The four levels

What each level actually means

Exercise Normal Precautions

The lowest level. Everyday travel sense applies: watch your belongings, know your surroundings.

Exercise Increased Caution

Heightened risks in some form. Most travelers still go; read the details and plan around them.

Reconsider Travel

Serious risks to safety and security. Think hard about whether the trip is worth it right now.

Do Not Travel

Greater likelihood of life-threatening risks. The U.S. government may be very limited in helping you there.

A note on whose advice this is

These are U.S. government advisories, written for U.S. citizens. Other governments often rate the same country differently, and levels can change overnight. Check the official page and your own government's advice before you book, and treat the creator picks as lived experience, not a guarantee.
