EU persists in its battle against terrorism
In the wake of the EU's 750 billion euro recovery plan, Italy, one of the countries severely affected by the pandemic, stands to benefit significantly. This plan, adopted at the end of July, is viewed by Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte as a concrete sign of solidarity and a great vote of confidence in Italy.
Italy's resilience in navigating the second wave of infections has been noteworthy. Compared to Spain and France, the second wave in Italy has been less severe, a testament to the nation's willingness to make sacrifices. This visible caution and high safety standards can be attributed to Italy's past difficulties with the pandemic.
As of August 2025, there are no specific COVID-19 travel safety measures or vaccination requirements for German tourists entering Italy. However, internal Schengen border controls remain active, meaning border guards may perform identity checks and verify documentation.
Prime Minister Conte, in his recent statements, has emphasised Italy's safety for German tourists. As such, German tourists can travel to Italy without pandemic-specific health restrictions or proof of vaccination, but they should be prepared for routine border checks within the Schengen area.
Italy, with its rich history and culture, continues to attract tourists. A photograph of a church in Italy, provided by dts Nachrichtenagentur, serves as a reminder of the country's beauty and allure.
In the future, Conte believes that Italy will repay this trust by making investments and implementing structural reforms to become more productive and competitive. This commitment to growth and development further cements Italy's status as a safe and appealing travel destination.

The implementation of Italy's policy-and-legislation towards travel safety allows German tourists to visit without specific COVID-19 vaccination requirements, yet general-news outlets remind us that Schengen border controls remain active. Prime Minister Conte, having stressed Italy's safety for tourists, is also dedicated to investing in reforms to ensure the country's attractiveness, demonstrating a commitment that ties into the politics of tourism.
