• Explore the Aachener Dom (Aachen Cathedral) just moments away. Originally founded during the 8th century, the Aachener Dom is now a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site. Many historical objects are located inside this magnificent church, including Charlemagne’s marble throne.

• Visit the brilliant Elisenbrunnen just down the road. This glorious Neoclasscial pavilion was constructed to commemorate Aachen’s historical reputation as a health resort due to its many thermal springs. The Elisenbrunnen consists of an open foyer and two large drinking wells.

• Travel to the historic Ponttor several blocks away. This remarkable castle is just one of two remaining city gates that formed part of the imposing wall that protected Aachen throughout most of its history. (The other surviving gate is known as the Marschiertor, but far less of it remains).
