Trains Operated by German Federal Railways (Germany's Nationwide Station Day) - Multiple Stations Spread Across Leipzig
Get ready for an unusual yet exciting event in Leipzig, Germany, as athletes and books join forces on Reading Day. On Friday, the city will host the nationwide "Vorlesetag," with a host of activities planned across the city.
One of the main venues for the reading events will be the main railway station in Leipzig, which will be transformed into a reading hall. The schedule for the extended reading events at the station has not been released yet, but readings will take place at the family waiting area on platform 24 from 10 am to 2 pm.
