Make the Most of Your Aachen Stay

A Carolingian capital at the crossroads of Europe

Aachen earned its place in history as Charlemagne's chosen residence and the coronation site for over 30 German kings across 6 centuries. The UNESCO-listed cathedral, with its original octagonal Palatine Chapel dating to 796, remains the city's centerpiece, while the Gothic Town Hall rises from Charlemagne's palace foundations. This compact city sits at the Three Country Point where Germany, Belgium, and the Netherlands converge, creating an international atmosphere. The thermal springs that attracted Romans still flow at the neoclassical Elisenbrunnen pavilion, maintaining a wellness tradition spanning millennia.

Modern energy meets medieval streets

RWTH Aachen University brings youthful energy to the historic center, particularly in the Pontviertel district where students fill bars along Pontstraße. The Burtscheid quarter offers quieter spa-focused atmosphere with thermal facilities, while Carolus Thermen provides contemporary wellness with 8 pools and 15 saunas. Business travelers benefit from the Eurogress conference center and excellent rail connections—high-speed trains reach Brussels in 30 minutes and Cologne in 35 minutes.

Strategic positioning for exploration

The city's location makes cross-border day trips effortless to Maastricht's culinary scene, Monschau's half-timbered charm in the Eifel hills, or Liège's Belgian character. Aachen's efficient bus network covers the compact center, while high-speed rail connections make this an ideal base for regional business or extended exploration.
