COVID-19 Self Tests are Now Available for Travel

 

We hope you’re getting excited about traveling to Europe soon! One of the things that weighs on most travelers’ minds is ensuring they have all the required information to get into their destination country and then also back home.

 

To return to the United States, travelers must meet re-entry COVID-19 testing requirements. We include copies of the United States Passenger Attestation Form for re-entry with your final pack, but you will also need to have a negative viral test (NAAT or antigen test) within 3 days of your return flight in your destination country.

 

It’s now possible to order a test here to take along with you! We provide the links to our recommended testing kits below.

 

These tests are self-administered but you need to be on a video call with a Telehealth worker to witness you doing it. The appointments can be scheduled in Europe, but we highly recommend booking your video observation now to ensure appointment availability for the exact date when you need to be tested.

 

The top 3 major airlines suggest the following self-test kits:

 

Delta

 

United (please note you need 2 tests per traveller)

 

American

 

Or a smaller BinaxNOW test kit for 1 person – (please note you need 2 tests per traveller)

 

There’s still time to purchase travel insurance if you haven’t already done so, in the case of a positive test this should cover you for quarantine expenses, medical expenses etc. Please let us know if you would like to receive a quote.​​​​​​

 

3 Romantic Restaurants in Rome

There’s a reason Rome and romance sound alike; we believe it’s because Rome is arguably the most romantic place on earth. Even Paris can do little but tag along in its wake. The streets that wind around old palaces; the beautiful bridges above the Tibet river; the grand monuments riddling numerous squares; these are all things that speak of exoticism.

WAC Travel from Nyack, New York, is a full-service travel agency that has seen first-hand how Rome induces love between people. Many of our customers are couples who want to explore all the wonders Rome has to offer, and we’re always more than happy to oblige them.

We take our customers to the most amazing places in Rome, and restaurants are always at the top of our list. Sometimes, our customers know what they want, and other times, we handle it. Either way, they all leave these restaurants with wide and satisfied smiles. We picked out 3 of the best on our list just for you. So, go on and have a read.

 

  • Antico Arco

We’re not exactly sure what we love more about Antico Arco: The food served there or the things you see even before you get there; that’s a treat on its own. To get to the restaurant by foot, walk up the hill behind Trastevere (a very colorful and lovely place!) and before you will be a beautiful panoramic view of the city. You’ll even be able to see the famed Colosseum and Spanish Steps! But don’t get too carried away; the Antic Arc awaits.

This restaurant is also located at the top of the hill, and we’ll tell you right now that it’s one of the coziest restaurants in the entire city. The service is excellent and the food is simply gorgeous. Even though it’s a great place, we like the Antico Arco mostly because it’s an escape from all the hubbub of the city, so you might want to give it a try.

  • Restaurant Roof Garden Forum Hotel

Ever had an excellent meal on a rooftop before? Now’s your chance. What sets this restaurant apart from others is how unique it is. Right from the setting to the variety of delicacies you see on the menu, you get really the feeling that you’re seated somewhere special and different. And the menu is laden with a diverse selection of excellent local food and international delicacies.

Of course, being a rooftop restaurant, you can expect to see amazing views of Rome while you dine. The Antico Arco serves as the perfect backdrop for one of the many romantic scenes in Rome. We can tell you so much about it, but our words can never truly capture its beauty. You have to see it to truly appreciate it.

  • Pizzeria Da Remo

It wouldn’t be Italy if pizza wasn’t involved in some way, would it? You won’t see pristine tablecloths at this restaurant, and nor will there be panoramic views of the city from where you’re seated, but whatever it lacks, it makes up for with the best pizza you’ll ever see and taste.

You and your loved one will have a wonderful time here, and not just because of the food. The restaurant is often filled to the brim with couples just like you happily munching on pizza with the thinnest and perfect base. But you’ll never feel as if the place is too crowded. On the contrary, the life and sounds of gaiety in the air are some of the things that make the Pizzeria Da Remo even more endearing.

We’ve been to these restaurants so many times and we love them; we’ve taken our customers there and they also love them; we’ll gladly take you there too, and we wager you’ll love them more than all of us! Reach out to WAC Travel and we’ll help you plan a vacation in Italy that neither you or your loved one will soon forget.
