From the 12th October 2025, the EU is introducing a new Entry/Exit System (EES) for all non-EU travellers visiting Europe for short stays. This applies whether you need a visa or can already visit visa-free for up to 90 days within any 180 days.
(Don't worry, it's nothing to lose sleep over)
In short, you might notice an extra step on arrival, but it won’t affect your travel plans too much. Just allow a little extra time and you’ll be on your way in arguably the greatest continent on the planet.

Practical advice and inspiration for your next trip
On a research trip to Umbria and Tuscany, our Europe specialist, Valeria, discovered that the best way to explore the Italian countryside is by car. During her road trip, she marvelled at Marmore Falls, admired the beautiful views over Lake Trasimeno and wandered through the UNESCO-listed village of Castiglione d'Orcia. From cooking classes to wine tastings, her trip was jam-packed with Italian delights.

Americans know a thing or two about wide, open spaces, and our USA specialist, Dave, discovered what all the fuss was about during his research trip to the Rockies and the American West. He dug into dinosaur discoveries in Bozeman, snapped pictures of Yellowstone’s Grand Canyon and spotted bears and bison in Grand Teton National Park. When he wasn’t cheering at a Major League Baseball game in Denver, he was tucking into South Dakota’s specialty steak dish.

With its dramatic landscapes, explosive geysers and wonderful wildlife, Yellowstone National Park is one of our favourite places in the USA. Spread across two million acres of land and spanning three states, the park is set on a dormant supervolcano and boasts spectacular geological features. Each season in Yellowstone brings a new spectacle – winter brings snow and serenity, while spring offers fantastic flora and fauna.
