Does one still need a negative PCR test result to take an airplane or a train to/from/within Europe in 2022?

IATA provides a handy map of global travel restrictions. For Europe we see the following:
The only country still having any restrictions whatsoever is Germany, which still has some special rules for flights arriving directly from China. Therefore as of today you may fly into any EU country without being asked for either a COVID test or a COVID vaccination card.
Given that every country in Europe has now resorted to "living with the virus", it is extremely unlikely that any tests would be required in December 2022.

Each country has their own regulations so you need to check specifically for your first country to make sure that you are not denied boarding.
Most countries in Europe have relaxed restrictions quite a bit. For example Germany has free entry https://www.germany.info/us-en/covid-19/2321562 (as of June 14, 2022) without test or proof vaccination required.
Within Europe, any type of test requirement is highly unlikely. I was in Germany and Italy last week and no one checked anything. There are still occasionally mask mandates, primarily in public transportation.
Summary: You should be fine. Most countries don't require testing anymore and even if they do, an Antigen Test is fine in most cases. While it's possible that PCR is positive for three months it's unlikely. When I got Covid I was AntiGen negative after 10 days and PCR negative after about a month (didn't test earlier). If you DO test positive on an Antigen Test you should definitely NOT travel.
CAVEAT: Covid requirements do change frequently and are often poorly documented. It's possible that the Germany link I posted is already out of date. You should keep checking rules for your specify country of entry on a regular basis.
