EUROPE IS OPEN…. LET’S GO!

While the news of Europe's gradual reopening to American travelers is causing excitement , the lack of unity and clarity on the rules is has translated into headaches for those who are anxious to start planning.

One thing we do know so far is that the welcome mat is being extended most enthusiastically to vaccinated travelers!  That said, testing is still required in some countries even with proof of vaccination. And a Covid test is still required of any traveler entering, or re-entering, the U.S.

While travel is booming in the USA and hotel rooms are hard to reserve wherever you want to go in the continental USA, Europe’s hotels are begging for customers.  It is summer and usually the “high season” in Europe with high prices and high airfares.  But not this year. While prices are not as low as they are in winter months…there are still bargains to be had. European countries are begging you to come and visit!

Here is a list that I have complied if you are anxious to go.  Countries that are currently open to U.S. visitors, as well as some major destinations that we expect to open in the near future; we expect to add more information as it becomes available. And as the regulations are shifting, it bears repeating that we all should stay abreast of the rules by visiting the CDC website, Reopen Europe and individual U.S. embassy and tourist office websites.  You can also call me for up to date information any time.  Better yet…call your trusted Travel Advisor as they have all the up to date information.

Here is a list of who is open or soon will be:

Albania/Croatia/Denmark/Finland/France/Greece/Iceland /Ireland /Italy/Malta/Portugal/ Spain/ Sweden /Switzerland/ United Kingdom/Germany and several more.

So, get out there and get going again!! Enjoy Europe!
