For many decades now, Americans have been able to travel to Europe essentially hassle-free, simply by virtue of carrying a valid travel document: none of the additional bureaucracy of visas or entry permits.

Winter is finally upon us, and though the golden sands and warm seas of the Caribbean are certainly an enticing prospect, we can’t think of anything better to do than wandering fairytale villages blanketed in now, exploring Christmas markets, and soaking up the medieval culture. Yep, we’re going to Europe, baby, and if you resonate …

If summers in Europe are for beach-hopping and eating soft gelato by the Mediterranean, winters are for romantic strolls down cobbled streets that look frozen in time––if not literally, considering the low temperatures––and that bewitching Old World charm.

If you’re planning on traveling to the United Kingdom in 2025 and you’re an American citizen, you should know that presenting a valid passport at the check-in counter no longer satisfies all the travel requirements: From January 8, 2025 all U.S. passport holders will need to present a pre-approved travel permit when boarding UK-bound flights, …

Despite its gloomy reputation, autumn is one of the best times to explore the U.K. England’s coastal gems may be too nippy this time of year but don’t miss out on a plethora of charming villages, picturesque parks, and, of course, the multitude of action-packed cities. Obviously, London being the main draw. Yet even as …

We know what you’re thinking: how could there possibly be anywhere in freezing, rainy Britain that’s over 80 degrees Fahrenheit right now, and more unfathomably even, there are turquoise waters to swim in?

Following in the footsteps of Europe’s Schengen Area, which has recently announced that, starting from next year, Americans will have to apply for a paid travel permit before entering, the United Kingdom has also confirmed it will be bringing in its own entry fee.
