You can print the Discovery Ticket or save it as a PDF on your smartphone.
Some Discovery Tickets are also available from the ticket office or ticketing machine in the station.

The Discovery Ticket discount only applies to your return rail travel on the same day. If your journey requires the use of a bus, tram or the metro, you will need to purchase an additional transport ticket.
