What is DiscoverEU?

DiscoverEU is an action of the Erasmus+ programme that offers you the opportunity to explore Europe’s diversity, learn about its cultural heritage and history, and connect with people from all over the continent.

You will be offered a travel pass and travel predominantly by rail. Check out the rules for people living on islands or in remote areas.

As a selected traveller, you will receive a DiscoverEU discount card (European Youth Card) for a wealth of discounts on cultural visits, learning activities, sports, local transportation, accommodation, and food.
