Realistically, when can we hope for a trip to Europe from the US. Christmas 2021? Summer 2022? Later? Sad to see this next wave in France and Italy.

I’d book refundable if trying to go by Christmas. The fact Europe isn’t doing well AT ALL with their vaccine roll out and places like France and Italy are going into their 3rd lockdown, I’d be highly doubtful that a trip to Europe this year will happen. Even though areas of the US like Texas and Mississippi could see spikes given their new lax measures, at least the vaccine roll out is going smoothly and quickly here to make it potentially negligible if we keep vigilant. I don’t see the same happening for Europe. I’m personally not planning for Europe until 2022 and even then I’ll book refundable.

I think that Europe will be welcoming tourists ASAP for summer, they desperately need it. With testing requirements in place. I’m from South Europe and I am hoping to go back this summer.

I’m currently aiming to do a trip to Italy this fall. We’ll see if they let me and/or have many things open. Hoping a large way of vaccinations in the next 3 months changes everything.

Specifically to Italy, from those there, they don’t think travel there will be possible this summer, maybe not even in the fall of 2021. Vaccination rollout has been terrible so far and they just went back into “red” lockdown this past week.

Next year would be my guess since lockdowns are still implemented.

Best case scenario is booking refundable for fall. Worst case is mid-late 2022 if they continue this partial rollout of vaccine and create waves of resistant variants.
