Italy has changed its travel rules for vaccinated and recovered Brits.
The UK's Foreign Office confirmed rules have been relaxed making travel abroad much easier.
In its latest update, on March 1, Italy announced it will no longer ask travellers to show both proof of vaccination or recovery from covid and a negative test result.

This means holidaymakers only need either a vaccination certificate, recovery certificate or just a negative test result.
According to the Foreign Office, all travellers, aged six and over, must show either:
- proof of vaccination OR
- evidence of a negative PCR test taken within 72 hours before entering Italy or a negative rapid lateral flow test taken within the 48 hours before entering Italy OR
- a COVID-19 recovery certificate, certifying that you have recovered from COVID-19 in the last six months
All arrivals from the UK into Sicily will need to undertake a rapid lateral flow test on arrival (administered by the local health authorities free of charge).
Adult travellers will need to complete a passenger locator form (EU PLF) to enter or travel through Italy as a visitor.
Accompanied minors can be registered on the form of the accompanying adult in the declaration section.
The EU PLF will generate a QR code which should be shown to your travel provider prior to boarding.
Regardless of your vaccination status, anyone arriving in Italy by air, land or by sea may be subject to random covid testing on arrival.
