With the summer holidays upon us many Brits will be looking to jet off in the coming weeks. Airlines have already seen a huge surge in demand for flights this year as people make the most of Covid restrictions being eased.
Although the UK removed all of its travel restrictions in March, other countries took a more cautious approach with several popular destinations only scrapping their requirements recently. However, Covid entry requirements remain in some countries so it's important to be aware of what they are before you go as you may need to show proof of vaccination or take a test before your travel.
Below is the latest entry requirements for popular holiday destinations in Europe. It's always worth visiting the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office website for the latest travel advice.

Full vaccination - you need to ensure you’ve had your booster jab if your last dose was administered more than 270 days before travel. Spain does accept the UK’s vaccination certificate
A negative Covid-19 test, either a PCR taken within 72 hours or an antigen test taken within 24 hours before travel
Recovery from Covid-19 in the last six months
UK passengers who can show proof of full vaccination or recovery from coronavirus in the last six months, or who are under 12 years old, do not need to complete Spain’s travel health control form. All others must complete the form no more than 48 hours before travel to Spain.
