottan Monet and the Musée de Carnavalet, both featuring cool lower levels.

In Barcelona, the Center of Contemporary Culture and the Museum of the History of Barcelona are included in a network of climate shelters, offering welcoming havens from the summer heat. These spots not only enrich your travel experience but also keep you comfortable as temperatures continue to rise across Europe.
