The Centre Charlemagne: where Aachen's city history comes to life.

In the heart of Charlemagne's former palatinate district, the Centre Charlemagne - Neues Stadtmuseum Aachen (New City Museum Aachen) brings to life key stages of the city's history and delights young and old alike. Families with children are in just the right place here, as they can try out lots of things together in the history laboratory while immersing themselves in Carolingian times: How heavy was chain mail? What was the ink for the magnificent manuscripts made of? The starting point of the "Route Charlemagne" is definitely worth a visit!
