In my one flight to Italy two months ago, my vaccine card was checked. That was at Bologna.

This is the link to the official announcement (in Italian):

https://www.salute.gov.it/portale/nu...aliano&id=5889

The legislation that requires the green pass expires tonight and it will not be renewed. It is also reported that the rules requiring masks will end on the 16th June.

Air Serbia also removed mandatory masks on most flights so I think this also should be added in Wiki. I don't have permissions to edit.

I have added it. I don't know at what point you get let loose on the wiki...

It is nice to see Spain and Portugal holding strong on restrictions despite the tourism competition...They learned their lesson from last year....

Does anyone know what A3's position is, their site still shows mandatory, but I guess the new removal of measures takes effect June 1 in Greece....

In theory the relaxation is only for the summer - until the end of August. After that, it is unknown what will happen. Masks are still required on flights though.

Spanish restrictions at this point are basically just be vaccinated and be able to show proof. I imagine while there might be some overlap of antivax people in the UK who wouldn't visit because of it, Spain has been going way out of its way to get American visitors that tend to spend more money and be far less drunk and raucous (not making a statement in general, just saying of those that visit Spain. Go to Cancún and the roles are reversed). And the overlap of Americans looking for their cultural European holiday and antivaxers is going to be pretty limited.

It only seems to apply to border restrictions, other mandates remain for now.

But I listed the countries I was visiting and the Netherlands wasn't one of them (Finland, Italy, Malta). Other countries' requirements aren't really relevant

Americans (among others) can travel to Spain with a negative test:

OS is now also mask-free, except destinations with local mask mandates.

This follows removal of mask mandate in Austria, except for public transportation and health care facilities in Vienna.
