Aachen

Medieval alleys, the world heritage site of the imperial cathedral and a lot of European flair: you can experience all this in Aachen. The city in the border triangle of Germany - the Netherlands - Belgium is a perfect destination for history buffs. There is no way around the impressive cathedral and its treasury. The monumental building is centrally located in the picturesque old town. During a tour, you will learn a lot about the time and life of its "builder" Charlemagne. But Germany's westernmost city offers much more. Culinary specialties such as the famous Aachen Printen or delicacies from the Netherlands and Belgium are worth a stop. The "Carolus" thermal baths, for example, offer relaxation and wellness. Their hot springs were already appreciated by the Romans.
