Aachen

Situated near the borders of Belgium and the Netherlands, Aachen is a vibrant tri-border city shaped by centuries of cross-cultural influence. Known for its natural hot springs since Roman times, Aachen has been a renowned spa destination for over 2,000 years. Discover the city’s historic charm on a captivating walking tour through its picturesque old town. Begin at the iconic Aachen Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the final resting place of Charlemagne, where you’ll marvel at its majestic architecture and imperial legacy. Just nearby, explore the Cathedral Treasury, home to a remarkable collection of medieval relics and sacred artifacts. Continue to Centre Charlemagne, a modern museum that brings Aachen’s Roman and Carolingian past to life. Next, make your way to the imposing City Hall, once the setting for royal coronation banquets, before stepping into the lively Market Square, dotted with charming cafés and historic buildings.
