Top 10 Discount Cards in Spain - Free Museum Entry in Spain

By , About.com Guide

Free entry to museums and other attractions with these discount cards.

If you're under 26 years of age and you're visiting other countries as well as Spain, you may be interested in an ISIC Card from STA Travel.

1. Madrid Card

With the Madrid Card virtually anything you could want to do in Madrid is free - you just have to decide whether you can get them all done in a single day. Read carefully this page on What the Madrid Card Offers and take a look at the review (below) before buying.

2. Madrid Cultura Card

Offers free admission to most of the same activities as the main Madrid card, but is much cheaper. The most popular omission on this card is the Madrid Hop-On-Hop-Off Tour Bus, but this can be bought separately (and you might still save on the Madrid Card).

3. Barcelona Card

Better value than the Madrid Card, but with less free stuff. Read about What the Barcelona Card Offers and check out the review below before buying.

4. Seville Card

The Seville Card is the most expensive of the four cards - but with so much to do in Seville (and with much of it being quite expensive, it's hardly surprising.

5. Seville Cultura Card

As with the Madrid Cultura Card, this cheaper discount card covers most of the same things as the main Seville Card, but is a lot cheaper.

6. Barcelona ARQUEOticket

A cheaper alternative to the Barcelona Card, the ARQUEOticket offers entrance to Barbier-Mueller Museum, the Egyptian Museum of Barcelona, the Maritime Museum of Barcelona, the Archaeology Museum of Catalonia and the Museu d'Historia de la Ciutat de Barcelona.

7. Granada City Pass

Entry to many museums in Granada (including the Alhambra) and travel on local buses.

8. Zaragoza Card

The cheapest card on offer, the Zaragoza card will get you in free at just about every important sight in town - but with most of them quite cheap in the first place, you'll need a very full day to get your money's worth.

9. ISIC Card

Full-time students (of any age) can qualify for this card, the most famous student discount card in the world. If you are not a student but are under 25 (or are a teacher), scroll down for more cards available to you.

10. International Youth Travel Card/International Teacher Identiy Card

Much like the ISIC discount card, but for the under-25s (whether they're in education or not) and teachers.
