Last update: 01/22/2022
Europeans can travel to 123 countries right now. However, travel restrictions for EU citizens depend on the destination and the exact country in Europe they are traveling from.
As of today, most European tourists can travel to 30 countries without COVID-19 restrictions. While EU travelers are only required to present pre-trip COVID test results to travel to 68 countries, Europeans are subject to mandatory quarantine for 23 other international destinations.
Although, in this guide, you will learn where Europeans can travel now, bear in mind that the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control advises against traveling unless it is strictly necessary.
In addition to the European travel restrictions that you will find in this guide, which we update daily, I recommend checking the travel advisory website for the country you are traveling from.
On the following map of countries open to EU citizens, you will find all the places Europeans can travel to right now.
We’ve sorted the countries Europeans can travel to by entry requirements.
I’d like to point out that it’s essential to have travel insurance that covers COVID-19, whether or not it’s an entry requirement for your destination (although many countries already include it in their entry requirements).
Also, these new COVID-19 entry restrictions do not exempt travelers from needing a valid tourist visa if it was already required before the pandemic. You can check whether you need a visa to travel below.
Additionally, keep in mind that some countries may go into lockdown after opening their borders to tourism. We have written specific guides for all the places Europeans can travel to, where you can find out the current situation in the country, if there is a lockdown or curfew mandates in place, and if hotels, restaurants, and attractions are open to tourism.
Below, you can see where Europeans can travel to, as well as entry requirements for EU citizens and important information to consider.
If you’re wondering where to travel right now, Albania, which has been open for tourism since June 15, 2020, is a great option, since there are no entry restrictions for Europeans. There’s no need to take a PCR test before your flight or quarantine upon arrival. All you need to do is undergo a health screening when you arrive in Albania.
