In this thrilling episode from Happy to Wander, the team dives headfirst into the murky waters of Europe travel rumors. First up, the ludicrous suggestion that American and Canadian travelers will need a visa to set foot in Europe. Utter poppycock! Instead, what they'll need is the ETIAS, a digital travel authorization that's as easy as pie to obtain. Just €7 and a few minutes of your time, and you're good to go. And no, this system isn't even in place yet, so calm your horses.
Next, we tackle the preposterous idea that the 100ml liquid limit at European airports is a thing of the past. Hold your horses, folks! As of September 2024, that rule is back with a vengeance across all EU airports. So, wave goodbye to your oversized shampoo bottles and get ready to downsize. Then, brace yourselves for the bombshell that Germany is tightening its borders, even within the Schengen area. Yes, you heard that right. Passport checks are back in town, folks, so make sure you've got your papers in order before you hit the autobahn.
And last but not least, the heart-wrenching news that passport stamps will soon be a thing of the past in the Schengen area. Yes, you heard me correctly. The EU is rolling out a new entry/exit system that will bid farewell to those beloved stamps. It's a sad day for stamp collectors everywhere, but hey, at least the system has been in the works for years. So, chin up, stamp lovers, there's still hope on the horizon. And with that bombshell, it's a wrap for today's episode. Stay tuned for more travel truths and subscribe for your regular dose of wanderlust. Cheers!
