Travel is pretty much back to normal now. If you've had your jabs you can fly pretty much as before; even if not, there's dozens of great holiday destinations you can visit..
But now the UK has dropped all of our travel rules, you might be looking for somewhere with literally zero restrictions or paperwork too. Here's our top seven picks.
Iceland
There are no Covid restrictions of any sort to visit Iceland. Vaxxed or unvaxxed, just head over and walk straight in, and while you're there don't miss the whales, waterfalls, geysers, Northern Lights or the Blue Lagoon!

Prepare for take-off
Whether you haven't flown since before lockdown, or have been clocking up airmiles all the way through, our tips and guides will make your next trip hassle-free.
Greece
Greece is now the second most popular destination for UK holidaymakers, behind only Spain. The islands were almost the first to open and last to close during two summers of travel lockdowns so perhaps people have just got a taste for the green waters, reliable sunshine, great food and relaxed pace of life that characterise a Greek holiday.
It's also dropped all of the old travel restrictions, so you just fly in and out, regardless of vaccination status, and get straight on with enjoying the beach.
Mexico
If you want an absolutely zero-admin holiday, Mexico has absolutely no restrictions coming in. Masks in public places is pretty much it, so you don't need to worry about vaccine passports or different rules for you and the kids.
There's no hiding the fact that it's a long way - 11 hours direct from London to Cancun. But once you're there, the beaches are idyllic, the ruins just down the coast at Coba and Chichen Itza some of the most remarkable in the world. And if you want to spend your holiday snorkelling, the Yucatan Peninsula has the world's second largest barrier reef.
Portugal
Portugal is the first EU country to drop the post-Brexit rule forcing Brits to use the "other countries" queue at the airport, so if you come in to Libson, Faro, Madeira or any other major Portuguese airport you'll skip the passport queues that currently bedevil holidays in Spain. That's reason enough to pick Portugal for your next trip - and if not, remember that Madeira and the Azores are every bit as warm and welcoming as the Canaries; Portugal is one of Europe's great citybreaks; and a week on the beach in the Algarve is at least as good as a week on Spain's southern coast.

Dublin, Ireland
Part of the Common Travel Area, a pre-Brexit (and even pre-EU) free-travel area between the UK and Ireland, Dublin and the whole of Ireland are now as accessible as ever with all travel restrictions dropped.
While Dublin is famous for its world-class pubs, there's so much more to the city than its tipple. It has a long and rich history waiting to be discovered, beautiful arts and architecture and even the largest walled park in Europe, Phoenix Park.
The Channel Islands
Part of the same Common Travel Area that makes a trip to Ireland so straightforward, the Channel Islands of Jersey and Guernsey have dropped all of their Covid restrictions so it's a simple ferry or plane over, and you can start exploring as soon as your feet touch the ground.
Summer is a great time to see the islands - the relaxed pace of life, gentle climate and beaches make for a excellent, traditional family holiday, and they're amongst the easiest overseas destinations you could possibly visit.

A UK short break
Right now you can head overseas by boat or by plane, see somewhere exotic or somewhere very like home, soak up the sun or ski, all without filling out a single Covid form. But if you still don't fancy leaving the UK, we can help you enjoy a break here at home.
Our UK short breaks include theatre trips to the capital, theme parks all over the UK as well as castles, museums, gardens and even stadium tours.
