As border restrictions start loosening around the world, many nations are eager to have Canadians return and want to get the message out that they are open for tourism.
Below is a list of countries that have reopened their borders for Canadian tourists as of Aug 2. This list changes daily as the news changes so rapidly.
The EU has published the list of countries that will be allowed to travel to the European Union for the purpose of tourism starting on July 1st, 2020, which officially includes Canada. However, the press release made by the EU is only a recommendation. Each country will still make their own travel restrictions based on the recommendation.
Please note: The government of Canada has a “Avoid all non-essential travel outside of Canada” advisory currently in place. Travel Best Bets does not endorse travelling against any advisories set by the government. Your decision to travel is your own.
Before we get to the list of countries, people keep asking me this question…here it is so everyone fully understands:
Are Canadians Allowed To Travel Right Now?
Yes. Even though the Canadian government has the “Avoid all non-essential travel outside of Canada” advisory in place, Canadian’s are still permitted to leave the country as they wish. However, upon returning to Canada all travelers will face a mandatory 14-day quarantine. There is no news on how long the quarantine requirement will last.
All Canadians leaving the country should ensure they have proper travel insurance that covers covid-19.
