European countries have opened their borders

Across Europe, governments have started to open their borders after weeks of closure during the coronavirus.


With the summer holiday season fast approaching, people across Europe have started to wonder whether they will be able to get away this summer - and how far they will be able to go.


The border situation remains a mixed picture across Europe, with each country imposing its own rules and its own timetable for re-opening.


For example, Austria opened its land borders with Germany, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Slovakia, Slovenia, Hungary and the Czech Republic on 4 June.


Belgium’s borders are closed and the country has banned non-essential travel abroad. The government has announced plans to reopen the border to citizens from the EU, the UK, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Iceland and Norway.


Bosnia and Herzegovina opens the border to citizens of neighbouring Croatia, Montenegro and Serbia - other foreign arrivals are not permitted. Bulgaria opened borders to EU, UK, San Marino, Andorra, Monaco, Vatican, Serbia and North Macedonia citizens. Croatia will reopen its borders to all EU citizens, including from the UK, with no obligation to quarantine.
