Take it from someone who learned the hard way -- my husband was turned away at passport control in Munich in 2014, and we missed all of the Europe shows for which we had tickets (so much for that 20th-anniversary celebration). If your passport expires less than six months after the date on your return ticket, you will not be allowed through passport control. I was advised that it is best to renew your passport if it expires in less than one year.
So, I suggest that you make this part of your travel preparations.

All those who seek to destroy the liberties of a democratic nation ought to know that war is the surest and shortest means to accomplish it.

Info here, under How long is a passport valid and is it true that it needs to have at least 6 months of validity remaining?

Country information can be found here. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/international-travel/International-Travel-Country-Information-Pages.html We landed in Munich, and Germany is very serious about that six-month rule. I think my husband missed the cutoff by a week. :-(
This is accurate so take heed. I was recently denied traveling to Singapore for business because my passport was not valid for more than 6 months. Missed the whole trip, nothing i could do. So yes, it is real and you cant talk your way into the country. Get them renewed. Dont wait either.
Moral of this thread - always make sure you have more than six clear months left on your passport before you travel. Anywhere.
How/where, can you get a Passport? (If by some Miracle i can get over to Europe, i'll need one)

So, when i booked my flights it said that i "may" need a Visa? I checked the Countries i'm going to on this website https://visacentral.com/?login=85001&utm_campaign=expedia&utm_medium=1&utm_source=us&rfrr=flt.itin.visasite
This website is telling me i do NOT need a Visa for the Countries(UK, Czech Republic, Poland, Germany & Iceland) i'll be traveling in. Is this website reliable? or does someone know if i need a Visa for those Countries i'll be in?
Appreciate the HELP.
You don’t need a visa for these countries. Only a passport to leave USA and enter the glorious Europe
