Germany: Guided tour of Aachen｜Germany

At the indicated time we will meet at Aachen Central Station.

We will begin the guided tour of the historic center of Aachen. First, we will cross one of the entrances to the medieval wall, Marschiertor, which dates back to the 13th century. As we stroll through the streets of the old town, we will delight in the aroma of the pastry shops dedicated to the famous Printen cookies. They have become an emblem!

Finally we will arrive at the Aachen Cathedral and its Treasury, a colossal monumental complex whose origins date back to the 8th century. It will surprise you! And do you want to know the relationship of this temple with the ancient king of the Franks? We will learn everything about its history at the next stop: the Charlemagne Center.

Next, we will contemplate the building par excellence of Carolingian architecture, the famous Aachen Town Hall, and we will pass by the bourgeois house converted into the Couven Museum and the picturesque doll fountain, the most famous in the German city.

We will end this tour in the most important tourist center in 18th century Europe: the Elisenbrunnen building.
