Wife and I are really itching to get to Europe. Any countries 100% "open"?

I'm kind of wondering the same thing.
I haven't fully checked the requirements but I'm guessing as of this week, the UK is open.

Not Europe but it looks like Dubai is open.

Also not Europe but, I'm sending a guy to India for work in a couple weeks. India does not require a vax but is not open for tourism.

My daughter might need to go to Spain for work and it looks like the latest info from Spain is that your most recent shot has to be within 5 months. I think France is similar.

This is from American's website.

I think it'll be awhile before a lot open all the way up to unvaccinated travelers. Got to remember that nations are run by idiots.

What sort of Vax document is required? Is it paper or electronic and if paper how many copies do you need. We are going to S. Africa via Doha with the airline taking a copy from you so we will need multiple copies including the return.
Alas travel used to be so easy.

Sherpa is not fully accurate nor up to date. Unvaxxed can do Portugal and several Scandinavian countries from what I can keep track of.

The key loophole is you can visit a lot more locations with a recovery certificate. Italy, Switzerland, Germany (I think) etc. Do your research, it's quite interesting how this is all falling apart.

As for a recovery certificate, they can be had for $70 from an online doctor. I'll leave the rest to your diligence.

Norway just removed quarantine requirements as long as you have a negative test. They don't accept US vax cards as valid anyway so it's oddly a great spot.

Read Denmark too is easing.

We did Greece this past summer and no vax was required. Not sure about now.

Just go get vaccinated.

Why not?

Take it to politics board. Keep this to travel.

I live in the UK, and it is about your best bet if unvaccinated. New eased rules go into effect this Friday 2/11. Test before you come and PCR test on day 2 after you arrive. No quarantine for anyone unless positive.

No testing at all if vaxxed, just have to fill out a very simple form.

If you care about masks, there aren't really rules except for London public transport (buses and tube). If you have kids, they've handled it much better. Basically kids <12 haven't ever been messed with at all for vax or masks. It was a little bit more strict on masks in Scotland last time I was there in December but not much.

They also have a pretty information site for travel to all other countries, although it is specific to traveling from the UK so may be different for coming from the US since things are pretty political with the EU due to Brexit:

We're going to Spain this weekend since they don't require any testing either. But they do require vax. We picked Spain over Italy, France, Germany, Switzerland, etc. since those countries have stricter policies. I think the Scandinavian countries have just eased a bunch so may want to check those out.

If you've never been to the UK, I recommend flying into LHR, check out London a couple days and then take the LNER up the east coast to York, (Berwick-upon-Tweed if you have time especially in summer), Edinburgh, and then Highlands (Inverness, Ft William, Glencoe, Skye, Loch Lomond... lots of good options, can't go wrong especially once the weather gets nice around May into the summer).

Thanks for the update and ... user name does not check out.

Not Europe and you'd have to be Muslim but, it looks like Saudi Arabia is not requiring the vax to make the Pilgrimage this year. I'll take that as a good sign.

Of course I did detect some gloating about the Turkish ruler getting Covid.
