Benefits with the card

Leisure card Heist-op-den-Berg services do not give discounts to people with a European Disability Card. This is because in our municipality we work with the Leisure Card. Persons with a Leisure Card receive an 80% discount on the leisure offer in Heist-op-den-Berg and a 60% discount on out-of-school childcare. Customized offer Tourism
