Aachen Things to Do Tips by ape_huva

Aachen Winter Market!

That's it! beautiful, crowded and warm! German people surprised me as they are open and very friendly. The party was hot as if they were in the Caribbean and it was very cold I have to say. Coming from London we enjoyed the German food (more than sausages) and hot wine. Everyone in town came down to the city center to celebrate. The situation of the market is perfect, between two magnificent buildings: the Cathedral and the City Hall.

Visit Köln

Köln is a short trip away from Aachen. We got a very modern, confortable and fast train and visit it. It's Cathedral is a must. One of the biggest in the world for sure! You better be fit if wanna reach to the top. María and Lou wanted to kill me on the stairs!

Dusseldorf

We arrived to Dusseldorf Niederhien and reached the city by bus. Our french-german friend Melanie (Erasmus I met in Spain) was there to show us the city. Dusseldorf is not the most beutiful city in Germany, but I found a nice atmosphere and everything was very clean.
In every german city you can find a typical kind of beer. I tried Dusseldorf's and is really good!!
