The European Union has decided to scrap border controls with nine of its newest members from next month.
People will be able to move freely across Europe from Portugal to Estonia.
The Schengen free travel area will include Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Slovenia, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Malta.
The nine countries joined the EU in 2004. EU ministers will confirm the decision next month, after consulting the European Parliament.
