British tourists are advised to keep up-to-date with the latest travel advice while holidaying
Brits travelling to popular destinations in Europe should be aware of UK Foreign Office advice as a new update was issued. Warnings over terrorism, pickpockets and fake police are among the guidance people should be aware of when travelling to key holiday hotspots France, Spain , Italy and Portugal .
The FCDO's current statement reads: "Severe weather and flooding is affecting many areas along the Mediterranean coastline of Spain, particularly the Valencia region and Castilla La Mancha. Journeys may be affected. Driving tourists need to watch out for 'highway pirates' who particularly target vehicles from abroad or rental cars, especially if towing caravans. Some may attempt to stop drivers, alleging there is something amiss with your vehicle or that you’ve caused damage to theirs.
Between December 24 and January 2026, celebrations will also take place for the Jubilee, or Holy Year, in Rome. "The city is expected to be very busy, particularly when the bigger events take place," the advice reads.
