3-Star Hotels in Aachen — What to Expect
Aachen is a city shaped by thermal springs and imperial history. Its heart is the magnificent Aachen Cathedral, a UNESCO site where Charlemagne was crowned and is now buried. The Elisenbrunnen fountain still dispenses warm, sulfurous spa water, a reminder of the city's ancient Roman roots. For a change of pace, browse the independent shops along Pontstraße or relax in the expansive Stadtgarten park.
The city center, within the ring of roads that trace the old city walls, is the most convenient base for exploring on foot.
