© Euro-Fuchsia (2011) €0.00 Meeting 2012 The next meeting of Euro-Fuchsia will be a short and non hosted meeting, which will focus on an exchange of information about fuchsias and a visit of the Dutch Floriade in Venlo. As the hotels in Venlo are during the Floriade extremely expensive, the meeting will take place in Aachen, Germany. The city is well situated at several motorways and the rail-line Brussels - Cologne (German Rail and Thalys). From the airport Cologne you may use the local express train via Cologne to Aachen, which requires a travel time of about 1 hours and 20 minutes. And Aachen is a worth seeing city. From the hotel it is only about 200 m to main railway station and about 800 m to Aachen cathedral. The bus travel to Venlo will take about one hour each direction.
