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 cathedral is the 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 want to learn and are interested in history, the cathedral is a great place to visit. Taking a guided tour is highly recommended! [http://www.aachendom.de/ Aachener Dom]
Lindt, Bahlsen & Lambertz Werksverkauf / Lindt, Bahlsen & Lambertz industrial selling
Who does not like chocolate?!
If you ever wanted to get Lindt chocolate for cheap, we highly recommend this opportunity! 1kg of parliné for less than 5€ seems tempting, doesn't it?
Hours: Monday till Friday, 9am - 6pm and Saturday, 9am - 4pm
Address: Süsterfeldstraße 130, 52072 Aachen
If you make it to Lindt, stopping by at the Bahlsen industrial selling is worth the time as well. It is just across the street from Lindt. If you like cookies, you will love this place!
Hours: Monday till Friday, 9am - 6pm and Saturday, 9am - 1pm
Address: Süsterfeldstr. 27, 52072 Aachen
Just down the street, there is another industrial selling by Lambertz. Their specialties are gingerbread and the famous Aachener Printen which you can get all year round.
Hours: Monday till Friday, 9am - 6pm and Saturday, 9am - 1pm
Address: Ritterstraße 9, 52072 Aachen
