When will travel commence to Europe?

The travel world has been turned upside down; but don't despair, things are gradually making a come back. People are tired of staying at home and asking when will I be able to travel to Europe again? It's time to start planning and have something to look forward to!

Portugal was the first European country to re-open as fortunately it was relatively "Corona free". Cafes & restaurants there reopened in May, and hotels followed at the beginning of June with new hygiene measures. Locals and visitors are required to social-distance at all times and wear face coverings on public transport, with masks also recommended for all public outings.

Europe is slowly re-opening its doors as many of its iconic museums are finally preparing to re-open and lift the spirits of travelers who have been on lock-down for so long! In Paris, the Versailles Palace is once again open now, the Musee d'Orsay is scheduled to reopen on June 23rd, and visitors will be able to see the Mona Lisa at the Louvre soon as their scheduled reopening date is July 6th.

In Rome the Colosseum has finally reopened this month, as well as the Sistine Chapel, and the Vatican Museums. Major attractions first need to be made safe for staff and visitors. Some of Europe's other major cultural sites are also taking their time to reopen.

So what will the new normal look like - and what safety precautions will they we taking before re-opening?
Visitors will be required to wear protective masks and have their temperatures taken, and entrance times will be staggered to limit crowds.
