Молодежная карта EURO26
О скидках и льготах в нашей стране заговорили не так давно. Так, например, о молодежной карте, которая действует по всей Европе, знают не многие жители России. Тем временем такой сервис успешно существует и даже в нашей стране в некоторых музеях, кафе, гостиницах и магазинах вы можете получить скидки по молодежной карте.
Не путайте! Эта карта не вместо студенческого билета, она вообще никакого отношения к нему не имеет. Так что же такое «молодежная карта» или European Youth Card (порт. Cartão Jovem)?
Еще в 80-е годы прошлого века, молодежные организации европейских стран решили, что для того чтобы поддержать интерес молодежи к культуре, музеям, путешествиям нужно создать определенную мотивацию.
Именно так родилась идея создания дисконтной системы для молодёжи в возрасте от 12 до 26 лет, и в 1987 году подписали «Лиссабонский протокол». В настоящее время возраст владельца карты с 26 лет увеличен до 30ти, а количество стран, участвующих в этой программе за все время ее существования выросло с 7 до 41.
Неважно, в какой стране вы получили карту, она едина для всех государств, входящих в соглашение. В том числе и в России, где по ней можно купить авиабилеты с молодежными скидками.
Стоимость карты варьируется в разных странах, если в России её можно приобрести за 500 рублей, то в Португалии она вам обойдется в 10 евро.
Именно в Португалии я оформила свою первую молодежную карту. Конечно, хотелось бы это сделать в России, но перед отлетом не получилось…
В Португалии, молодежную карту можно оформить в любом почтовом отделении. Достаточно иметь при себе загранпаспорт, 1 фотографию и заполнить анкету. Не обязательно ехать в центральный офис или представительство.
Ответ был положительным, единственное чего у нас не хватало, так это фотографий. На поиски «фотобудки» мы отправились в переход станции метро Restauradores, которая находилась в 20 метрах от почты. Покорчив гримасы, вернулись на почту, где оставалось лишь заполнить заявление и заплатить 10 евро.
На все про все у нас ушло максимум полчаса. Довольные, что у нас все так быстро получилось, мы отправились на незабываемые приключения по улочкам Лиссабона. Кстати, карта действует год с момента оформления.
В России сейчас оформить еще проще, достаточно заполнить онлайн анкету и карту вам вышлют домой по почте.
Оформить карту на сайте Российского Союза Молодежи, а посмотреть все скидки тут.
Скажу, что за одну поездку стоимость карты окупилась, но если бы я её иногда не забывала в гостинице и прежде чем покупать билеты, куда бы то ни было спрашивала, есть ли скидка, то возможно сэкономила бы больше денег.
Весь список нереально осветить в одной статье, но я постараюсь добавлять новые предложения время от времени, а также информировать о наличии скидок при описании достопримечательностей.

The aim is to encourage youth participation in the Conference on the Future of Europe and bolster the wider involvement of youth in decision-making. 21 Youth Activists will engage young Europeans in conversations and activities about the Future of Europe.
#STANDFORSOMETHING calls for young people to make a stand and voice their views on the issues that matter to them.
As well as contributing to the official conference platforms, young Europeans can join the conversation through the We #StandForSomething Conversations Facebook group and attend the many events being planned across Europe over the next four months.
To keep up to date with all the latest, including activities, debates, competitions, giveaways and more, follow the campaign’s social media channels:
