UDG Study Tours
26 May - 3 June 2001

Strasbourg is famous as the home of the European courts and parliament, but it is also a fine historic city which has replanned its public spaces and transport over the last ten years, and is home to a number of interesting new buildings. The "short tour" from Friday 1st June to Monday 4th will include a visit to the Vitra complex and the Beyeler Foundation near Basle. The cost of air fare, hotel (b & b) and trip to Basle will be around £340.- per person (double room) for UDG members and £380.- for non-members.

The longer tour from Saturday 26th May to Sunday 3rd June includes visits to a number of historic towns in nearby Germany and Switzerland founded by the Dukes of Zähringen in the 12th C. This tour, including rail travel and participation in the Strasbourg visit, costs £500 for UDG members and £540 for non-members.
