As record-breaking temperatures continue to dominate headlines across Europe and beyond, Brits are increasingly rethinking what they want from a summer holiday. Instead of chasing the hottest destinations, many travellers are embracing the rise of the "cool-cation".

For those looking to enjoy a holiday without battling extreme heat, here are the top 3 destinations that you should have on your list this summer:

Norwegian Fjords: Visiting the jaw-dropping Norwegian Fjords allows you to explore spectacular landscapes, mountains, and waterfalls.

Iceland: From lava fields to waterfalls, lagoons to hot springs, modern architecture to Viking artefacts, Iceland has something for everyone.

Finland: Home to thousands of crystal-clear lakes, vast forests, and spectacular Arctic landscapes, Finland is an ideal destination for nature lovers, culture enthusiasts, and adventure seekers alike.
