Places with no PCR test on arrival...

[NewtoOrlando]

Are there are destinations in Europe where we can travel to without needing a PCR test on arrival?

We are 2 adults - both double vaxxed (i'm tripple vaxxed as had my booster this week) and 2 teens, one who is just getting over covid and one who is 15 and not yet been vaxxed.

We had leave at the end of Nov, and considering a 4night break somewhere as desperately need some sunshine, to be honest, anywhere to be honest, as long as it's not here haha, but DH is not willing to book anything if testing is going to put the cost up!

The whole testing thing confuses me so much!

Spain doesn't require testing on arrival from what I understand

Canaries don’t require testing if you’re vaccinated but I do t k is about the teens sorry

Just to add though that you would all need day 2 tests when you get home so if the cost of those is a factor you will need to take that in to account.

Me again... just seen that your teens would need a negative pcr to get in to Spain sorry 😞

I believe everywhere require unvaccinated to have. PCR currently. Spain, Canaries and Greece all do.

We went to the Canaries in August and it was worth the fee. Defo worth exploring as holidays are so much cheaper (or so we found) except half term.

Remember by time you return the PCR on day 2 should have changed to LFT so that may be cheaper.

Also vaccinated 12 to 15 year olds will still need to do a pre-departure test unless they have had two doses of vaccine. We had a family denied travel today because of this.

We are off to Croatia tomorrow and as we are double vacinated don't need any tests either before or when we get there. Only day 2 PCR on return under present rules.
Have a look at Jet2 website it's got a good link to what is required for different destinations.
