Yes you have to. The UK and Ireland is not part of the agreement within most EU nations that would permit open borders.

You'll need a passport when leaving the UK to mainland Europe. Also, even though you can usually travel between countries without ID, there are often spot checks on the trains, You'll need a photo ID at the very least when flying within Schengen agreement countries, and most countries now require people to carry ID with them at all times.

No, the EU were looking into scrapping passports - but after 9/11 that whole purposal took a massimo u turn.

To enter any country of the European Community you need either a passport or a valid ID card. Outside the European Community (Switzerland, for example) you do need a passport.

I don't think UK is part of the Schengen group, so you need a passport to get onto the continent?

Within Europe, we didn't need a passport travelling from i.e. Netherlands into Belgium and back. But, to board flights, get hotel rooms, identify yourself for things like rail passes and car rentals - a passport is an essential document.

Here in North America so few people travel outside the US and Canada that less than 50% have passports. There is a big panic that the US-Canada border will require passports (or an electronically secure special ID card) next year, and this may hurt tourism and cross-border shopping.

But in Europe, where there's a border every few miles and no great libertarian hostility to ID papers, I don't see why people think they can get by without a passport?

Not today it isn't!

(Or anyday in fact, you need a passport to travel to all other countries except Ireland).

No,it isn't.The passport is the most important document you need to carry with you when you travel out of your country...likewise,you must need a visa from the European country you're visiting and that visa must be attached inside your passport pages.And this is true to all,not just you.
