Where can you go on holiday in Europe as COVID-19 restrictions ease?

European countries are starting to relax travel restrictions, keen to lure back foreign tourists this summer as the number of new coronavirus infections falls.

Here are some of the measures:

Germany will lift a travel ban for European Union member states, Britain, Switzerland, Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein from 15 June.

Italy reopened its borders on 3 June to visitors from Europe, including the United Kingdom, unwinding one of the world's longest and most rigid lockdowns. Travel to and from non-European destinations will remain prohibited until at least 15 June.

Spain will reopen to international tourism from 1 July. Authorities hope to allow holidaymakers from some low-risk countries to visit before that date, after a national state of emergency ends on 21 June.

Britain people arriving from 8 June, including British nationals and with very limited exceptions, will have to self-isolate for 14 days.

France has said it wants the European Union's internal borders reopened from 15 June and has passed a law allowing it to impose quarantine on visitors from specific nations it deems necessary, with reciprocity a key factor.

Greece’s nternational flights to Athens and Thessaloniki airports will resume on 15 June. People arriving from locations deemed high-risk, such as the United Kingdom, will be tested for coronavirus. Those testing positive will be quarantined for 14 days. Those testing negative will have to self-isolate for a week.

Austria will lift all coronavirus-related border restrictions including quarantines from Thursday for new arrivals from all neighbouring countries except Italy.

Cyprus will allow visitors from Germany, Greece and a number of other countries from 9 June, provided they have a test up to three days before arrival showing they do not have COVID-19. That test requirement will be dropped from 20 June. Visitors from the United Kingdom and Russia, two major markets, remain barred for now.

Portugal nationals arriving from all other European countries except Spain and Italy can enter freely and there are no quarantine requirements.

Netherlands citizens of the European Union, Britain, Norway and Switzerland can visit the Netherlands. Borders remain closed to non-European travellers until 15 June.

Croatia has opened its borders to citizens of Germany and nine other mostly east European EU states. Other EU nationals need a reason to enter, such as a tourist booking confirmation.

Bulgaria's most European travellers are allowed to enter freely, but citizens of eight countries heavily affected by the pandemic, including Britain, Spain and Italy, must spend 14 days in quarantine.

Czech Republic will allow unrestricted entry for citizens of around 20 European countries from 15 June. Visitors from about a dozen other countries including Britain, France, Italy, Spain and the Netherlands will require a test or quarantine.

Hungary is expected to lift a state of emergency around 20 June. For now only foreign travellers from neighbouring countries are allowed in and some face a two-week quarantine.
