Do & See
Most of Aachen’s must-see attractions are relics of Charlemagne’s era, introducing visitors to the city’s rich medieval history. The city has a vibrant museum scene that draws artists from around the globe and theatres that present both classic plays and modern reinterpretations, alongside opera performances. Aachen's Christmas Market is a major attraction in December. The squares around the cathedral transform into a festive wonderland, brimming with charming wooden stalls. Here, you can find unique gifts, local delicacies, the famous Printen, and, of course, warming glühwein.
