Aachen is the westernmost city in Germany and has a lot of history dating back even before the Viking ages. It's very close to the both the Belgium border as the border with the Netherlands. With it's historic streets and big cathedral dating back to the middle ages it's a city that's popular among local tourists. It's a great place to stay for the weekend while going for a bike or hike weekend in the nearby national parks in Belgium and Germany.
I stayed in Aachen while I was on a weekend trip to Belgium to explore it's natural parks and nature. While exploring the city a big thunderstorm hit the area. I found shelter in a local restaurant. After I finished my food I saw the storm had passed and the sky began to show amazing colors. I quickly left and took some photographs of the wet streets during the blue-hour.
Cheers,
Thijs
Very nice town, a cozy well laid out place, I would probably like to stay there too.
Thank you! They have some great restaurants too, including traditional German food. Which is something I really like. Thanks for stopping by.
I love Germany very much, I hope one day to visit at least its most touristy places.
Or even beter, the hidden gems. 😉
Yes you are right, but for hidden gems I have to do a lot of research.
I am very spontaneous, if I want to visit something I go there, but also at the same time I inform myself a bit about the place I want to visit.
