Aachen sits right where Germany brushes against Belgium and the Netherlands, a border position that made it Charlemagne's chosen capital and left behind a cathedral that still anchors the old town. The thermal springs that drew Roman bathers centuries ago now warm a city built for wandering between café stops and quiet museum halls. Spend a morning among the curiosities tucked into its medieval streets, an afternoon in its museums, and an evening at one of the restaurants near the market square, with hotels close enough to walk back from.
