In addition, before you start using the tourist card, you should familiarize yourself with the list of hotels with which the service works. When booking rooms from these establishments, discounts can be very pleasant to please. The same applies to some restaurants, coffee, bars and other establishments of a similar profile.
After the hours for which the Card was issued, do not rush and throw it into the trash can - offers for discounts and promotions remain valid until the end of the current year from the moment the Guest Card is activated.
