Portugal has joined many European countries in dropping all Covid-19 related entry restrictions for travellers from the UK. Scots can now enter mainland Portugal without needing to show proof of vaccination, or being tested for Covid.
Those looking for a fuss-free holiday in the sun are expected to flock to Portugal’s popular destinations including Lisbon, Porto, Madeira, and The Algarve. However, the country’s autonomous region of the Azores - a group of islands in the mid-Atlantic - will still require travellers to prove their Covid status on entry.
Other European countries to have dropped the entry requirements so far include Germany, Italy, Cyprus, Austria, Estonia, and Greece. But not all are following suit, with restrictions staying put in France, Malta, Spain, and the Netherlands.
