Several years ago, the two organisations worked closely together: anyone who joined the youth hostel association was automatically issued with a Youth Card. This successful partnership demonstrated the strong alignment of their missions and values. Integrating this project marks a new stage in the partnership. It strengthens the existing synergy and establishes the Youth Card as a valuable resource for young people in Luxembourg, supporting them in their travels, commitments, and engagement with Europe.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-6c531013 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><strong>What is the European Youth Card?<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The \u2018Carte Jeunes\u2019 is part of the European Youth Card (EYCA) network, which has over 8 million members in more than 40 countries. It offers access to thousands of discounts and benefits in Luxembourg and across Europe. From culture and sport to travel, training and shopping, this card opens the door to unforgettable experiences at affordable prices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since integrating with the youth hostel association, the Youth Card has strengthened its position in serving young people. Now priced at \u20ac10 (down from \u20ac12), the card is also available via a mobile app for added convenience. The Youth Card is aimed at young people living in Luxembourg or within a 30-kilometre radius, while strengthening its position within the European youth network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-width wp-block-button__width-100\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-pink-background-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/cartejeunes.lu\/commande\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Buy your card<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"585\" src=\"https:\/\/youthhostels.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Carte-jeunes-Recto-avec-logo-1024x585.png\" alt=\"EYCA\" class=\"wp-image-18735\" srcset=\"https:\/\/youthhostels.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Carte-jeunes-Recto-avec-logo-1024x585.png 1024w, https:\/\/youthhostels.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Carte-jeunes-Recto-avec-logo-300x171.png 300w, https:\/\/youthhostels.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Carte-jeunes-Recto-avec-logo.png 1050w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1019\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/youthhostels.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Thumbnail-1019x1024.png\" alt=\"EYCA\" class=\"wp-image-18738\" srcset=\"https:\/\/youthhostels.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Thumbnail-1019x1024.png 1019w, https:\/\/youthhostels.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Thumbnail-298x300.png 298w, https:\/\/youthhostels.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Thumbnail-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/youthhostels.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Thumbnail-scaled.png 2038w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1019px) 100vw, 1019px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-6c531013 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><strong>More than just discounts<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Youth Card offers much more than just discounts.
