Schengen Zone

The Schengen Zone is a group of European countries that have agreed to let people travel freely across their borders without showing passports or going through customs at each country. This agreement simplifies movement, promoting easier travel, trade, and cooperation within the area. While they share open borders, each country still maintains its own passport controls when entering or leaving the zone from outside countries. The Schengen Zone includes most EU countries and some non-EU countries, creating a unified travel space that enhances mobility within Europe.
