Brexit, however, has changed the rules for British holidaymakers. From this year, Britons will have to pay to enter the EU.
The European Commission has confirmed Britons will be charged £5.88 (€7) if they want to holiday in the European Union.
This year sees the freedom of movement rule ending, meaning Britons are no longer covered by the agreement.
The UK will be treated like every other non-EU country, and this means visa fees for anyone wanting to enter the EU.
On top of the £5.88 (€7) fee, Britons will have to pre-register their details.

The European travel Information and Authorisation System (ETIAS) is a visa-waiving form that will be valid for three years, or until Britons’ passports expire.
The new rule will come into effect later this year and it will require Britons to get organised.
The ETIAS website for Britons hasn’t yet been launched, but the new rule is still set to come into force by the end of 2022.
Only under 18s and over 70s will be exempt.

The European Commission raised concerns about the treatment of EU citizens due to reports of visitors stopped from entering the UK and sent to immigration removal centres.
