Going out for ice cream and fresh air is crucial in this hot weather. However, not any spot can qualify for a refreshing walk; it’s best to go for more distant and spacious areas to avoid the humidity and crowds. Here, we recommend six fantastic spots for ice cream in 6 different areas that are great for night walks in the summer.
