Description
In Aachen, the westernmost German city, you can walk in time-honoured footsteps, you can move to three countries in one step, enjoy thermal water and experience a lot of culture. Aachen not only inspired the Romans, but also Charlemagne, with whom the meteoric rise of the formerly small settlement to the political center of the Carolingian Empire and later European city began. Today you can discover more than 30 healing thermal springs, the impressive cathedral, museums worth seeing such as the international newspaper museum or the spa facilities. And from the three-country point you can see neighboring Belgium and the Netherlands.
