Americans are now able to visit the European Union, vaccinated or not. The European Council has updated its list of countries whose citizens and residents should be allowed to travel freely to the bloc’s 27 member nations, and the United States is finally on it.
Following the announcement this June that Europe will open to U.S. travelers, pent-up folks are making plans. Especially when vaccinated, with money saved from the lack of travel opportunities in 2020, Americans are traveling again.
And most of us know people who are either in the process of going to Europe — or have already gone. Whether it’s strolling through museums in Paris, exploring ancient ruins in Rome, or walking along canals in Amsterdam, Americans are ready to experience the rich culture Europe has to offer, unavailable for so long.
