To travel or not to travel

Since we are officially dealing with a pandemic, according to the WHO, nearly the whole world has been under the spell of Covid-19, or the coronavirus. Among avid travellers, like us, the most frequently asked question in recent weeks on thousands of websites worldwide is: “can we travel or not?”

We can imagine that the sentiment among travellers now is to change or even cancel their holiday plans. After all, walking in a totally empty city doesn’t sound very attractive. Moreover, even if you’re not afraid of getting infected or infecting others, some countries or regions have introduced entry bans for travellers from Europe. That list changes by the day.

We are not experts in this area. The only advice we can give you is this. Get informed by the official authorities in full knowledge of the facts. You can find a practical overview of the consequences for your travel plans on gov.uk. When you have booked a trip, be sure to contact your tour operator. Depending on the situation, you may be able to postpone the trip.

How long this situation will last, nobody can predict at the moment.
