    The best way is have your itinerary ready, and apply for schengen visa. You must prove that you:
    @ have sufficient funds.
    @ have strong ties to your home country.

    Thanks! But what do you mean of sufficient funds? Is there any rule that your money should be not lower than 100k but not more than 300k something like that?

    No... sufficient funds mean you have enough to cover all expenses during the trip. So it means airfare, hotel, transportation, health insurance, other expenses. If you are going for 90 days then you must have much more than 30 days trip, etc.

    Hi,

    A general guide for European countries that are members of the
    European Union is that there are no entry requirements or restrictions
    On EU nationals visiting EU members country. Citizens of Australia,
    Canada, Israel, Japan, New Zealand and the USA do not need visas to
    visit either country as tourists for up to three months. Except for
    People from a few other European countries (such as Switzerland and
    Norway), everyone else must have a visa (yes, including Phillipen
    Nationality). Three-month tourist visas are issued by embassies or
    Consulates. They can take a while to be processed, so leave enough
    Time before departure to apply. Fees vary depending on your
    Nationality.

    To check on specific European countries Visa requirements go here:
    Europe Travel Information and Travel Guide - Lonely Planet
    Choose a country from the list and then choose 'Facts' on the left
    Menu bar to see the Visa requirements.
    OR
    Choose from the list here a country and then at the bottom right of
    The window choose 'Passport/Visa':
    Travel - Excite UK


    You may also want to take a look at the Schengen Agreement of 1990
    (European visa policy ), even though your are not a EU member, but it
    Does give you some information on travel between EU and non EU
    Countries in Europe:
    "The Schengen Treaty means that people within the participating
    countries can move into any other participating country without having
    to show their passports, or in any other way being checked. The
    Schengen Treaty also means that participating countries will
    co-ordinate their external controls. This is necessary since a person
    acceptable to one country but not to another can still enter both, if
    one admits him. For example, immigration policy must be agreed upon as
    immigrants can enter through the most relaxed border and make their
    way to less hospitable countries once within Schengenland unless entry
    criteria are homogeneous."
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shengen_Agreement



    Some European Union information can be found here:
    "The European Union or EU is an intergovernmental and supranational
    union of 25 European countries, known as member states. The European
    Union was established under that name in 1992 by the Treaty on
    European Union (the Maastricht Treaty). However, many aspects of the
    Union existed before that date through a series of predecessor
    relationships, dating back to 1951. According to the Lisbon Agenda the
    European Union or EU is to become until the end of the decade the most
    advanced economic, technological and cultural area of the Earth.

    The European Union's activities cover all areas of public policy, from
    health and economic policy to foreign affairs and defense. However,
    the extent of its powers differs greatly between areas. Depending on
    the area in question, the EU may therefore resemble:

    a federation (for example, on monetary affairs, agricultural, trade
    and environmental policy)
    a confederation (for example, on social and economic policy, consumer
    protection, home affairs)
    an international organisation (for example, in foreign affairs) "
    European Union - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


    Also - keep in mind that there are no real border/passport checks
    Traveling between EU member's European countries on mainland Europe.
    So it's not really realistic (for example) to get all Visas for
    Belgium, Holland, France, Germany and Austria - when there are no
    Checks at the borders of these countries (not including entrance from
    Non- EU member countries). You should have no real difficulty just
    Getting a Visa for the European country you will be entering (From the
    USA) to and exiting from.

    If you need to have information on Eastern European countries that may
    Have passport checks when entering from an EU member's country you may
    Find it here (choose a country from the list and scroll down to the
    'Travel Requirements'):
