Extension and Application

• Imagine that you are travelling this weekend (just like Inge in the video) from Cologne to Bingen am Rhein. You want to travel by train and you need to buy a train ticket. Here is the link to Deutsche Bahn (German Railroad). Explore the webpage and find the best deal you can. Your departure day is Friday, the 17th of April and you want to return to Cologne on Sunday, the 19th of April. Stop surfing the web page once you reach the point where you have to pay with the credit card. Consider the following questions:
• What time should you travel to get the best deal?
• What time should you travel so that you do not have to switch trains?
• What type of train will get you there the fastest? (RB, IC, ICE, S)
• What is the distance between Colonge and Bingen?
• What is the difference between Sparangebote und Flexpreise?
• Which type of ticket would be best for you? Why?
• Locate Cologne and Bingen on the map.

Here is the best deal that I found at the time when I was looking. Can you beat it?

Take a screenshot of your Angebot and share with your classmate, teacher.

As you see in the previous slides, I would be travelling with the IC (Intercity). (The IC trains travel at a maximum speed of up to 200km/h, which makes them only slightly slower than the high-speed Intercity Express (ICE). Intercity (IC) trains operate solely within Germany.) I could be in Bingen in 2 hours 12 min and would need to switch trains once.

Culture

• Watch the video Bingen am Rhein | Stadt und Sehenswürdigkeiten | Rhein-Eifel.TV and answer the following questions: (personal device required to view)
• Why would Bingen be a great weekend getaway for someone like Inge?
• What would she do there?
• Would Bingen be a good place to visit by a young person like yourself?
