Membership
The hostelling international membership card opens the door to the world's largest network of safe, clean, welcoming hostels. The best option is to purchase a membership in your home country from your nearest Youth Hostel Association office or membership selling outlet before you start your journey.
If Austria is not your country of residence and you have already started your journey, you can buy welcome stamps. A stamp costs 3,50 Euro per night and 6 stamps replace a membership card.
