 Somehow, it seems as if Kaiser Karl is still there...
Aachen’s Altstadt backdrop has a lot of flair. Numerous fountains and plazas entice you to linger. You can feel the history while discovering the modern hustle and bustle. The Dom and Rathaus, connected by the Katschhof square, form Aachen’s geographical centre. Twice a week, there is a market selling products from the local area. Asparagus from Heinsberg, trout from the Eifel, mustard from Monschau. Here, retail trade is still in the form of traditional family enterprises. Beautiful shop windows invite you to dawdle taking in their large selection of offerings. Basket makers, hat makers, coffee and tea shops, well-known Printe gingerbread bakers and exquisite confectionery shops, personally managed book shops and stationary shops, fashion shops, chemists and household goods. There’s so much to see.
Aachen’s beautiful district of Laurensberg is a place with self-confidence.
Understandable ...
where else would you find old castles and history in the middle of a green landscape while being so close to the city? Laurensberg is a city district with its own character. Businesses have settled here and the area has a very good infrastructure. You can find doctors, opticians, chemists and everything you need for everyday life here. Good transportation connections with several bus lines ensures you have easy accessibility to the city centre until late into the evening...
