Top Attractions in Aachen
💡 Bring an empty bottle. The water tastes strongly of egg; locals swear by its health benefits. Best visited at dusk when the building is lit up.
💡 For a dirt-cheap lunch, try the currywurst at Imbiß am Büchel (€3.50). The square usually has free live music on warm Friday evenings from May to September.
💡 Arrive just after morning mass (around 8:30am) to avoid tour groups. The treasury is worth the €5 if you're interested in medieval relics.
💡 Follow the spiral path near the café up to the top—less steep than the main steps. Pair with a visit to the nearby Bismarckturm if you want views.
💡 The ground floor pharmacy is the highlight. Ask at the desk about the guided 20-minute audio tour included in the ticket—it's not obvious.
