We have been eagerly waiting to travel freely like before. But as the Covid 19 pandemic keeps stretching due to various factors and the emergence of Omicron, the new virus variety, causing episodic Covid flare-ups, creating travel plans amid the turbulent times is quite challenging. When choosing some travel destination, you should focus on safe places to travel during Covid, which includes countries where you can tread without the fear of falling sick. Remember that these are Covid-safe countries as no government has yet declared Covid-free. Also, keep in mind WHO’s statement – nobody is safe unless everybody is safe. With that in mind, you can go through the list of safe places to travel right now as listed below. However, the countries you choose might help to fulfill your desire to travel, but given an option would perhaps not be on your bucket list.
Although travel to these countries is open that do not require Covid19 testing or quarantine, it is advisable that only those fully vaccinated should travel now. Assuring your safety will give you more confidence to enjoy your travel even more.
Ireland
Ireland has always been an attractive destination for travelers and remains one of the safe places to go during Covid. It’s great news for travelers that Ireland is one of the green countries that lifted all travel restrictions on January 22, and you can travel freely without any Covid19 testing. Moreover, there is no quarantine requirement, so you can straightaway head for your hotel from the airport just as you always did before the pandemic. However, you need to wear some face-covering like a mask in indoor public places and public transport and busy or crowded places to comply with the local laws.
Irelands has long captured the imagination of travelers with its great literature, tales of history, and the endless sources of Celtic mystery. The rugged beauty of Donegal and Connemara, the wild coasts of Kerry and Cork, and the central hub of Dublin are must-go places. While exploring the charming country, please drop into some of its classic pubs to enjoy a few pints.
Germany
Germany is a big name in the safe places to visit during Covid.
As of January 28, Germany welcomes tourists from the EU member states and Switzerland, Norway, Liechtenstein, and Iceland; the Schengen associated states, and six non-EY destinations, namely Hong Kong, New Zealand, Macao, Indonesia, Taiwan, and South Korea. People from all these countries can travel without restrictions.
American travelers can visit Germany depending on the vaccination status and epidemiological condition, subject to approval by the German authorities.
Frankfurt, Munich, and Berlin have always attracted high tourists because of their rich cultural heritage and history. The tourist attractions spread far beyond the superb cities as travelers can explore the North, which does not have the fame it deserves. The hiking adventures in the wild forests of Bavaria can set the adrenaline rushing. The splendid transport network across the country gives travelers plenty of opportunities to enjoy a free-form vacation.
Costa Rica
The Central American country of Costa Rica is among the list of safe places to travel as tourists from all countries can visit the country. But travelers must comply with several Covis19 restrictions imposed by the government and the health authorities of the country. Filling in a digital Health Pass is mandatory for anyone entering Costa Rica, along with the fully vaccinated certificate. The vaccination certificate must be in English or Spanish and must contain the person’s name, pharmaceutical site, and date of each dose. Travelers from the US can produce their vaccination record cards for Covid 19.
Vaccinated travelers can move around the country by complying with the prevailing health guidelines but need not undergo quarantine. Non-vaccinated travelers must comply with stricter restrictions that impede their travel plans, and the tour might not be enjoyable.
Forty countries are on the list of safe places to travel during Covid, and with better vaccination coverage in the coming days, we hope the list becomes longer.
