Travel Tips For Students Visting The Capital

Washington D.C. provides generous admission discounts on wide range of tourist attractions to the students traveling to the District. To avail these discounts, the students need to carry along with them a valid ID or their current school ID during their Washington, D.C. tour. Students traveling to the District may also want to consider obtaining an International Student Identity Card (ISIC) which will allow them to enjoy benefits that extend beyond reduced admission fees to all the prominent hotspots in the city.

Every travel enthusiast who is a student should check out the International Student Travel Confederation website (www.itsc.org) for comprehensive travel services information and details on how to get the ISIC card. The ISIC card qualifies them to achieve substantial savings on rail passes, plane tickets, entrance fees, and more, during their Washington, D.C Sightseeing Tour. ITSC is a not-for-profit organization, founded in 1949 by national student unions, to attend to the needs of the growing number of students and youth travelers. It also provides students with basic health and life insurance and a 24-hour help line. Students can apply for the card online or in person at STA Travel ((800)781-4040) which is the world's largest student and youth travel agency with a prominent office location in George Washington University campus (800 21st Street NW, Marvin Center, Washington, D.C. 20052, Phone: (202) 747-9772). Young travelers, who are not students but are under the age of 26, should apply for International Youth Travel Card, which offers non-students access to special discounts and benefits while travelling internationally.
