Which Countries In Europe Are Open To Americans?

As Europe re-opens to travelers from the United States it is not always clear where you can go and where you cannot for tourism. Many guides online list some countries and not others, so I wanted to put together a comprehensive resource that lists every country in Europe.

Which Countries In Europe Are Open To Americans For Tourism?

As of June 24, 2021 the majority of countries in Europe are open to Americans, while several popular destinations like Austria, Germany, and the Netherlands remain closed except for a limited number of exceptions.

Note the general trend: travel to Europe is increasingly open for vaccinated Americans with proof of a negative testing or quarantines not required. Still, in most countries you will be asked to present a negative COVID-19 test upon arrival. Generally a test taken within 72 hours of departure for PCR or 24-48 hours for antigen, where accepted, is required. Each EU country sets it own requirements for entering the country, though borders between nations have largely re-opened without checkpoints.
