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.

My name is Anja and I have been living in my adopted home of Aachen for 30 years and have never lost the "view from outside" on this lovable and liveable city! I would like to show you the charm of this city, which explains itself in the situation in the tri-border region and the young life by the many students. I love to bring this historic city to others, of course with the classics, but always individually and flexibly! There is always time for questions and discussions!

Welcome! My name is Martina Fey. Aachen has been my home for over 40 years! This city is close to my heart and I really enjoy introducing my guests to the city with all its facets! Actually, I am a trained landscape architect. For 10 years I have been out and about in Aachen with many different themed tours. Due to the many topics, I am very flexible in terms of content. I am happy to respond to individual requests on my tours.
