Plan a visit

The Katschhof between the Aachen Cathedral and the town hall appears sublime.

The Katschhof was the inner courtyard of Charlemagne's palace and the connection point between the Königshalle (today Aachen City Hall) and St. Mary's Church (today Aachen Cathedral). During the Christmas season, part of the Aachen Christmas market takes place on the square. From the stairs at the town hall you have a great view of the Katschhof and a beautiful view of Aachen Cathedral.
