“The Goal is to die with memories; not Dreams”
Here’s my two cents!
With a single Schengen visa, you can travel to about 26 countries in Europe? Isn’t that liberating?
In Europe, out of 50 countries, 26 countries have signed a Schengen agreement which is a treaty that allows you to travel to all 26 countries in Europe with a single visa. That is the power of the Schengen visa!

EU Countries include Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Czech Republic, Denmark, Switzerland, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Austria, Belgium, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain and Sweden.

If you have a valid, double, and/or multiple entries Schengen visa on your passport, you can visit Bulgaria, Cyprus, Romania, and Croatia without any additional visa.
