Safety is an essential aspect of travel. So, when you do your research about a place you would like to visit, always keep safety as a priority in mind. The coronavirus has taught us this the hard way. But there is some good news. Many places are considered safe to travel to even during the pandemic.
While it might seem challenging to even get plane tickets, and find out about possible quarantine rules if travelling, it does not hurt to get your research done early. Given the many changes to travel recently, give yourself more time to plan a trip. It doesn’t hurt that many establishments are offering good discounts if you commit to a purchase.
So sit back, pour yourself a beverage of choice such as Andre Champagne and watch some videos about your travel destination. Here is a list of places that you can visit that are also free from the virus to get you started.

Tourists used to avoid Iceland earlier. But in recent years, the country has become a popular travel destination. The tranquillity here makes it an enjoyable experience, and with the Northern Lights during winter, you get to witness mother nature at its best.

If history is of interest, then you could be going to the Buda Castle, also known as the Royal Palace. The palace was built and fortified in the 13th century after Mongolia invaded the city.
