Is it Ireland? Is it the UK? We’ll let you decide. But there’s no doubt this city on the rise is going beyond its “football town” (ahem, soccer) reputation as a new travel hotspot. Formerly holding a persona of being rough around the edges with high crime and political uproars, nowadays it’s become one of …

What is Europe anymore? Is it the dark side you see on TikTok and YouTube with scammers running rampant, or is it the storybook dreamscape we’ve all envisioned of one day visiting? Well, we hate to break it to you, but yes, the Eiffel Tower tends to be riddled with scammers, but also there are …

There’s no point sugarcoating it: whether you like it or not, America’s reputation in Europe isn’t exactly glowing right now. From the ever-so-often diplomatic rifts, to U.S. tourists reporting not feeling welcome across a number of European cities (fancy getting chased down the calle by a water-pistol-wielding Catalan, anyone?) and of course, the mounting piles …

I’m sorry to be the one to say it, but if you claim you’ve been to the U.K. simply by visiting London, you’re having a bit of a laugh. I used to live in London myself on-and-off for several years, and as much as I love Norf Weezy—do people even use that term, still?—with all …

As great a city as it may be, however, London …

Alongside France, Italy, and Germany, the U.K. is one of the four countries U.S. travelers want to visit the most on a Eurotrip.

Just over a month after announcing some of the strictest measures in Europe in tackling the spread of Omicron, including the implementation of a curfew right before Christmas, the Republic of Ireland has now decided to lift most of them. It follows in the footsteps of the neighboring United Kingdom, which has recently scrapped mandatory …

Unlike other nations in the European Union, which have imposed testing requirements regardless of vaccination status, Ireland has now completely scrapped PCR mandates for fully vaccinated travelers. The Emerald Isle is now ready to welcome American and Canadian visitors again, as well as other foreign nationals, under more relaxed measures. That said, the definition of …

Several of the nations that comprise the UK have added rules that are bound to affect travelers’ plans as they hope to halt further spread of the Omicron Covid-19 variant throughout the British Isle.
