Activities such as visiting museums, cultural centres, going on city tours, etc. can result quite expensive when travelling to several destinations.
Here are some tips for you to be able to do as much as you want while discovering EU!
Use your European Youth Card
The European Youth Card is packed with 70,000 discounts on travel, culture, accommodation, education, services and products in 36 countries across Europe. As a participant of Discover EU, you will be provided with a European Youth Card in your Discover EU Travel app.
You can get discounts almost everywhere in the EU, from the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Disneyland in Paris or Barcelona’s Sagrada Familia, to the sunny coasts of Cyprus, Malta or Greece. Check out all the discounts here.
Everyone under the age of 30 (or 26, depending on the country or region) can become a cardholder – you don’t have to be a student or a resident of a European country. You can find a quick overview of countries and their age limits here.

Do a free walking tour
In many European cities, it is possible to do a free guided tour through the centre. This is a nice and cheap way to learn about the history of the city; and the guide usually also gives you some useful “insider” information.
Afterwards, you’re expected to give a tip, but you can decide how much money you want to give. Normally the tour guides put the effort to make the tour as fun and interesting as possible, because the money they earn (the tips!) depend on their performance.
Share your point of view
Try to find a point where you have a great view over the city/countryside. Gather with your (new) friends, get something to drink and eat, and share your (point of) view. This should be a cheap way of spending a nice evening!
