U.S. Issued Travel 'Warning' for 3 Popular European Countries
If you're planning a trip to Europe this summer, you may want to check out the latest travel advisories from the United States Department of State.
Earlier this month, the U.S. Department of State issued a Level 4 warning for Somalia due to an increase in terrorism and civil unrest. There are also health-related concerns plaguing the country.
"Do not travel to Somalia due to crime, terrorism, civil unrest, health, kidnapping, piracy, and lack of availability of routine consular services," the U.S. said. "Due to security risks, U.S. government employees working in Somalia are prohibited from traveling outside the Mogadishu International Airport complex where the U.S. Embassy is located. The U.S. Embassy in Mogadishu maintains normal staffing."
Although a Level 4 warning wasn't administered to a European country this week, a few countries have been put on notice.
The U.S. Department of State has officially issued a Level 1 travel advisory for Switzerland. This is the lowest advisory level for safety and security risk. That means Americans should exercise normal precautions before visiting there, such as reviewing the Country Security Report.
On May 22, the U.S. Department of State issued a Level 2 warning for Belgium. Anyone traveling there in the near future should exercise increased caution due to the risk of terrorist attacks.
Italy has also been tagged with a Level 2 warning due to terrorism. That's a huge concern considering Italy is a hot spot for travelers in the summer.
According to the U.S. Department of State, terrorists in Italy have been targeting the following places:
Tourist spots
Transportation centers
Shopping malls and markets
Local government buildings
Hotels, clubs and restaurants
Religious sites
Parks
Sporting and cultural events
Schools
Airports
Public areas
The full list of travel advisories issued by the U.S. can be seen here.
The U.S. government could always alter its travel advisories in the blink of an eye, so make sure you stay alert over the next few weeks.
