Current Travel Situation
Peru to Czech Republic: What You Need to Know
Germany is one of the largest economies in the Schengen Area and a frequent destination for Peruvian travelers for tourism, trade fairs, and business. The Schengen visa exemption allows Peruvian citizens to travel throughout all Schengen states on a single 90-day allowance. Frankfurt, Munich, Berlin, and Hamburg are the top entry cities from South America.
Practical Tips
Frankfurt Airport (FRA) is one of the busiest transit hubs for Peruvians flying from Lima to Europe. If Frankfurt is your transit point and you are continuing to another Schengen country, you only need one Schengen entry. Germany's efficient rail network (Deutsche Bahn) makes it easy to travel between cities. Carry travel insurance covering medical emergencies.
