Aachen Cathedral, the historic town hall and the classicist Elisenbrunnen fountain - these are just three of Aachen's most famous sights! Of course, there is much more to see. And you know what's great? As a small city, you can easily discover almost all the must-sees, museums and squares on foot. Take a walk from Aachen Market through the Old Town to the Frankenberger Viertel or to Burtscheid, our spa district. If you need a break, the cafés, restaurants and parks will welcome you!

Why don't you stay a little longer? Aachen has even more to offer!
Carolus Thermen
Did you know that Aachen officially bears the title Bad Aachen?
Even before Charlemagne, the Romans appreciated our hot springs. Today, you can enjoy them above all in the thermal worlds of the Carolus Thermen. Together with the sauna world and the Carolus Spa, you are guaranteed to leave here relaxed and rejuvenated! A must for those seeking relaxation.
Aachen Museums
From the history of the city to church treasures and modern art - history comes alive in Aachen's museums! At the Centre Charlemagne you can feel how heavy a chain mail shirt was, at the IZM you can get hands-on with media skills, at the Couven Museum you can travel back in time to the 18th and 19th centuries, and the exhibitions, workshops and events at the Ludwig Forum keep bringing art to life. And that's not all! You're guaranteed not to get bored in the many museums. Feel the Aachen culture!
Out into nature
Even though Aachen's city center and our cathedral are beautiful, you should definitely visit the surrounding area while you're here! Here you'll not only find delicious Printen, but also plenty of nature. Whether you take a leisurely stroll through the Aachen Forest, search for the right path in the labyrinth at the border triangle or climb the hills on your bike, there's something for everyone here. So, put on your outdoor gear and get out into nature - Aachen's surrounding area is waiting to be explored by you!
