The pandemic halted everything, and we experienced a glimpse of what the Dark Ages should have been like. Everyone was forced to confine themselves in their houses by COVID-19. The only difference is that now we know that it is a deadly disease and not the wrath of some god that will go away by offering sacrifices on the altar.

Humankind endured this too, and now we have vaccines that are 85% effective against the virus. With this development, countries have eased out travel restrictions on where their citizens would go and from which part of the world they can let people come into their territory.

Europe is the most favourite travel destination in the world. So, European Union has given colourful tags to the countries to identify whether it is safe to travel there or not. The countries are designated as green, orange, red, dark red, and grey based on severity. So, let us take a look at places that are safe to travel to.

Portugal

Madeira was prompt in taking action against the spread of the disease, and it is one of the safest travel destinations in Europe.
