Anyone getting nervous about any upcoming Europe trips?

Going to Europe in a few weeks and Covid is spiking like crazy there. Highest it has ever been in some places.
Normally I wouldn't care for myself, but most of Europe has been pretty bonkers about lockdowns and so on.
Austria is going to a lockdown for the unvaccinated.
Germany looks like it may follow suit on thursday.
The Netherlands are going to a "partial lockdown" for all.
France is warning of a "5th wave".

Cases will spike with winter weather and more people congregating indoors. Whatever the national governments do will lag the spike. Governments have one tool, in their mind, shutdowns.
I assume you’ll see movement restrictions in Europe this winter.
Hopefully they’ll be lifted by late spring.

We all know that, but it doesn't stop governments from doing stupid shite. That's the concern

I assume they’ll continue to lockdown. It doesn’t matter to them if it doesn’t help. It looks decisive and makes them more powerful.
I have a family member in Europe who, for example, can’t go to the movies, because he’s not vaccinated.
For long periods of 2020 and even 2021, he couldn’t leave his county because of movement controls.
I’m currently planning a trip, but I don’t know if the border will be open, or if I’ll be allowed to fly.
I believe unvaccinated Americans will eventually be barred from public transport including airplanes.

We just cancelled a trip to France for the third time and I think we’re just going to shelve the idea for the time being. We’re not really last minute trip planners (due to work vacation policies and such) so while we get alot of PTO, some of it has to be request pretty far our and each time we commit, something like this has popped up.

France is relatively open and seems to be doing ok.
I was considering it as an alternative to my current trip

We have a trip planned in December. Haven’t seen anything yet to make me reconsider.

I keep wanting to book a trip for the Spring, but can't bring myself to do it, not knowing what these crazies are going to shutdown by then.

It would be the function of purpose of trip:
For business, no problem in going.
For tourism? I'd probably wait until spring or as you wrote said, go south.
In Holland you must be screened (tested) before being allowed in a restaurant. And the test result is only good for 24 hours. A ten day trip means ten days of tests. Who knows what the Germans and Austrians will cook up?

Leave for the UK Thursday, they seem to be set on not changing anything from what it is now, but if I told you I wasn’t anxious I’d be lying.

If you're going to Europe go from May to September. The tourist countries will open for the money and low case counts.
Outside of that it's a bit unpredictable.

My family is in France, I was told to hold off
Posted on 11/16/21 at 11:24 am to Fun Bunch
We are holding off on Europe. All signs (increased cases, winter approaching, people indoors)point to lockdowns coming and I just don’t think it’s worth it.

I’ve got a trip to Spain in early June and while I keep telling myself it should all be over by now…I also realize that I have been saying that for almost two years. Really don’t want to drop the coin to travel to closed countries, testing/vaccine demagoguery, and masks to sit outside on a park bench.
What a stupid, downward spiral we’ve all gotten sucked into.

Where are you going specifically, didn’t see it above.
Italy appears to be holding strong on no further restrictions. However, their current set does expire December 16ish.
I’m going around Christmas and just hoping for the best at this point.

We canceled our river cruise starting 12/14 with 2 day stay Prague and then a 5 day cruise down the Elb to Berlin for 2 more days.
We had read that Germany was not allowing the Christmas markets to open again this year and they were having over 60,000 new Covid cases a day.
We were able to schedule a 10 day West Indies cruise leaving 12/13 out of Puerto Rico.
