Destinations that admit US-visa holders generally require an actual visa vignette in the passport, and several specify a multiple-entry B1/B2 visitor visa. Check each destination's official conditions before booking.

No. A US visa does not grant entry to the Schengen area - Indian citizens still need a Schengen visa for the EU. However, several European countries outside Schengen admit US-visa holders, including Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, North Macedonia and Serbia.

Some destinations require it. Albania requires a multiple-entry US visa that has previously been used in the United States, and Egypt requires a valid and used visa. The exact condition for each destination is shown in the list above, taken from official sources.
