Aachen calls itself ‘The City in the Heart of Europe’,
for it lies directly on the Belgian and Dutch borders,
making it a convenient base for daytrips to Liège and
Maastricht, as well as into Germany’s scenic Northern
Eifel to the south.
It is still often referred to as Aix-la-Chapelle, after
Charlemagne’s great Palatine Chapel, now part of its
glorious treasure-filled Cathedral and a ‘must’ for any
art-lover. Aachen is also an elegant spa, with over 30
therapeutic thermal springs in and around the city. |
