This is one of the most welcoming countries, which is visited for recreation all year round. However, the pandemic has taken its toll.
There are still some restrictions, but this does not prevent a full journey. All citizens crossing the border are required to adhere to a number of conditions. The requirements are likely to change depending on the current situation in the tourist's home country.
