Aachen is a vibrant, young city and the westernmost major city of Germany. Part of the city's boundaries also form the borders with the neighbouring countries of Belgium and the Netherlands. Aachen is home to many universities, including the internationally renowned Rheinisch-Westfälische Technische Hochschule (RWTH Aachen University). From the 8th century until the beginning of the Reformation, the city was the coronation site and residence of many Holy Roman and Germanic kings and emperors. An impressive testimony to this time is the more than 1200-year-old Aachen Cathedral, housing the throne of Charlemagne, which remains unchanged in the middle of the historical sacred structure. The unique mixture of internationality, cultural diversity, mediaeval buildings and a young scene makes Aachen an attractive city with a high quality of life. To explore Aachen, its numerous sights and its scenic surroundings in comfort, a rental car from Enterprise Rent-A-Car will stand you in good stead. You will find Enterprise directly in Aachen or at the Europaplatz. Both locations are less than two miles from Aachen train station.

Attractions in Aachen

The heart of the harmonious old town is the market square with the magnificent facade of Aachen Town Hall. This imposing building was built in the 14th century and one of the side towers even dates back to the time of Charlemagne. From the market square, a small attractive shopping street leads directly to the city's most famous emblem — Aachen Cathedral. This historic site impresses visitors with its overwhelming architecture as well as its historical significance. The church has been an important site in European history for centuries. In fact, the city can also be called Bad Aachen, as there is also a thermal spring here. In the stylish Elisenbrunnen pavilion, you can get to know the highly sulphurous water of what is known as the Kaiserquelle.

Attractions outside Aachen

The border with the Netherlands runs along the northwest periphery of Aachen and Belgium begins in the southwest. Both neighbouring countries boast a variety of attractions that are well worth a trip. One interesting destination is the Dutch city of Maastricht, which is just 25 miles away! The drive over country roads will give you many beautiful impressions of the charming landscape of the Dutch province of Limburg. For a trip to nearby Belgium, we can recommend the less than one hour drive to the spa resort of Spa in the green hills of the Ardennes. Here you will find a harmonious cityscape with impressive classicist spa architecture. Spa is also home to the famous Spa-Francorchamps Formula 1 race track.

Parking and driving in Aachen

There are a total of 24 car parks in the immediate city centre around the cathedral and town hall, offering you plenty of parking facilities even during rush hour. An efficient parking guidance system keeps you up to date on which car parks have free spaces. One thing that is unusual for foreign visitors is the great number of bicycles, which are a popular means of transport for the many students in the city. Bicycles are also ubiquitous in neighbouring Holland and have some priorities over car drivers.
