To see in Aachen

Aachen Cathedral, or the Dom, is one of the most significant landmarks in Germany, both for its architectural grandeur and its historical importance.

The Aachen Cathedral Treasury (Domschatzkammer) is home to one of the most important collections of religious art and relics in Europe. Located next to the cathedral, the treasury showcases priceless items that tell the story of Aachen’s spiritual and political history.

The Aachen Town Hall stands as one of the city’s most significant historical buildings, blending Gothic and Baroque architectural elements. The Rathaus, with tall towers and detailed statues of kings, was constructed in the 14th century on the foundations of Charlemagne’s former palace.
