From the glittering lights of the Eiffel Tower to the awe-inspiring ancient ruins of Rome, Europe is a popular destination for travelers around the world. In fact, Europe welcomed around 700 million international travelers in 2023 alone.
When planning your exciting trip abroad, there are a few things you need to consider: whether or not a visa is required to travel to Europe, if you have a valid passport for at least six months after your arrival date, and European travel insurance.
Do I Need European Travel Insurance?
Having an international travel medical insurance plan can help protect you against a large financial burden abroad in the event that you require medical attention overseas. Additionally, having coverage in the case of the unexpected can give you peace of mind so you can fully enjoy your European vacation.
