The Pilgrim Identity Card
After a priest has issued the Pilgrim Identity Card, the Rome traveller was officially a pilgrim. In former times this letter guaranteed food supply and accommodation for one night, in some houses also up to three nights.
Today, the Pilgrim Identity Card helps to be hosted in churches and other facilities. In order to get accommodation it is important to be recognized as a pilgrim. The document guarantees that pilgrims accommodation are not used by car tourists.
How to get the Pilgrim Identity Card
1. Order a Pilgrim Identity Card (Via Francigena)
2. Transmission of the needed personal data
3. Efter Eurovia has received the payment the ID will be sent automatically
(The Pilgrim Identity Card prevents "car tourists" to occupy favourable pilgrim accommodations at particularly popular places, like Siena.)
Furthermore the Pilgrim Identity Card offers reduced prices or free entrances to some museums and historical buildings.
