Germany vacation in corona times
Travel restrictions and new rules: what you need to consider during your trip to Germany. We also give you five vacation insider tips.
In spring it looked as if we would only be able to travel in our own country during 2020. Meanwhile, however, EU borders have been re-opened – sometimes also for tourists from third countries.
What are the current entry restrictions?
The Federal Foreign Office and the individual German states provide information about the current measures on their websites.
In public, however, tourists should observe the hygiene and distancing rules. The minimum distance to be kept to strangers is 1.5 metres. Wearing mouth-and-nose protection is mandatory in many public areas. Reservations are currently obligatory for accommodation and camping sites.
