The Schengen agreement
On 25 March 2001 an agreement has been in effect between a group of 15 countries : the Schengen Countries(Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden).
The agreement abolishes border controls between those countries, as long as the necessary controls have been completed upon first entering one of the Schengen countries.
For you, this means that you will need only one visa for any or all of those fifteen countries.
Whether you are visiting for business or pleasure, if you are not staying longer than 90 days, the Schengen visa is your best choice.
Compulsory medical care insurance
From the Directive of the European Council :(...) "applicants must show that they are in possession of adequate and valid individual or group travel insurance to cover any expenses which might arise in connection with repatriation for medical reasons, urgent medical attention and/or emergency hospital treatment.
The insurance must be valid throughout the territory of the Member States applying in full the provisions of the Schengen acquis and cover the entire period of the person's stay." (...)
