Itching for international travel? We have some good news on countries reopening for tourism after Covid-19. The European Commission has established the Digital Green Certificate as the way forward to facilitate travel across Europe post the coronavirus pandemic. Many EU member states will follow the coordinated Re-open EU approach plan to roll out the digital system by the end of June. We start to see a growing list of European countries reopening or planning to reopen their doors to outside visitors just in time for the summer holidays.
This Europe Covid-19 Reopening Guide is frequently updated to show country by country where you can travel right now and what are the entry requirements such as vaccinations, tests, and quarantines. We consider a country “reopened” only when foreign visitors can enter for non-essential travel (i.e. for tourism purpose). For additional details on individual countries, please also check the official links in the Details column.
