Top 10 Things to do Good for a Rainy Day in Aachen, North Rhine-Westphalia
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.

We visited Bitte nicht blinzeln, Please don't blink!” I was not expecting much from a "magic witchcraft" show. But what I (didn't) see from 3 meters distance was just unbelievable - while not blinking any time. And this all was not only skills, but also brilliant amusement with some mentalistic tricks.

Any structure that speaks about historical facts and figures are always interesting. Aachen Cathedral is no exception. The Gothic architecture is too evident in the structure. Tall minarets, high domes with stained glass paintings and large doors welcoming you... with quiet interiors. The Dom Cathedral of Aachen was built by the great Emperor Charliemagne and his body is buried here.. There are many more religious leaders and Kings are also buried here. In that sense this is almost like a holy place with so many historically famous and those who have been associated with Infant Jesus, - the infant jesus cloth was sbelieved to have been brought by Emperor Charlie... Its said that the Loin cloth of Jesus was also brought by him It is an important pilgrimage stop. Its indeed an architectural marvel embedded with historical facts that makes it extremely interested.

The town hall of Rathaus is hard to miss as it's right in the old town and part of the Charlemagne Route. It's a put much of the facade is under covers dues to renovations, but what you can see is pretty. Even by the standards of Gothic architecture, the facade is adorned with an incredible number of statues. Inside you can see a painting of Charlemagne and two paintings of Napoleon and Josephine in the main hall.
