Ayon kayMeghan Hayes, an ACC travel advisor affiliated with MEI-Travel, each European country is handling travel restrictions differently right now. "Most are requiring travelers to be fully vaccinated. Spain is requiring boosters for vaccinated visitors. Germany is requiring visitors to fill out a digital registration form. France, which is between both countries, isn't requiring either of those to travel," she explains.

The best rule to keep in mind—especially if you plan on traveling between countries—is to check with each individual country before crossing borders, since restrictions and regulations may change from day to day.

While it is highly suggested that everyone who plans to travel get vaccinated against coronavirus, if you choose not to do so, some European countries will still allow entry. "Most European countries allow entry to unvaccinated travelers provided they can show proof of a negative test result (usually from within 24-72 hours of arrival) or proof of recent Covid recovery," says Matt Berna, Intrepid Travel's Managing Director for North America.ae0fcc31ae342fd3a1346ebb1f342fcb

Some places to consider for unvaccinated travelers include Denmark, Sweden, and the United Kingdom, which have dropped all pre-entry requirements according to Hayes. Other destinations that allow unvaccinated travelers who are willing to take a PCR test include Malta and Greece. Each country has slightly different rules for when the PCR test should be done, so be sure to check with your travel agent or the website of the country you want to visit for the latest PCR testing guidelines.

Finding a flight to Europe is easier than ever, according to Hayes. "Larger airlines like United and Delta have both announced they're expanding their routes and adding back non-stop flights that were previously offered."

Non-stop flights to Europe can be found all over the country, but you may save some money if you're willing to have a layover or two or take a flight that's at a less desirable time.
