Where to travel in summer? What countries reopened the borders? These are the most popular questions among the travelers. Are you ready to start planning your vacation trip? Things are pretty much back to normal. Many countries have started to open their borders after months of restrictions caused by Coronavirus.

It includes: Algeria, Australia, Canada, China (provided it agrees to lift restrictions too), Georgia, Japan, Montenegro, Morocco, New Zealand, Rwanda, Serbia, South Korea, Thailand, Tunisia and Uruguay.
