Updated on December 18, 2020
There is a long list of countries that are either open or reopening very soon to the United States. There are still many destinations American travelers coming from the US can choose from.
Below is a list of countries that Americans can travel* to right now and everything you need to know if you’re thinking about traveling there.
In almost all cases, the current travel restrictions in place do NOT refer to the citizenship of the traveler. Rather it refers to the country from which the traveler is coming.
The US is currently considered High Risk, so anyone traveling from the United States, regardless of whether they hold a US passport or not, will be subject to the restrictions in place. There are exceptions if you are a resident of the country you're traveling to (or a diplomat, humanitarian worker, student etc).

Of course, this doesn't mean all countries have opened their borders to U.S. travelers...
