So, it looks like COVID-19 has officially put the kibosh on your international travel plans this summer. Don’t worry, you’re not alone. As you probably know by now, the European Union currently has mandated a ban on all U.S. travelers (with no expiration date on the radar). Additionally, the Department of State has issued a Global Level 4 Health Advisory, strongly advising all U.S. citizens to avoid any international U.S. travel destinations due to the global impact of the novel coronavirus. And there’s a long list of other regions around the world that are still enforcing their own restrictions, even if they haven’t announced any official travel ban policies.

Dreaming of Bavaria? Visit Helen, Georgia
The German state of Bavaria is one of Europe’s most frequented tourism destinations. Well-heeled travelers make the trip each year to experience its epic scenery, iconic festivals, and treasured cultural traditions. But since U.S. travelers are not currently allowed to visit countries within the European Union—including Germany—Georgia may be your best bet. The alpine city of Helen boasts the charm of Bavaria in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Think cobblestone walkways, half-timbered architecture, and biergartens galore. But aside from spaetzle and lederhosen, Helen also offers endless outdoor adventure options. Go ziplining with Nacoochee Adventures; tubing with Cool River Tubing; or hiking to witness Anna Ruby Falls, tucked away in the Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forest.
