Best known as the capital of Charlemagne's Frankish empire, today's Aachen sits at the juncture where Germany meets the Netherlands (the Dutch know it as Aken) and Belgium (where "Walloons" call it Aix-la-Chapelle). But Aachen's history goes back even further than 8th-century Charlemagne. Roman soldiers dating back to the 1st century AD cherished its hot springs (as did Charlemagne, who loved a good spa day just as much as the next guy). Aachen Cathedral, northern Europe's oldest and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is the city's main attraction.

The Klein Printen bakery in Aachen is centrally located in the inner city. We have also set up a small Museum in Franzstrasse, a small group of at least twenty people are welcome to visit us for a tour, a sniff and a nibble. The museum is only available to the public through our guided tours. Please contact us in advance to book an appointment. We'll share with you some interesting details on the raw materials and ingredients, but remember the recipe is a carefully guarded secret so we won't be sharing that with you. However we will explain the differences between the preparation and processing of the dough in today's modern day, as to the way it was done many generations ago. Please contact us in advance to book an appointment as the tour is approximately an hour long. If you're pressed for time we do offer a shorter version of the tour. As stated before we can accommodate a group of at least twenty people. If your group is larger than 50 people they will be split up.

Lindt chocolates!! What more can I say........ The selection is huge, prices are good compared to the high street and they have plenty of empty boxes for you to put all your goodies into!! We had driven over to Aachen from England, this outlet store is easy to find and it's got free parking. It was an ideal time of year to visit for Xmas presents etc, also just up the road there's another outlet store selling gingerbread products, biscuits etc made by Lambertz, this is well worth visiting too.

The Aquis Plaza, which was opened in October 2015, is located at the end of the Adalbertstraße shopping mile in Aachen. The plaza has about 130 shops covering a sales area of 29,200 square metres, split over two floors. A food court with different cuisines from all over the world has something for every taste. Perfect for well-earned nourishment after a shopping marathon. C/p Aachen tourist info
