The Austrian government is set to ease the country’s entry requirements for fully vaccinated UK arrivals.

Restaurants and cafes have a curfew of 10pm while bars and clubs remain closed

The UK, Denmark and Norway will no longer be considered "virus variant" countries from Monday (24 January).

This means people who are fully vaccinated or those who have recovered from the virus can enter Austria with a negative PCR test, valid for 72 hours, or proof of a booster jab received at least 120 days after the second shot without the need to quarantine.

Proof of recovery within the past 180 days also counts as a booster, the Austrian National Tourist Office confirmed.

Children under the age of 12 do not need proof of vaccination or a PCR test.
