Where can I get a student ID in Poland (Wroclaw) using my American Student ID?

I am a student in America and I have just traveled to Poland. There are a lot of trams here and tickets are cheaper for student tickets then for normal tickets. I have my American student ID card but it is not a legal form of ID in Poland. I know there is a place I can get a Polish/International student ID which I can use, but I don't know where to get it and how much it costs.

I am going to Wroclaw today, and wondering how much it would potentially cost, and where exactly I can get one?

What do I need to provide to prove that I am a student - is my American student ID enough?

Best Answer

I am afraid there is not such a thing as national Polish student ID. There are only the IDs of respective Polish universities which you need to be enrolled to (or be a part of student exchange program) in order to get one.

However, from my observation - they will accept foreign student ID (and some international cards like ISIC or Euro26) in most places - especially cinemas, museums.

The problems may be with national railways - you may have problems getting discount ticket if you are not enrolled to Polish university.

If you are coming to Poland for a student exchange, you can use ISIC to apply for student discounts. Some popular tourist attractions accept ISIC and student cards from Polish HEIs.

The cost of the card varies depending on the country of issue, but costs between 4 \u2013 25 USD. To be as fair as possible, the costs of the card is regulated by the purchasing power within each country where the card is issued (as calculated by the International Monetary Fund (IMF)).
