Europe is a wonderful continent for self-discovery and to travel around scenic destinations. There are many historical sites to see and wonderful experiences to make lifelong memories; but it was kind of a mission to travel around the various countries before 1985. Many tourists would have had to obtain travel visas for every country that was on their travel itinerary, which would have added up to a lot of paperwork and a lot of expense before you even set off on the journey. However, introduction of the Schengen Agreement subsequently eliminates all of these hassles.
In effect, the Schengen Agreement paved the way for the Schengen visa to come into being. Getting the Schengen Visa for Indians gives you the liberty to travel to all the 26 European without any immigration or border restrictions. Yes! One Visa, One Europe.
