Why July is the perfect time to visit Poland, Malta, and Germany
July is the height of Summer in Europe — long sunny days, vibrant cultural events, and the perfect excuse to escape your routine and explore the continent’s most charming destinations. Whether you crave historic cities, coastal charm, or hidden cultural gems, the IBB Hotel Collection offers the ideal base for your summer adventure.
Here’s why Poland, Malta, and Germany should be at the top of your travel list this July – and where to stay for a truly memorable experience.
Malta: Timeless beauty meets Mediterranean magic
Malta is a summer dream. Think golden sunsets over ancient harbours, crystal-clear sea, and rich cultural layers shaped by centuries of history. In July, Malta buzzes with life. Local festas light up the streets with fireworks, music, and traditional food, while the sea offers a refreshing break from the heat.
IBB Hotel Palazzo Bettina, located in the historic Three Cities, offers a luxurious yet authentic Maltese stay. This meticulously restored baroque palace combines modern comfort with stunning architecture and spectacular views of the Grand Harbour. From here, you’re just a short stroll from Birgu’s waterfront restaurants or a ferry ride across to Valletta for summer concerts, open-air theatre, and vibrant nightlife.
Poland: A journey through culture and history
Poland in July is filled with energy — warm weather, blooming parks, and lively festivals make it the perfect time to explore this underrated gem.
Gdańsk, a Baltic city steeped in maritime history, boasts sandy beaches, charming cobblestone streets, and a buzzing food and arts scene. Base yourself at IBB Hotel Gdańsk, a stylish hotel right in the heart of the city, just moments away from the iconic Long Market and Motława River promenade. July brings open-air concerts and seaside fun just a tram ride away.
Further inland, Lublin offers a completely different rhythm — more relaxed, but rich in heritage. The IBB Grand Hotel Lublin, nestled in the city’s historic Old Town, invites you to explore medieval streets, vibrant markets, and cultural festivals. It’s the perfect mix of mystery, magic, and old-world charm.
Germany: Wine country, wellness, and walkable wonders
If you’re seeking an off-the-beaten-path German escape this summer, look no further than Ingelheim — the heart of Rhine wine country. July brings sunny vineyards, al fresco wine tastings, and local festivals that celebrate the region’s rich viticultural heritage.
Stay at IBB Hotel Ingelheim, a contemporary hotel just steps from the charming town centre and Ingelheim’s picturesque walking trails. The hotel offers direct access to the famous RheinTerrassenWeg, making it a great spot for scenic cycling and hiking routes. Take a short train ride to Mainz or Wiesbaden for riverside cafes and summer jazz events, then return to the peaceful comfort of your IBB base.
