What to do and see in Aachen, North Rhine-Westphalia: The Best Things to do Good for Kids
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.

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.

We had heard that the Aachen Christmas market was one to definitely see. It was indeed. We spent 3 hours walking about, stalls, church’s and shops full of people enjoying the Christmas season. The market goes from one area down through the streets, a mulled wine will keep the adults warm and the children’s merry go round will keep them happy too. Lots to see.

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.
