COVID in Europe: An updated list of travel restrictions for every European country

Most countries have travel restrictions in place in a bid to control the spread of COVID-19.

The latest big changes include:

The EU has recommended that from 1 February anyone travelling from within the bloc will need only a basic ‘green pass’ health certificate, which can be obtained via vaccination, recovery, or a recent negative Covid test, and remove the need for self-isolation. However, not all countries have stated that they will adopt this rule so check with your destination.

Greece removes testing requirements for vaccinated travellers from 7 February.

Face masks are no longer mandatory in the UK.

Travellers to the Netherlands with a booster vaccine will no longer have to quarantine from 2 February.

Denmark and Norway lift all domestic travel restrictions from 1 February.

Switzerland and Austria have relaxed travel restrictions for UK travellers.

Sweden has dropped the requirement for proof of a negative test from arrivals.

This article is updated regularly, but rules change quickly so please check official government advice before travelling.

Measures to contain COVID-19 remain in effect, including night-time curfews from 11pm to 6am, and mandatory face masks indoors and on public transport.

All land borders are open and there is no restricted movement around the country.

All foreign nationals over the age of six must have one of the following: proof of vaccination, a negative PCR test taken less than 72 hours before arrival, a rapid antigen test taken less than 48 hours before arrival or evidence that you have recovered from COVID-19 within the last six months.

If you are travelling from a country not on Austria’s safelist you will need to complete a pre-travel clearance form.
