Your last university exam is finally behind you, or maybe you have just started enjoying a well-deserved long summer break after finishing high school. How can you spend a summer full of experiences in Czechia without spending too much money? If you are an international student studying in Czechia and have a valid ISIC card, you can use many student discounts just like Czech students.

With ISIC, you can save money on travel, festivals, aquaparks, restaurants, shopping, culture, and even school supplies.

In this article, you’ll learn:

  • where to find student discounts with ISIC in Czechia,
  • which summer activities you can enjoy for less,
  • how to save money while travelling,
  • where it is worth showing your ISIC card,
  • and why you should always ask about a student discount.

How to find ISIC discounts in Czechia

On the ISIC.cz website, you can find an overview of discounts available to students. You can search by category, such as travel and accommodation, food, culture, sport, entertainment and relaxation, fashion, electronics, books, and magazines.

This is useful not only when you are looking for a specific discount, but also when you need inspiration for summer activities in Czechia.

🏖️ Aquaparks, swimming pools, and summer relaxation

Hot summer days are perfect for visiting an aquapark, swimming pool, or wellness centre. With ISIC, you can get discounted entry to selected places, for example Aquapalace Praha and other leisure facilities in the entertainment and relaxation category.

Before planning a trip, check whether the aquapark, swimming pool, or sports centre offers a student discount. One ticket may not seem like a huge difference, but if you go several times during the summer, the savings can quickly add up.

🎶 Festivals and cultural events

Summer in Czechia is full of festivals, concerts, and outdoor events. ISIC can be useful here as well. Student discounts are available for selected festivals, such as Colours of Ostrava or Soldout Festival.

You can also find discounts for theatres, cinemas, galleries, museums, and cultural venues. For example, students can save money when visiting places such as the National Museum, the National Theatre, Hudební divadlo Karlín, or ARCHA+.

So if you want to enjoy summer in Czechia but still keep your budget under control, your ISIC card can help.

🚆 Travelling around Czechia and abroad

ISIC is often connected with travel discounts. Besides public transport in some cities, you can also use it with selected train, bus, or flight providers.

On ISIC.cz, you can find discounts for services such as Leo Express, selected public transport systems, or flights through Pelikan.cz. Some discounts are useful for weekend trips around Czechia, while others can help you plan a holiday abroad.

Before buying a ticket, always check whether a student discount is available. On longer routes, the amount you save can be much more noticeable.

🍔 Food, coffee, and shopping during summer

Student discounts are not only about travel and event tickets. You can also use ISIC when buying food, coffee, clothes, electronics, or school supplies.

On ISIC.cz, you can find offers from brands such as TESCO, KFC, Tchibo, C&A, DATART, Alza.cz, and Knihy Dobrovský.

This can be especially helpful during summer, when you travel more, spend time outside, buy snacks or drinks, or start preparing for the next academic year.

Even a small discount on everyday purchases can make a difference if you use it regularly.

❗ Don’t forget to ask about a student discount

Not every student discount is clearly written on the price list or shown at the counter. That is why it is always worth asking before you pay.

You can simply say:

“Do you offer a student discount with ISIC?”

In many cases, the staff will apply the discount once you show your valid ISIC card. And if there is no discount available, you lose nothing by asking.

Where should you show your ISIC card?

Many students use ISIC only at school or when travelling. But it is worth keeping it with you almost all the time. You may be able to get a student discount in many places, for example:

  • cinemas, theatres, and cultural centres,
  • museums and galleries,
  • aquaparks, sports centres, and wellness centres,
  • trains, buses, and public transport,
  • restaurants, cafés, and fast food places,
  • bookshops and stationery shops,
  • clothing stores, electronics shops, and stores with school supplies.

The price difference for one ticket or purchase may seem small. But when you add up all your summer expenses, the total savings can reach hundreds or even thousands of Czech crowns.

Student discounts are not always something sellers will automatically tell you about. However, if you ask and show your valid ISIC card, you can often save more than you expect. So do not leave your ISIC at home — take it with you to trips, festivals, holidays, and even regular summer afternoons in the city.
