Dreaming of Cinque Terre, the Amalfi Coast, or savoring a gelato in Rome? Americans have been given the green light for quarantine-free travel and can start planning their trip.
This week, Italian health minister Roberto Speranza announced that vaccinated Americans can travel to Italy without the need to quarantine so long as they follow the rules of the E.U. Green Certificate and provide proof of vaccination, a certificate of recovery (for anyone who had been diagnosed with Covid-19), or a negative test result taken within 48 hours prior to their flight.
Previously, the other option for quarantine-free travel to Italy for Americans was special Covid-free flights operated by Delta, Alitalia, and American Airlines between select U.S. cities and Milan and Rome. Travelers were required to get tested within 48 hours of their flight and show the negative result at check-in. They'd undergo another test upon arrival and if it came negative, no quarantine was required.
In addition to Americans and E.U. citizens, travelers from Canada and Japan have also been approved for quarantine-free travel to Italy.
