Since school holidays have begun in Luxembourg, our colleagues from RTL 5minutes took a closer look at what to expect when travelling to a destination abroad.

Most European countries have by now implemented a series of measures to render travelling increasingly difficult.

Here is a closer look of the most pertinent restrictions.

Luxembourg's greater region

In France, every arrival is conditioned to the presentation of a negativ PCR test (no older than 72 hours). Controls are most frequent in air and train travel, but can also be conducted for road traffic. Ski resorts have to remain closed for the time being, same as cinemas, museums, bars, and restaurants.

In Belgium, non-essential travel is completely forbidden. Exceptions may include work, studies, and family reasons. People living in the border area are moreover permitted to cross to buy essential goods. Travelling through the country is allowed, but if people intend to stay in Belgium, they need a negativ PCR test (no older than 72 hours). The country also has a curfew in place and the hospitality sector is closed.

In Germany, measures have recently been extended to 7 March. Officials further decided to close the borders to the Czech Republic., as well as the one to the Tirol region in Austria. Saarland announced that border checks may also be reintroduced with Luxembourg and France.

The rest of Europe

Portugal announced a prolonging of border checks until 1 March, which have already been in place since the end of January to combat the incremental increase in positive cases.

Greece has reinforced its lockdown measures, while Ireland have extended their restrictions until the beginning of April.

The Czech government has announced the isolation of three of the country's regions.

Italy has prolonged the restriction of interregional travel for another ten days.

On Friday, Poland reopened theatres, hotels, and swimming pools. Museums, libraries, art galleries, and commercial centres were already allowed to reopen last Monday.
