I am going all over western Europe and was wondering if ISIC cards are worth buying or if they are just a waste of money.

Depends on how many museums/art galleries you will be visiting that give ISIC discounts.

I am getting on and I will be over there for four months. I heard they are worth it if you are going to be traveling and going to alot of museums and attractions. You get alot of discounts if you have it (planes, trains, museums, galleries, etc), except for on hotels and food.

I have always gotten a student discount with just using my normal school student idea. Always ask even if they don’t advertise a discount, they often will give you one.

Yeah me too, my normal student ID did the trick most of the time, really didnt use ISIC a whole lot. I don’t remember how much it costs, do you think you wold make the money back in discounts?
