From 15 June Belgium officially reopened its borders to non-essential travel within Europe, but this new freedom is not as simple as it sounds.
Newly updated travel advice on numerous European countries aims to inform Belgians on the destinations that were reopening their borders to all travel. As it stands, however, it is far from guaranteed you can go where you want to.
It's confusing, it's changing, but with that in mind, where can you go as of 16 June?
Open and unrestricted
Austria, France, Poland, Liechtenstein and Switzerland are now open. Germany and the Netherlands too, but that has been the case since 30 May.
Sweden and Luxembourg are open, but were never closed to travellers from the EU throughout the coronavirus crisis.
