Description
Travel back in time to this spa town where German kings were crowned and see many historic sites like the well-preserved medieval buildings and city gates.
Once chosen by Charlemagne as the capital of his empire, the city of Aachen is more than meets the eye. Its cathedral was rightfully chosen as Germany’s first Unesco World Heritage Site, for being the burial place of the great Frankish emperor, where his throne still stands today and for the many holy relics that it holds.
We will not miss the Puppet Fountain that captivates both children and adults with its symbolism and characters, like the rooster, the horse, the professor or the canon. This story and many more will make your visit to this city a fascinating time, in a tour that covers all the major highlights of Charlemagne's legacy.
