The Midwest High Speed Rail Association is planning a tour of Germany and France this summer, focusing on "Livability Through Better Mobility." They’ll tie together airports, high speed rail, street cars, bike paths, and sidewalks – and show the interconnectedness of different transit modes and how it affects the quality of life in a given city. And of course, there will be plenty of non-travel time set aside for exploring these beautiful cities. Here is the itinerary:
- Sun, June 22: Arrive in Berlin, Germany
- Mon, June 23: Berlin. Local sightseeing, museum visit
- Tues, June 24: Berlin. Tour of the city transport system
- Wed, June 25: Berlin to Muenster. Afternoon tour of bicycle city
