Index – National – We are free to travel to 14 European countries

According to the government, it is justified to maintain the border lock because the virus came from outside and could enter the country again. Whether or not this is the case, this is becoming less and less important. Because while the border closure on September 1 was justified by the fact that most countries outside of Hungary are much more infected, by now this difference has disappeared and has even changed the dice.

Because there is no uniform regulation, there are only plans to do it, each country has created its own regulation. There are completely liberal countries that anyone can go to, from Europe, and there are some that classify states as green, yellow, red or even A and B, perhaps free categories, free according to a system of criteria.

Regulation is more or less uniform in the sense that restriction and free entry do not apply to citizens, but to countries. In other words, the question is not who comes from, but where does it come from. In addition, there are several states where individual countries are not uniformly ranked here or there, but on a regional level. Here, it is at the discretion of travelers in many cases what they tell the authorities.

Only Hungary applies a classification in the EU that excludes the possibility of entry for all states and imposes a ten-day quarantine obligation on its own citizens if they return home from abroad.

In addition, Hungarians’ travel opportunities are increasingly limited as countries constantly pull Hungary out of the green or place Hungary on the yellow or red list (A or B, or whatever). More recently, Switzerland added Hungary to the list of high-risk states, making a ten-day quarantine mandatory. In other words, we can travel freely to fewer and fewer countries. Numbered in 17 countries; dwarf states are not included.

Among the neighboring states, Austria, Slovakia (the latter was already on the verge of hardening, the government finally realized that the situation was not very good there either, that is, why hardening), Serbia and Croatia. Of these, Serbia is the most interesting, because here, at least for the moment, we have managed to stop the spread of the virus. In the Balkans, access to northern Macedonia and Montenegro is free and Albania remains open. From a Central European point of view, Poland and the Czech Republic are still open to us without restrictions, and among non-EU countries, Turkey is still open.

In Scandinavia, only fully liberal Sweden can be entered without restrictions. In Western Europe, France welcomes Hungarian travelers, and the case of the Netherlands and Luxembourg is interesting. In the Netherlands, the tour is free, except in Budapest, but since you can only go by plane, it only starts from Budapest, the round is closed. Although you can travel to Luxembourg, you do not have a plane, you are not allowed to enter a neighboring country.

Among the holiday destinations, Spain is given, and Portugal and Malta allow free travelers. Visitors from the Portuguese islands, including Madiera, will be screened immediately after entry, except for free entry. The little problem with Malta is that there is no plane going there, otherwise there is not much to get there.

In short, where the walk is free and you can even get there there is a narrower list, since you can only travel by car to countries where the road is clear all the way, and without it you need a flight. Which is less and less.

Hence, the list of free and truly accessible states:

  • Austria, Slovakia, Croatia, Serbia, Czech Republic, Poland, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Albania,
  • by plane (Poland also plays here) Sweden, France, Spain, Portugal and Turkey.
