Sweden\u2019s Midsommar takes the top spot as the ultimate Summer Solstice celebration, scoring 64 out of 100. As one of the biggest events of the year here, people immerse themselves in maypole dancing and enjoy traditional summer foods to make the most of \u2018white nights\u2019. With a comfortable average of 14\u00b0C in June, the weather is ideal for outdoor festivities without the risk of sweltering heat. Its popularity also already speaks for itself, with over 132,300 TikToks and 12 million annual searches. <\/p>\n
Summer Solstice at Stonehenge takes second place, with a score of 33. Based in Wiltshire, England, and free to access, people can watch the sun rise behind the \u2018heel stone\u2019 as the rays channel into the centre of the monument. Built in 2,500 BC, Stonehenge was designed to align with the midsummer sunrise and midwinter sunset, making it one of the most iconic places to celebrate the longest day of the year. With a similar average June temperature to Sweden (15\u00b0C) and fewer searches made (43,200), it\u2019s already cemented itself as an iconic event. <\/p>\n
Rounding off the top three is the Summer Solstice in Giza, where the setting sun aligns perfectly between the Great Pyramid and the Pyramid of Khafre. With the ideal viewing location being in front of the Great Sphinx, people can enjoy watching the sun rise at one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. With a warmer June temperature of 28 degrees, it\u2019s the perfect spot for those looking to enjoy a more humid evening, and with a much smaller search volume (360), it\u2019s seemingly less popular than the other ranking events. <\/p>\n
