Explore Europe with #DiscoverEU

What is DiscoverEU?

Are you 18 years old? Are you up for an adventure? If yes, get ready to explore Europe by joining DiscoverEU, an initiative of the European Union allowing around 15,000 young people to receive a travel pass for this summer.

Seize this chance to experience freedom of movement, understand better Europe’s diversity, enjoy its cultural richness, make new friends and ultimately, discover yourself.

On top of it, with 2018 being the European Year of Cultural Heritage, the journey promises to be even better! Many events are taking place all over Europe to celebrate our fantastically diverse cultural heritage.

For the most part you will be travelling by rail. This means that you will be blown-away by the endless variety of towns and stunning landscapes that our continent has to offer.

To ensure a wide access across the continent, the travel pass will also offer alternatives such as buses or ferries. In exceptional cases, and when no other transport means are available, travel by plane will be permitted. This will ensure that young people living in remote areas or on islands also have a chance to take part.
