Holding the Schengen visa means you can travel to any of the Schengen zone member states using one single visa which avoids the bureaucracy of obtaining individual visas for each country. You therefore just need one "stamp" in your passport called the Schengen visa.
The Schengen visa allows the Schengen visa holder to travel freely within the Schengen countries for a maximum stay of up to 90 days in a 6 month period. This means that once a Schengen visa holder has been in one or more Schengen visa countries for 90 days, then he or she must remain outside ALL the Schengen member states for at least 90 days.
