Aachen invites you to travel back in time. You won't see any skyscrapers in this city flanked by Hautes Fagnes and Eifel nature parks, Aachen is bursting with historical tradition with buildings such as the Town Hall, the cathedral and its treasure or even the Couven Museum, all such tradition standing alongside the trappings of our modern existence.

You'll enjoy the charm of its pedestrian streets, its small squares with welcoming outdoor café areas, its food tradition and if you wish, the shops are never far away. Here you get the sense of a dynamic city through its carnival and its famous Christmas market, which is without doubt worth a trip at that time of year.
