Things to do in Aachen
If you are arriving early enough (or are departing late enough), there are a few things to do in Aachen.
Aachener Dom / Cathedral
The [http://www.aachendom.de/ cathedral] is the major landmark of Aachen. It was the palatinate of Charlemagne, and several other ancient kings and emperors were crowned under the cathedral's dome. A relict from these days is the marble throne on the upper level of the cathedral. Since 1978, it is an UNESCO World Heritage, the first one in Germany.
If you are a history geek or just want to learn more, the cathedral is a great place to visit. Taking a guided tour is highly recommended!
Lindt, Bahlsen & Lambertz Werksverkauf / Lindt, Bahlsen & Lambertz factory outlet

If you make it to Lindt, stopping by at the Bahlsen factory outlet is worth the time as well. It is just across the street from Lindt. Cookie monsters will love this place!
