Which European destinations are best to visit in June to avoid peak summer crowds?

Eastern European destinations like Krakow Budapest and Ljubljana typically see fewer visitors than their Western European counterparts in June. One traveler shared: "We loved exploring Budapest in June - the thermal baths weren't overcrowded and we could easily get tables at popular ruin bars like Szimpla Kert." Northern cities including Copenhagen and Hamburg provide a good mix of pleasant weather and manageable crowd levels before the July/August rush.
