Many European countries have been outlining their plans to reopen borders and implement safe ways for tourism to once again start up. Portugal has become the latest country to share information on its future strategies, but the popular European destination has made it clear that it will only be open to select nations in the first phase of proceedings. 

 

Announced on Monday, Portugal has specified rules for travellers that will be able to visit the country’s territories. Portugal’s airports will be open to the USA, Canada, Brazil and other countries with Portuguese language.

Services and businesses that are open now include public transport, street stores, book shops and libraries, restaurants and cafes (at 50% capacity with a closing time of 11pm), golf courses, museums, galleries and zoos. May 30 will see religious celebrations being allowed at limited capacity, June 1 will see cinemas, theatres, concert halls and auditoriums opening with reduced capacity while beaches aim to open on June 6.
