A Schengen Visa is a visa which allows the holder to visit any country which is part of the Schengen Agreement. Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland are the present Schengen countries (as of May 2009). Liechtenstein is expected to fully sign-up later this year. Also there are no border controls between San Marino, Vatican City and Italy or between Monaco and France. Separate visas are still needed for visits to the United Kingdom, Ireland, Romania, Bulgaria, Cyprus and other European countries. Schengen countries are those where border controls have been abolished so there are no longer any passport checks on borders and it's often difficult to know if you've actually crossed a border. Note that there are still customs checks between Schengen countries where one is an EU member (for example, Sweden) and the other is not part of the EU (for example, Norway). All Schengen countries require people to carry some form of ID with them (whether they are a visitor or a national or resident of that country). To apply for a Schengen visa you should apply to the embassy of the first country you intend to visit. If you plan to visit Italy, France and Spain (in that order) then you only need to apply to the Italian embassy and your visa is good for France and Spain too. European Union and EEA citizens don't need any visas to travel within the EU or Schengen countries. Croatians don't need any kind of visa for travel in Italy, Slovenia or Hungary but do need a visa if they intend to go elsewhere in the EU. Americans and Canadians may need a visa for some EU countries.

Where did the word schengen originate from and what does it mean?
Schengen is a village in Luxembourg, on the border with both France and Germany. The Schengen Agreement was signed there and named after the village. The Schengen Agreement is an EU treaty which has abolished border controls between its member countries. The agreement currently (2012) has 26 members, 22 out of the 27 members of the EU (the exceptions are Bulgaria, Cyprus, Ireland, Romania and the UK); plus 4 non-EU members (Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland). De facto includes three European micro-states-Monaco, San Marino, and the Vatican. Bulgaria and Romania are due to join Schengen in 2013. In essence it has eliminated all border controls within the Schengen Area. The EU is a customs union and has abolished customs between members. If you are travelling between two countries which are in both the EU and Schengen, there are no border checks at all, just a sign by the side of the road. If you are travelling between two EU countries and only one is in Schengen (e.g. UK to France) there are passport checks but no customs. If you are travelling between two Schengen countries where one is not in the EU (e.g. Sweden to Norway), there are customs checks but no passport checks.
Does a schengen visa of Switzerland work to travel to Italy?
