"EuroMeet 2008" Top 5 Page for this destination Karlsruhe Travelogue by Nemorino


Karlsruhe Travel Guide: 992 reviews and 4,014 photos

This is where J.R. Johnson and Tilman Reissfelder signed the contract creating the VirtualTourist Corporation, and this is where we had our big Saturday night meeting at EuroMeet 2008.




At this meeting I didn't take masses of photos, because I was confident that others (with better cameras) would do so, and they certainly did.

Ingrid (trekki) for example. Here she is taking a photo during our walking tour of Karlsruhe on Saturday morning.




As it happened, there was a Fire Brigade demonstration going on when we came by on our tour of Karlsruhe. Here they are showing off a historical fire wagon from the year 1905.




To see lots of photos by other VT members who were present at EuroMeet 2008, please click here to get to a list of links.

Also I have posted a General Tip about EuroMeet 2008.

    Fascinating travel pages of the city. CallBikes rental system certainly sounds interesting. Impressive cycling infrastructure with red cycling lanes at intersections certainly looks great to us. Also great photos from VT meetings. ~ho & pang

    A very interesting page. Loved reading about the "Tulip girls" and I thought the 'call bikes' were a great idea!
