The Schengen Area is a group of European countries that abolished internal borders to facilitate the free movement of people, creating a “borderless” region across most of Europe. Named after the 1985 Schengen Agreement, this zone promotes economic integration and ease of travel for its citizens and visitors. Currently, it includes 29 European countries, such as Germany, France, Italy, and Spain, but excludes countries like the United Kingdom and Ireland, which maintain their own border policies.
