#  The Countries With Open Travel Corridors  


If you’re desperate to book a holiday thankfully there are now plenty of places we’re allowed to visit again. But with restrictions still in place in many destinations, it’s essential to know where it’s possible to go and what you have to do once you get there. If you live in England (rules vary in different parts of the UK), these are the countries with open travel corridors right now…
