Quarantine regimes are gradually being relaxed in European countries. What can now be done in each specific country in Europe — and what is not?

EU countries have not yet introduced vaccine passports, which are due to be submitted in July, but as the tourist season begins, domestic restrictions are becoming less.

We talk about the restrictions in force in the largest countries in Europe and whether they are open to tourists. Of the European countries, only Greece, Croatia, Montenegro and Cyprus are now accepting Russians.

Poland

Indoors, you must wear a mask, a distance of 1.5 meters is observed.

Opened:

  • Hotels, shops, restaurants and bars.
  • Museums, galleries, cinemas and theaters (occupancy rate — 50%)

On June 6, the country plans to open gyms and amusement parks, as well as allow weddings with up to 150 guests.

Portugal

Portugal has lifted many of the rules introduced in connection with the pandemic, but the state of emergency in the country has been extended until June 13. For Russian tourists, the country is closed with the exception of the island of Madeira, where you can come if you have a negative test for coronavirus.

  • Masks are required.
  • On weekdays, shops close at nine in the evening (on weekends — at seven in the evening).

Restaurants and cafes serve visitors in the institution, but a maximum of up to six people at one table (on the street, ten people can sit at a table).
British tourists in Portugal had to quickly change plans last week after Britain struck the country off the «safe» list over concerns about a Nepalese mutation of the so-called Indian variant. Since June 8, in accordance with the new status of the country, the British are not recommended to travel to Portugal, and those who return will need to be isolated for 10 days.
