Re-open EU provides real-time information on borders, available means of transport, travel restrictions, and public health and safety measures, as well as other practical information for travellers. Simply choose your destination to view information on the interactive map.

How can I enter the country? What services are or aren’t available? Do I have to wear a mask? Will I have to quarantine when I get there? Are there any other restrictions in force? Re-open EU gives you the answers to all of these questions and is constantly updated to make sure all your travel plans go smoothly.

Re-open EU is a reliable source as it gathers together the most recent updates from all EU countries and the European institutions.

The platform is available in all 24 official EU languages.

To check it out, simply go to https://reopen.europa.eu/.

If you plan a trip outside of the EU, you should know that the Council recently agreed to start lifting travel restrictions to residents of some countries. Check the list of the countries.

Wishing you a lovely summer and a safe trip if you’re travelling!
