So Italy’s borders are reopening on June 3 for travel, but only to European tourists at the outset. International visitors must wait for a later date to pack their bags for Italy. That could be soon. “At the moment the European borders remain closed until June 15, but it is very likely that after that it will be possible to arrive in Italy from non-European countries too,” says Italian tourism sales expert, Giulio Gambardella.

“Italy wishes that, as soon as the EU borders reopen. “Italian tourist destinations are already in the reopening phase, starting with local customers. But hotels, restaurants and museums will be ready to welcome tourists over the next few days,” Gambardella says.
