What Is the ESNcard?

The ESNcard is your official membership card for the Erasmus Student Network. It gives you access to ESN services, exclusive partner discounts, and reduced prices for most ESN Luzern activities — including trips, cultural events, and social evenings.

Across Europe, your ESNcard connects you to thousands of discounts on accommodation, transport, food, sport, and more. It also allows you to join ESN events in other cities and countries, helping you expand your experience far beyond Luzern.

Who Can Get an ESNcard?

The ESNcard is available to exchange students, international students, and young people who wish to take part in ESN activities and support ESN Luzern.

What Do I Need?

• A printed, colour passport-style photograph.

Where Can I Get One?

Cards are sold at many ESN Luzern events, especially at the start of each semester. If you're unsure whether a particular event will offer ESNcards, simply contact us — we’re happy to help.
