Europe’s allure as a travel destination is unmatched — from the romantic canals of Venice and historic streets of Paris to the scenic fjords of Norway and vibrant festivals in Spain. For Indian travelers, visiting multiple European countries in a single trip is a dream come true, made possible by the Schengen Tourist Visa.
