THE Easter holidays are just a month away and many sun-starved Brit families are looking to book a last-minute break.

Most holiday hotspots have relaxed rules on unvaccinated kids entering the county – but some still have strict rules in place banning children who haven't received their jabs.

While very few countries have Covid restrictions for kids aged 11 and below, some still have rules for teens aged between 12 and 17.

We've rounded up the holiday destinations you can travel to with unvaccinated kids this Easter.

Spain

Spain is a popular choice for Brits wanting to get some sun, and fortunately, the country lifted its ban on unvaccinated kids last month.

Portugal

Portugal scrapped its requirement for pre-arrival Covid tests for vaccinated Brits last month, but rules still remain in place for people who haven't had their jabs.

Unvaccinated kids aged 12 and over need to show proof of a negative PCR test taken no more than 72 hours before entry or a rapid lateral flow test taken within 24 hours before entry to Portugal.

The test must be carried out by a trained healthcare professional – self-administered tests are not accepted.

Alternatively, kids who have tested positive for Covid in the last year can use a recovery certificate to show they've had Covid, as long as it was no less than 11 days and no more than 180 days before travel.
