If you can do take a moment to stop and admire this cathedral inside and out. It’s particularly beautiful when seen lit up in the evening. If you fancy attending gluten and dairy free patisserie, the cafe opposite - Isabella - in the main square is pricey but delicious

Constructed at the turn of the 9th century, the Palatine Chapel in Aachen stands as a testament to the ambition and legacy of Charlemagne, the first Holy Roman Emperor. Originally conceived as the centerpiece of his imperial palace complex, the chapel was designed not only as a place of worship but also as a powerful symbol of his newly established empire's grandeur and a physical representation of the a "new Rome". Its architectural brilliance lies in its unique fusion of classical, Byzantine, and Carolingian elements.

The cathedral is unique both inside and outside. It is art in absolute. Inside, the cathedral is covered with golden mosaics and beautiful ornaments. Outside, you can see unusual fountains and a cute sculpture of Charles.

Most unusual- keeps the look of the old times. A very beautiful cathedral a lot out of the main path.

didn't get time to go inside but it's a great place to sit and look at the stunning architecture, the town is nice and the sandwiches from one of the many coffee shops was great, really enjoyed the place.

In the center of the old city, this structure impresses from any perspective. It is wonderful to tour or simply admire from the vantage point of any of the great dining establishments nearby.

No ticket is required. You can visit inside the Cathedral and enjoy the religious & historical significance. Clicking photos and videos are also allowed.

We had a very good waiter so the service was excellent. Too bad the food didn’t follow the same vibe. The food was plane, bland and luke warm. We hoped to get the opportunity to savour some great local dishes, but we left disappointed. The wine was ok but not excellent either. The vibe is good though, the restaurant has a trendy and cosy feel and most of the staff are very friendly and professional. Go there for a drink but skip the food.

Pretty sight, but has a strong smell of rotten eggs. I thought it was because of the hot temperatures outside, but later I learned that this is normal. It is known for its unpleasant-smelling thermal water: The two drinking fountains of the Elisenbrunnen in Aachen provide warm, sulphurous water at a temperature of 52°C. The unpleasant odour is due to the high sulphur content.

It is nice but a lot of homeless there. Water with soulf smell ugly for me. In the back is a place with old walls of the city..is nice

Oftentimes, instrumental music is played here with people dancing to it. If you're lucky, you might be entertained by a whole band for free. It's always a pleasure to pass by and a great addition to the ambience of the old city.

Food good, but a bit on the expensive side, with service unbelievably slow... For drinks we waited more than 30min, for soup more than an hour and even then they brought different soup to what we ordered. We used to come here to dine, but we'll seek something else next time.

A quick stop, but there’s not much to see. I would have liked to learn a little more about the history of this place and about the properties of the thermal water, but maybe I missed this information somewhere? You can look everything online these days, but sometimes you just prefer to have the information on the spot.

Nice enough structure. There were people dancing to music when we were there (Sunday about 4pm). There are quite a few homeless people on the main road and a couple of beggars too. Takes the shine off a bit.

Quality museum, but the staff interactions left us with a negative experience while the rest of our time in Aachen was wonderful. Of note: Receptionist at the ticket desk was rather rude. While I recognize our party of two arrived near the end of the day with an hour to go before closing, the staff member appeared bothered by every interaction she had to make with us from handing over cash that she wanted left on the counter rather than being taken from our hands, to having to hold our small backpacks that she insisted on us checking with the desk, to clearly being frustrated with interacting with two non-native speakers when we were seeking clarity to make sure we didn’t impose. Not usually one for leaving reviews, but very disappointed in their customer service.

It’s a small museum with some interesting furniture and artwork dating from a different era. Only takes 10 to 30 minutes to go through the entire exhibit. It’s not entirely breathtaking, but it’s certainly interesting to walk through. Admittance was €10 to get in.

Very nice Museum, the rooms are well kept, the smell from all the perfums. The people was very friendly, they answer to all the questions. The locations was very accessible.

It is like visiting a house from the 18 century. The personal use to follow you every where you go but don't take it personal, they do that for everyone. It has an small inner yard where you can take a coffee for 1.50 EUR. It is a nice place if you like the art and your are curious about how the people lived in that times.

Zero charm at the entrance: the girl at the ticket desk made me leave a tiny backpack – pure pettiness. When I asked why my companion could keep her bag, she made her leave it too, out of spite. Professionalism clearly means something else here. Fortunately, there’s a lady upstairs, friendly and smiling, who saves the museum’s reputation.

Loved the Museum. We received a token from the aachen tourism office and could visit the Museum for free. Loved the place. It projects liyestyle of people from different tome period. Situated at tje very centre. Definitely recommended.

It was interesting to visit and look at everyday life of people, who were living in this place before. Not much is explained, but still very nice to visit

Absolutely loved my visit to the thermal springs! 💦🔥 This place is a true paradise for relaxation and recovery. There are so many different zones to explore — from hot steam rooms and Finnish saunas to gentle herbal baths and salt therapy rooms 🧖‍♂️🌿🧂. The variety of saunas is just amazing — each one with its own vibe and temperature, perfect for everyone’s preference 🧊🔥. The pools were the highlight for me — hot, warm, cold, even icy! 🥶♨️ You can dip in the hot mineral water and then jump into the cold pool for that refreshing shock 💥. The contrast therapy works wonders for both the body and mind. I spent hours just soaking, relaxing, and enjoying the peaceful atmosphere 😌🛁✨. The salt room was another gem — the air felt so clean and calming, it’s like breathing in pure wellness 🌬️💨. My skin felt amazing afterward, and my stress just melted away 💆‍♂️. The whole complex is super clean, well-maintained, and beautifully designed. You can easily spend a full day here and still not get bored 😍🕰️. I absolutely recommend this place to anyone looking to unwind, recharge, and treat themselves to something truly special 💖🌈. Whether you’re coming alone, as a couple, or with friends — this spot is a must-visit. Can’t wait to come back again! 🧳💚 🌟 10/10 experience 🌟

A wonderfu,l relaxing experience. Warm thermal baths with various water jets, massage showers etc and one cold pool. Two outside pools, one with lovely plants all around. You can buy all you need (swim suits, flip flops, towels, fancy soaps) or rent a towel or a bath robe. Nice self service restaurant too. You use your armband and pay later. There's a steam room and a room for resting, too. We did not go into the sauna area. I like the asset in the foyer.

I stopped by because I had extra time on my way to the Cathedral. The staff is welcoming and speaks English. It was a great discovery. The place is really well organized and clean. I loved of the references to Carolus Magnus. I spent most of my time in the sauna world. There are a lot of space, rooms and baths. I would definitely go back.

Perfect resting moment for me and my girlfriend's trip. 3.5h was enough to try everything, my favourite was the steam room with mint oil.

Great place. Very clean and modern, the baths are nice. The warmest bath is under 38°C, which is not very hot for me, but if a warm bath is good for you then this place is great. The steam room is lovely but in crowded days it can be difficult to get into.

My partner prefers to stay modestly dressed, even in spa areas, which should be a personal choice that is respected. However, one of the staff members (a male lifeguard) approached us and tried to touch the fabric of her swimwear, saying he wanted to “feel the texture.” We physically stopped him from doing so. When we refused and asked him not to touch her, he insisted that she either let him do so, take off the clothing, or leave the facility. We were made to leave the facility (swimming pool area). We found this behaviour completely unprofessional and inappropriate. After we spoke with the supervisor, we were refunded and advised to file a formal complaint. We appreciate that the supervisor refunded us, but we hope the management takes this issue seriously. No guest should ever be made to feel uncomfortable or pressured into physical contact at a spa or wellness center.

Be careful with your belongings! We were at this thermal on Friday, September 19th (two adults and two children), and although the facilities are fine and we had a pleasant and relaxing three hours inside, our entire experience was ruined by the fact that one of the towels we rented was stolen. We rented four large towels for €5 each and were charged a "€60 deposit", which they would return to us upon checkout. We entered the facilities, hung our four towels on one of the many hooks inside, and as we were about to leave, we discovered that one of the towels had been stolen. They charged us €15 for that used towel that someone had stolen. I'm sure this isn't the first time this has happened, and the spa staff doesn't even warn guests. They could advise people to leave their towels in the lockers before entering. It would be inconvenient because upon leaving, you'd have to go to the lockers and then back in to use the shower. But at least this way, the customer would avoid this unpleasant experience.

I was hoping that the museum would provide some history and context before we visited the cathedral, but it was a disappointment. Only one level was open in this large building and there was no access to the Marie tower, despite the glass connecting tunnel. Most of the artifacts are copies. We really would have appreciated a short film about the history of Aachen and Charlemagne. It’s been a very long time since I’ve studied about the Holy Roman Empire.

They have a English audio guide and that's really helpful and you can understand all the things and its very engaging if you are interested in exploring the history of aachen.

I retraced my steps from the morning to our first stop, the Charlemagne Centre. This museum showed the history of the city from pre Roman times through to the eighteenth century I think. There were some wonderful exhibits including a Roman glass drinking horn and Roman ear tweezers, a medieval crown, Arabic and Byzantine coins and some gospel covers. As well as exhibits there were various displays on events in the city such as the sack of the city by the Spanish to expel the Protestants in 1598, the 1656 fire that destroyed 90% of the old city, the change of borders in 1801 and 1815 and then 1918 and 1930 where the city moved between French and German control. The bombing and siege of the city in 1944 caused yet more large scale destruction. There were also sections on the importance of the city as a centre for scholarship and manuscript production and another section on Carolingian arms and armour. All good stuff! The displays had minimal descriptions in English but you could download an audio app if you wanted to. All of the media screens could be played in English. Entrance was 10 Euros and we were inside for about an hour.

Modern, well-structured museum that places Aachen’s history in context, from Roman times to Charlemagne and beyond. Nice timeline tying the exhibitions together.

The museum was very interesting, but half of the exhibits focused on the city, and the material specifically about Charlemagne was somewhat limited. Also, most of the commentary was in German. On a positive note, they have a nice coffee place.

I visited the exhibition on August 19 and, unfortunately, I would not recommend it. Upon arrival, I was disappointed that the receptionist made no effort to communicate in English, which made it difficult to understand the necessary information. I was only able to proceed thanks to the kindness of another visitor in line who helped translate. The exhibition itself was smaller than expected, and several of the interactive elements were out of order. Additionally, all the information and descriptions were only available in German, which made it hard to fully appreciate or understand the content as an international visitor. Given the limited experience and lack of accessibility for non-German speakers, I found the entrance fee quite high for what was offered.

An interesting city museum starting with the Romans to modern times. The focus is of course on Charlemagne. Who founded the city. His life and work is present everywhere in the city. The museum offers changing exhibitions. Plan for 2 hours.r

The cathedral treasury is home of one of the most important collections of medieval European art, the site being a pilgrimage centre and home for Imperial coronations for over 500 years. As the name suggests, this building holds various artifacts from the cathedral ranging from reliquaries to triptychs to ceremonial accessories and also statues, ornamental jewellery and book covers. We probably spent 45 minutes inside and some of the art works, particularly the oil painted triptychs on oak were just awesome - every figure painted was an individual character and the detail and skill was just wonderful. Entrance was 10 Euros and it is the kind of place you can visit multiple times to just gaze in awe at human skill and ingenuity.

The Aachen Cathedral Treasury is one of Europe’s most important collections of medieval church art, reflecting over a millennium of devotion, craftsmanship, and history. Housed beside the UNESCO-listed Aachen Cathedral, the treasury preserves masterpieces from the time of Charlemagne through the Gothic era. Its highlights include precious reliquaries, exquisite liturgical vessels, and ornate manuscripts, many created to honor saints and safeguard relics central to medieval Christian worship. Among its treasures is the famous Bust of Charlemagne, symbolizing the emperor’s enduring legacy. Visitors can explore how faith, artistry, and imperial power intertwined in this remarkable collection, which remains a cornerstone of Aachen’s cultural and spiritual heritage.

The Aachen Cathedral Treasury is a breathtaking journey through over a millennium of history and faith. The collection is nothing short of awe-inspiring, holding some of the most significant religious artifacts in Europe, from dazzling reliquaries and ornate chalices to Charlemagne’s own relics. Each display is curated with care, offering detailed explanations that bring the pieces and the stories behind them to life. The craftsmanship of the medieval goldsmiths and artisans is simply mesmerizing, with intricate details that feel almost impossible for their time. Walking through the treasury feels like stepping into the pages of history, surrounded by treasures that have been preserved with remarkable dedication. Whether you are a history enthusiast, an art lover, or simply curious about the cultural legacy of Aachen, the treasury is an unforgettable highlight that pairs perfectly with a visit to the cathedral itself.

I can describe the treasury with one word “Incredible”. The place is a bit hidden, well not really, it is close to the cathedral, but it is not inside the cathedral like google maps says. It is on its surroundings. Look for the shop, in front of the shop there’s a ticket office, there you get your tickets (cash/card), right in front of the ticket office is the entrance to the treasury. If you arrive a bit over the closing hour, go quickly to the inner court or patio because it closes first. Take a quick look and then go to the treasury. The treasury is not that big, there’s the main floor which will take most of the time, it is about 6 rooms or so where you would find the main collection. Top floor has a bit more with some displays still being developed (at the time writing this review there were missing texts even in German), but I’d say is the half of the ground floor. The lower floor, like the basement consists of a big room with just a few things to see. I’d say the whole visit could take you 30 minutes to an hours. Depending on how interested you are, if you got an audio guide, and if you are doing a guided tour. Although not a long visit, I think it’s perfect. It goes right to the point, you see really incredible and unique treasure of the former Collegiate Church and current Cathedral of Aachen. If you go to Aachen this is a must. You truly can’t missed it and the price is also cheap, about €6 so no excuse.

Very interesting and well organised exhibition. There are some things written in English but not everything is translated, so I would suggest to improve that. Also, you have to leave your bags inside a locker (bring 1€ or 2€ coins as you need one of those to make it work; you’ll get it back), so bring your cellphone (pictures allowed), wallet and tissues with you. We took maybe 45 minutes here, before going to the Cathedral.

The best cathedral I have ever visited. It’s not a gigantic building but has a historical architecture. And I was impressed by the interior design. Its stained glass was amazing, delicately beautiful. Also its marble columns and mosaic murals were also remarkable.

You can almost miss the entrance, but if you leave the cathedral, walk away heading slightly right, past the toilet and 'gift' shop. Turn right at the corner. Walk up to the entrance on your right. You need to leave all your bags in a locker (€1 tunable refundable deposit), ppl under 21 are free. Really brilliant set of 'tresures' to view, plenty of info in English, but very interesting viewing regardless.

Decent museum. I enjoyed some parts of the exhibition. The staff was remarkably friendly.

Modern art museum located in a beautiful post industrial building, A great space inside, and the collections was very well laid out. Several top artists along with lesser known.

I liked the collection and the temporary exhibition. However, the guards are following you everywhere and don't take their eyes off of you for a second. You feel watched by Gestapo agents...

Varied collection of contemporary art, about a 20+ minute walk from the old city center.

The building deserves a few more exhibts,unless the size of the building housing just a few(looking at times a bit lost)is done on purpose.

Good exhibitions, super friendly people working there. Very fair price, pay by cash.

As with every museum, your experience will depend on whether the temporary exhibition is your thing or not. It's very spacious and the permanent collection is great - which is also subjective of course. This was our second visit and unfortunately half the museum was closed because a new exhibition was being set up, but entrance was only €6 so no complaints.

Pretty good museum, the building is also nice. the second floor is closed for renovations and you cannot see the art after the 1700’s. Don’t forget to check for student discounts. Staff were friendly and helpful too.

Ive been to many of these kinds of museums-the type that are housed in a mansion, they have a nice collection, usually spanning medieval art until the 20th Century (this museum spans a broader collection it must be said) but these types of museums usually don't have so many instantly recognisable names- there are normally no Rembrandts or Picassos and any guests without an art historical background can sometimes remain underwhelmed by this type of collection. But. What this museum does so well is lean into what is really interesting about their collection. The weird, the gossipy, the mysteries surrounding the objects that they have. Religious icons with moving body parts, tiny coffins with remains to carry in your pocket, artworks that were recycled from other artworks, incorrect claims written on the back of paintings, and of course, lots of beautiful pieces if you prefer conventionally lovely art. The standard of curation is excellent, it makes the collection very accessible for a wide range of people by drawing out what is special and interesting about it. If you are interested in the interior of mansions like me, I was super impressed by the building itself. It's beautifully restored with lovely decorative and colour choices. The staff were also very engaged and informative, something that usually reflects well on the management. For me it was also the perfect size, a leisurely 2 hour visit, more or less very comfortably depending on your schedule.

Great collection, not too big or small. They show it based on theme rather than time (although it is grouped by each 500 year period) which is a great fit for the size of the collection. I speak fluent German, but the guards are really not very nice. We were a bit on the later side of the day, but they kept asking if we knew they closed at 5. Of course we did, the person selling the ticket told us ! 😂 To be fair, the tickets were reduced in price (3 rather than 6 euros) due to some art pieces missing, which was nice.

Surprizingly large collection. Takes 2hours plus to see them all. I wish they focus on info in English more.

The museum is not that big, the staff hardly speaks any language other that German. No shop opened, no café. One sit available per floor. Having to ask for the use of lift and they did it with a lack of grace.

Aachen is a quite small city with limited things to do. And especially on sundays there is nothing to do since most of the cafes, shops, stores, supermarkets and services are closed. So we decided to visit this museum to kill some time. No one inside has hospitality or smiling faces. We didn’t mind their attitude but they kept bothering us. An officer warned my father that his hat can fly. He was just holding it in his hands. Then he put hat to his head. After this strange warning same guy approached us second time to ask us whether we have any questions. And then he couldn’t answer some random questions about the paintings due to his weak English. He came to us third time to insist showing a random piece of art. I don’t understand this behaviour but never experienced such bizarre conversations in any other museum in different cities. Maybe it is because we were two Turkish tourists in a German city. Apart from the attitude the museum doesn’t have a lot to offer. It has pretty generic items at first floor. Unfortunately I don’t have anything positive to say about here

Excellent gallery with focus on medieval/renaissance art brightened by contemporary artists.

Why I love it🎈🎉 Because it's one of only two surviving medieval city gates, built in the 14th century, it connects us directly to Aachen’s history. Since then, it has stood strong, a right-angled, three-storey fortress complete with portcullis, machicolations, and barbican—telltale signs of serious defense architecture. Today, it’s still alive, used by scout groups—so it isn’t just stone, but part of community life. Because it anchors the students’ quarter, it radiates quiet vibrancy and feels like the heart of this side of town. 🤏 Something tiny that you should know in advance ^^ And it lacks clear signage—history enthusiasts may feel lost unless they bring a guide or check their phone. And it’s minimal in comfort: no benches, café, or lighting—great for quiet reflection, less so for long visits. 🎙️ Real-life moments “When we walked under the arch, a local scout group was passing by—kids in uniforms, backpacks and all. It reminded me that this stone gate still breathes community.” “Pausing there, you imagine merchants and travelers filtering in centuries ago—this was their welcome gate.” 💡 Tips for your visit Go during golden hour—late afternoon light plays beautifully on sandstone and limestone. Bring your own context—a pocket guide or your phone unlocks stories about the portcullis, barbican, and moat. Combine it with a stroll—Pontstraße leads directly into the Altstadt; next stop: Elisenbrunnen, shops, cafés. 🎐✨️ Take away Summary: Ponttor doesn’t try to impress. It doesn’t sparkle—it whispers. For anyone who loves history mixed with everyday life, it’s perfect. No entry fee. No crowds. Just a gateway standing as Aachen’s medieval reminder—and still quietly relevant today. ⭐ Rating: 4.5★ Timeless architecture and living history > just a few missing info boards and seating. 📸 Should you go? Absolutely. Whether you're into medieval stones, scouting stories, or just want a peaceful pause before hitting cafés and boutiques—Ponttor’s got your vibe.

I drive by this pontor every day but this is the first time I check in here. Hope you guys enjoy Aachen!!!

I like historical spots; there is no much to do there but visiting the spot and taking some pictures; so, few minutes will be fine. But the Ponttor and also the Marschiertor are must see if you visit Aachen. Just, pass by and take some pictures. For me, the Ponttor was better, bigger area and with additional details, compared to the Marschiertor, though the Marschiertor is taller. The idea that these 2 gates are the remains of a once larger wall surrounding the city of Aachen and protecting it's occupants from raids and invasions, is just impressive!

One of the two remaining gates of the now gone city walls Aachen.

Not much to see here, however, it’s still a nice ancient gate for a cool photo. Also I wish i could get some written information to read more fun facts about this gate and educate my ignorant self a little 😊

If you are a fan of medieval architecture, this place is a must! It is a prime example of a city gate, one that you imagine while playing games or reading books. I saw it during a drizzle and really imagined myself being a peasant trying to sneak into the city past the guards and looking for the last coins to bribe them... If you are not fan of fiction, the gate will not fail to impress either.

Very nice and historical place, with many restaurants around

A historic building in the heart of Aachen, dating back to the 14th century. Its Gothic facade features statues of 50 kings, and inside, the Coronation Hall has murals about Charlemagne’s life. Visitors can also climb the Granus Tower for city views. The hall still functions as the city’s administrative center. A good spot to explore for those interested in history and architecture.

Our final stop was a quick visit to the Town Hall, Rathaus, an incredibly ornate 14th century Gothic building that incorporated some parts of Charlemagne's Palace and an earlier Roman building. There were weddings taking place while we visited but the rooms we saw were beautifully ornate and largely 19th century decoration. There were great views across to the cathedral and replicas of the Imperial German Regalia that are currently held in Vienna, including the Holy Lance, allegedly the spear of Longinus that was used to stab Jesus. We also watched archive footage of the results of Allied bombing in WW2 and the subsequent siege of the city until the Americans liberated it in 1944. I can imagine the restoration work was stupendous and the cathedral still bears the scars of war today. There is an information board in each room that includes a section in English. I'd allow 30 minutes for the visit and entry was 10 Euros.

The City Hall looks great from the outside, but I'm just going to talk about the huge sand arena in place for the summer. It's brilliant and such a great resource to have in a city centre. I wish more cities would do this. The kids loved it and we came back a second day.

Building looks good, but entrance fee is not worth it. Four plain square rooms to see downstairs which look fine but aren’t particularly interesting, and a small glass display of replica Crown Jewels upstairs.

Aachen Town Hall one of the most iconic and historical rich buildings in Aachen. Located in the heart of the city, it is not only a center of civic administration but also a symbol of imperial and political history. It's a must-visit for history buffs, architecture lovers, and curious travelers. It was originally built in the 14th century, with major renovations in the 16th wnd 19th centuries. One of the most famous features of the Rathaus is its Renaissance facade, built in 1625-1632. It features 14 standstone reliefs depicting Holy Roman Emperors, starting with Charlemagne. Severely damaged during WW2, the Rathaus was carefully rebuilt between 1949 and 1953, preserving its original architecture elements. The Coronation Facade was dismantled and stored during the war to protect it from bomb damage- a remarkable effort in cultural preservation. Still functions as the seat of local government and city administration. Hosts the Aachen Peace Prize. Have a good time in Aachen!

The city hall Aachen is the heart of the city. You can find "Rathaus Aachen", historical church of Aachen "Aachener Dom", and many restaurants, cafes and ice-cream shops, you can sit outside and enjoy the view. You are close to the shopping street of the city where you can find almost all fashion brands. You are close also to many hotels. You can easily take the bus from either "elisenbrunnen" or "Aachen bushof" to anywhere you want even to the Netherlands 🇳🇱 or Belgium 🇧🇪.

The City Hall is really pretty with a very historical exterior. If you visit Aachen, you will have to go there anyway. The bug hall in front is such a beautiful place to admire, especially on a sunny day.

Okay. This will be a hard review... we went to La Becasse after hearing many positive recommendations from some colleagues. A special occasion, so why not? 🤔 We tried the evening menu. The staff was tremendously kind and gave us a warm welcome. All was well up to this point. 😊 The food was great. We tried a three and four course menu since I wanted to try the oysters, which were offered as a starter. I will leave the oysters aside for the moment. 🦪 The soup we selected as a starter was amazing, with mini mushrooms and a mix of Asian flavors. And so was the main dish: a fish with a beurre blanc sauce and yuzu delighted us. 😋 The selection of cheese 🧀 as dessert was a dream. Up to 20 different types of cheese together. Maybe it was the occasion, an unfortunate situation, or just bad luck, but the oysters sent us to the hospital two days later. 🤢🏥 Yes, this is a risk of eating oysters, which I accept, although I have tried them in many other places without major concerns. Because of this experience, I need to take one star off. ⭐⭐⭐️⭐ Maybe next time we will have better luck. 🤞 #OysterExperience

Great fine dining experience with a lot of details. One of two Michelin star restaurants in Aachen.

6 course dinner. Food, service and atmosphere all on point. Great sommelier too. Mashed potatoes sound like a simple thing but here they execute it to perfection. You can go to two and three star places too but you'll rarely have the all-in experience you can have here. Mind blowing!

Everything around food was absolutely delicious. They are a fine gourmet diner. Everything about the food and kitchen is excellent. I would recommend to get a vegetarian menu by itself. The service was great , friendly but not outstanding for a michelin restaurant. They can improve with matching wine and serving plates at the same time and with letting you know what your eating. (Slower and correct explanation) it becomes only 3 stars for the atmosphere because the decoration is really old school and even a bit cheesy. The windows with the seahorses and the images with a huge haven and james bond could use a little 2025 remake !

At the level of it's one 🌟 Michelin! Careful service and precise recommendation. The wines (in glass) were fitting perfectly. Product of high quality, exact cooking and breathtaking presentations. Not cheap of course, but the price of excellence I suppose!

Thank you so much!!

Apple pie dessert was the highlight!! Love it!

Lovely, cosy local restaurant, which seems to attract a lot of the locals as well, more so than travellers, which is usually a great sign, meaning that the food is authentic. The schnitzels here were fantastic, good size, great batter and both the pepper and mushroom sauce were super flavourful, of course accompanied by some locals beers this was a real treat. Lovely staff as well!

Great food, service and atmosphere! They led us to the back of the restaurant, a paved garden with gorgeous gazebos and fairy lights as the sun began to set. Had the garlic escargots, schnitzel with pepper sauce, turkey breast with mushroom sauce (super flexible as that should have been with a mustard sauce), potatoes cooked to perfection and a fresh season salad. The wines recommended were excellent. Definitely a lovely spot to dine, in this charming German town! :)

We visited Am Kipp yesterday with my mom and sister, and we were absolutely blown away! The food was incredible – we had schnitzel with pepper sauce and a fresh salad, perfectly cooked and full of flavor. Portions were generous, and we left with happy, full stomachs. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere was lively and cheerful – yes, it’s a bit loud, but that’s part of the charm. Definitely make a reservation, as the place is usually packed. And the draft beer was just perfect! We’ll definitely be coming back.

Very lively place, with lots of people. Food is great and feels homely. Portion is generous for its price. Overall, it’s an enjoyable experience!

We were so lucky! They were fully booked , but as they saw we'd walked so far to get there they found us a table . I know why it's fully booked !!! Food is delicious 😋

The ambient was super cozy and dog friendly, the service was impeccable and the schnitzels were amazing! Everything was really, really good. If you’re around Aachen, I highly recommend it! Also, ask for the Crème Brûlée and thank me later.

Little old gem in Aachen! The food is amazing and the atmosphere smells like a traditional old beerhall. The food is delicious and portions are good enough. You can’t go wrong with this place. The owners are so friendly even more like a family. Definitely recommend place 👌🏻

One of the best food experiences in my entire life! Originally ordered without desert but decided otherwise over the Wagyu and asked for the full set - was no problem and one of the best decisions ever :D Wine pairing strongly recommended! Come here to be amazed and entertained - it's both artistic, mid altering and just plain great food filled with love and happiness

One of the best dinners I had. The chef knows how to accentuate the taste of the main component of each individual dish in a rarely seen manner. Pure and straightforward without losing complexity. Chapeau

I go usually for lunch. I have tried the star dinner. Great experience.

The place is amazing, cozy and feels like family with a surprising menu Everything here is really delicious and tasty. We were supposed to get 5 a course menu and at the end got morr than expected I really recommend this place! It's a great experience

The staff was super kind and the food was wonderful. Eating outside was great with the kids and enjoyed the background of the beautiful village.

This is an incredible experience of food! ⭐ Served by warm welcoming waiters it's a fantastic lunch. Not many options are offered, which makes the food even more tasty and an explosion of flavours. 🍲 You'll have the most regional food and drinks of the specific season. However, be aware of the prices before you book the table. Heavily damaged by the floods it's currently building up again.

Very tasty food and good prices. We tasted soups(Thai, Kha, Miso), Sushi.

Loved their ambiance. They have a very pretty open place in their back. Their smoking zone is a bit on the corner, so the smoke does not bother. Moreover their stuffs were very nice and friendly. have ordered quite a few items, some were brilliant, and some of them had average taste. For the starter we had, spinach salad: it was good, it has a peanut sauce dreesing, which was blended really nice with spinach. Dim Sum: I loved this one. Highly recommend 🤌 pad thai noodles: did not like it that much. Taste was a little bland I will not recommend this particular dish. Lost monk: This one was a platter of flavor. This dish has a good portion of proteinprawn, beef, chicken, and mashroom with lots of vegetables. But this one is a little spicy. As i love spicy, I highly recommend this one. Best friend curry: This one was a wholesome dish. 3/4 types of fish, cooked in coconut milk. Swet and sloght tangy taste. Also, I recommend this one. Except for the pad thai, i loved all other items, and i will, of course, visit again ❤️

I've been here a bunch of times and the sushi dishes have always been very tasty. My favourites would be the Mango Maki and Spicy Salmon Inside Out Roll. The ambience and the service is great as well. I would definitely recommend!

This is one of the best sushi places you will ever find. And I mean like worldwide, including Japan. This is place offers special dishes like Best Friend's rolls and Fried Inside outs, which you will miss everywhere else you go. Price/value wise, you will not find anything comparable, unless you are looking for a cheap-quality rolling sushi buffet, which this place is definitely not. For those who don't like sushi or raw stuff, there is also a pletora of awesome cooked dishes like curries, the classical Lost Monk, or Sara Sake salmon with teriyaki sauce. Enjoy your meal!

Delicious sushi and great service! Highly recommend!

The place is amazing and it offers wide variety of japanese cuisines. Food was fresh and delicious!! The yakitori skewers and the vegetarian buddha plate is highly recommended. I am so happy to visit it and though I came to Aachen for a short period, I am definitely gonna visit best friends again before I leave the city;)

we’ve been there twice and have been waiting for over 30 minutes to get a waitress coming to the table, there’s little option for vegetarians and it’s quite crowded and noisy in there. Location in the city is good though. Sushi lovers seem to like it, other options are soups, fried rice and noodles soso taste Food is too salty and fatty

It's a fast food place with typical sausages from Germany. The idea is cool and the result is good also. The place, when the weather is not nice to use the terrace is not especially big and you will need to wait for a table to get free. The staff sometimes don't speak perfect English but enough to help you with any doubts you can have about the food. So, in short, a good option for a tourist stop, rest and recharge batteries.

We really enjoyed our visit! The sausages were delicious especially the blood sausages, which were full of flavor and perfectly cooked. Portions were generous and satisfying. The place has a great vibe, with a laid-back. Self-service setup that works well. Even the toilet was clean and thoughtfully maintained….always a nice surprise. All in all, a great spot. We’d love to come back!

The staff were so friendly. They were so welcoming in answering our questions. Food was soooo good that we went back the next day, even when we just stayed in Aachen for 24 hrs..

If you’re looking for authentic German sausages, Hanswurst in Aachen is a must-visit! The original recipe sausages are incredibly delicious – juicy, full of flavor, and grilled to perfection. The prices are very reasonable for the quality you get, making it absolutely worth it. Don’t miss out on their award-winning beer either – it’s smooth, refreshing, and pairs perfectly with the food. A great place for a hearty and satisfying meal in the heart of Aachen!

Friendly service, great food, beer and some souvenirs for a fair price. Really enjoyed the food and atmosphere.

Great atmosphere and service, with diy tray at the counter. I would say 4 stars because portions are on the small side, but the taste is unique

Great place for German sausages. Love the sauerkraut as s side which came in a large portion. Staff very friendly and welcoming even i dont speak German.

Location is very close to Rathaus, a place with constant circulation, reservations may be needed on saturday. we tried fatteh, schish tawook menu,falafel and schwarma. schish tawook was normal but we liked the other theee a lot. prices were also very reasonable for these flavors. it is a place we will go again.

This is one of the busiest and budget friendly restaurants very close to Aachener dom(cathedral). The restaurant is continuously buzzing with takeaways where people are standing in long lines to get their orders. I dined in this great restaurant. The location is great with its proximity to the cathedral and the prime location in the old town area. You will definitely be surprised after seeing the menu and the prices given the location of the restaurant. The food was served hot and quick. The service was also really fast given the number of takeaway orders being processed. The dishes were also authentic Lebanese cuisine and one cannot complain about the taste. I had fagita veggie and falafel menu. Both of the dishes were really delicious. For drinks, fresh pressed orange juice is strongly recommended. I would definitely recommend the restaurant if you are in aachen and visiting the cathedral or strolling around the old town. It is accessible by public transport and is difficult to find parking given the area and it is a pedestrian zone. Happy eating🤤

I recently visited a Lebanese restaurant in Aachen, Germany, and despite it being quite busy, the sandwiches were absolutely delicious. I highly recommend this place to everyone. The atmosphere is authentically Arabic, complemented by traditional Arabic music, creating a truly enjoyable dining experience.

I highlight the grilled lamb (kebab), very tasty and well done, also the selection of beer was one of my favourite in German, but the sauces and dips… we expected better quality, too much liquid and samosas, fries and rolls too greasy. Nice place to go for Lebanese food but average quality. Acceptable price.

We ordered knefe and we were very disappointed. It could be anything but Knefe 😅. I would not serve this to even my enemy. This is my third time here and only once I found the Falfal good, thier shawrma and grill are not good. But again, THIS IS NOT KNEFE!!!

Nice food , you get a lot and it is not expensive, the drinks are served in a glass that was a negative point

Probably one of the best Lebanese food places in Aachen. The food tastes great and the grilled vegetables in the sandwiches is awesome - a highly recommended spot. The place is a bit cramped and have outgrown their popularity. There's recently new space next-door but the ordering area is still way too narrow. two stars down for asking for tips on the card processing machine

Very good quality food for the price and cool 80s American diner style interior. Service was alright but not great for a big group of people. Overall experience was amazing.

Nice vintage American Diner style burger place. Very tasty, I’ve missed the cheddar cheese, soft buns, a bit grease maybe, good prices and many different options. Good variety of sides, food and drinks. Not need for booking (more crowded during the weekend) Fast wifi available, cash or card payments.

Absolutely amazing food and atmosphere. Staff very nice and welcoming every time we go there. 11/10

Very nice place. Original burgers. Prices are very correct and the team very carefull with their customers

In my opinion the best burger place in Aachen. The place gives you 50' American Diner vibes and it suits very well with the food. Also I love the cars in the wall. Food quality is very good and the portions as well. They also have Vegetarian friendly menus. This time got Sancho Pancho burger and I recommend it. For side, wedges I think is the best option. Highly recommend !!!

A must try. More than once. We visited this place in mid week to have lunch. The place was not croudy. Atmosphere is really nice, the theme is automotive 1960 70 like, boxing era. Something really nice and intersting. Then came the burgers: the bun is top, the patty is amazing, the added ingredients combination is awesome. You have the option to build your own burger. I tried a pulled pork burger and the international one. Both have distinct flavors, you can easly taste evrythi g in the burger. Not too much sauce, not too much cheese. Everything was well done and well assembled. The servixe was remarkably fast. I would only suggest to add more beer variations. No pkayground for kids, houwever the place seems kids friendly.

We had two super nice burgers, international and sancho pancho with some local beers. They offer a lot of variety options! Nice crispy fries (we had curly and french fries). The decor inside looks great! Would definitely recommend.

A visit after some time veryfied a constantly high standard. A great evening with perfect food and a personal and courtous service in a great ambience. It's always a great pleasure to be here. My recommendation is the Zabaione Speciale. You just can't go wrong with it.

The menu was a little bit dated, for example, penne salmon and vodka is a dish from the 1980s... but I liked what I tasted! I had Penne with gorgonzola and dried tomatoes, a Tartufo Averna and a small beer. I appreciated everything and the bill, 20.50 € in total, was absolutely fair. A mention on the dining room staff who were kind, professional, attentive… really flawless! Highly recommended!

The best Italian I've ever been to. Wow. We took another main dish, just because it was so good. Thank you to the chef!

Wonderful place, friendly people and grrrreat food. 100% recommend

Close 10pm, arrive 9:20 no entry. Arrive earlier to be safe

The food was fine, good quality for what you pay. However, a hair was in my food so I kindly told the waitress. She took the pasta back to the kitchen. Eventually she came back with the same plate of pasta and the hair separate on a little plate. She told me that the hair could not be from their own kitchen staff, so it must be mine. Mind you, I don't even have brown curls. I thought this was very weird but I just said: oh okay, it must be mine then. After that, the whole vibe changed. We were neglected the rest of the night, even though it is such a small restaurant. Furthermore, we ordered tiramisu for dessert. They told us they were out of that for the night so we ordered something different. Later we saw a couple order dessert and guess what: they did get to order tiramisu? I don't know why we were treated like this, as we were kind and this restaurant has so many good reviews.

Wonderful food and atmosphere! I really recommend it!

Service and atmosphere is nice but the burger was the worst I have ever had in my life. Went with 4 people and three of us ordered the ash tower consisting of multiple patties. Every patty was cooked differently. So my order consisted of 3 burgers all cooked differently. Due to the lights we couldn’t see it immediately and since it was already late we didn’t ask for new burgers but got one soft drink for free instead when we showed them how bad they cooked the burgers.

It fit the bill for a lunch with colleagues. Super close to the Confex venue. Had to try the ‘on the bone’ beef rib burger. The meat was cooked to perfection but it had been left a little too long before serving. Same goes for the sweet potato fries. Ambience was good, art work is a little weird for my taste, mine would sit better on the walls but overall would recommend if you’re in the area looking for grilled meat. (There are also some options for vegans too)

Great place for brunch (on Sundays) or lunch. Prime quality food and attentive staff. The restaurant is not only well decorated but also spotless. Strongly recommended!!

We love to come here when we have things to do in Aachen. Food is awesome and I even asked for ice coffee, even though it’s not in the menu.

They don't have a good delivery schedule so if you're unlucky, you won't find the dish previously wished for. In my case 3 of my choices didn't exist for that important day of Chinese new year, so I tried the expensive combo. Sadly it tasted none better than one cooked at home, not appreciated when paid 75€ if remembered correctly. Spare ribs are easy to make, so they did well.

When we arrived we are asked to seat in the bar while waiting for our seat. Then the staff came and brought us to our table. The distance between tables are excellent… The staff took our order and it was a good service. We order starters to share i got the aged T-bone steak… it was good but the knife is not sharp enough that i have a hard time slicing the steak 😔. But the steak is well seasoned Great service !!!

A little pricy, but a cozy place to indulge yourself into that earthy smoky juicy ribs. Sometimes the ribs are perfectly grilled, another times are just black and burnt😔 Wish that there's a quality control.

Well structured and purpose-driven airport for short and mid-to-long range flights. I have had the possibility to easily go through security with no wait time and the gates information are clear enough for frequent fliers. Food shops could improve in price/quality combination but overall positive feedback!

The Duesseldorf airport was easy to access, whether by bus or train, which made the journey very convenient. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout. The airport itself is medium-sized, not too big to get lost in, but not too small either. It had everything I needed without being overwhelming. Overall, a smooth and pleasant experience.

Düsseldorf airport is actually pretty well structured. Security was smooth and quick, barely any waiting time, which was a relief. What could be better though – the prices in the shops felt a bit much. I know it’s common in airports, but still, could be more reasonable. And the main issue for me was the chaos at the departure area. People were just stopping anywhere, no clear flow or control – that part definitely needs improvement.

Not sure how this airport intends to compete or even attract more travelers.. upon arrival the baggage takes hours, it’s as if if this big A380 arrived unexpectedly on time! And then upon leaving the lines for security expand all the way to the check in counters. This has been happening several times.. Düsseldorf get your act together you do represent the country…I still like how compact this airport is though

The airport is fairly new but not a huge hub like Frankfurt. Layout is modern and spacious. It's fairly clean though less towards the railway station. I was annoyed as I had to use stairs twice to go to the restroom while other airports have it on the same level. The coffee and food option at arrival is minimal and underwhelming. Staff is trying and it's just about enough for a breakfast bite but nothing more.

I recently spent time at Düsseldorf Airport and had such a smooth travel experience that I’d fully recommend it to anyone flying through. From the moment I arrived, everything felt intuitive and well-organized. Navigation between Terminals A, B, and C is seamless: signs are clear, walkways are direct, and even crossing between terminals is simple thanks to elevated corridors. Once through security, it’s easy to move between gates without confusion. Security and check-in moved fast. Despite moderate traffic, lines rarely felt long and staff generally operated efficiently. Afterward, there’s no shortage of food and shopping: from kiosks and cafés to duty‑free stores and even a small supermarket in the arrivals level—plenty of variety to suit business or leisure needs. The design is modern and clean. Seating areas are well spaced, charging stations are readily available, and free Wi‑Fi works reliably throughout. As a bonus for plane enthusiasts, there’s a visitor terrace where you can watch landings and takeoffs—simple yet enjoyable, with great views across the apron. Lounges add real value if you have the opportunity to access them. I spent time in the Open Sky Lounge in Pier C—it’s bright, calm, and recently refreshed. There’s a decent buffet, complimentary drinks, quiet zones, and showers if you want to freshen up before boarding. For travelers in Pier B, the Hugo Junkers Lounge delivers solid food offerings and an apron-facing ventilation-filled interior. Transport connections are a highlight. There are two rail stations: the S‑bahn at the terminal for regional connections and the main station a short ride away via the SkyTrain offering intercity and ICE trains. The SkyTrain is automatic and fast—handy if you’re heading into Düsseldorf or onward in Germany. Taxi and rideshare pickup zones are next to the terminal exit; just be mindful that airport-to-city-center fares can sometimes feel higher than expected if unpaid extra charges pop up—using an app‑based service helps avoid that. Overall, Düsseldorf Airport feels efficient, modern, and thoughtful. It recently won “Best Regional Airport in Europe” at the Skytrax World Airport Awards—a well-deserved recognition in my opinion. My experience felt stress-free from bag drop to boarding, with helpful staff, good amenities, reliable Wi‑Fi, and easy transfer options. If you need a regional hub in Europe that runs like clockwork and offers both functional and comfortable services, Düsseldorf Airport delivers.

A modern airport with easy access to the city. The SkyTrain monorail connects the terminals to the main train station quickly. The station is clean but bathrooms can get busy sometimes. Overall, a convenient airport for travel in the region.

Weezer Airport is located near the border of Germany and Kingdom of Netherland (Holland), but it's known as Dusseldorf Weeze Airport, which quite confusing. It's mainly being used by small and middle size European airlines such as Ryanair, Eutowings etc. The good thing is most of the times you won't get stuck on the security checks. Staff and police officers are polite and respectful, however you will always experience hours of delayed arrivals and departures. This particularly the case with Ryanair which is the worse and completely destroy your plans and joy of traveling.

Too much security control, I have visited 15-16 countries almost more then the same number of airports, but security wasn't this bad, check passport and visa 4 times. No online boarding pass, paper boarding pass looks like they want to save money. The only good thing was not the big queue but the airport is outside the main city for like more than an hour. The passport check could believe I looked at the photo so asked me to smile as a pose. Too much hassle. Only a fair price to pay for the Paphos, Cyprus.

Even if in 10 other airports you don't have to use plastic bag for bottles in hand luggage or show your passport, here you have to do it according to all rules. Germans😅

Small and efficient airport. I had an 11am flight to Spain, there were no other flights at that time and I was able to get through security and reach my gate in less than 20 minutes (hand luggage only). Security was thorough but very friendly and fun. Food options are expensive and very limited, especially for vegans. Some designated charging stations, but not many. Over all a very nice, cheap and simple alternative to the bigger airports.

Its quick, for sure. No doubt about that. But they prices are like you are in Heathrow and with the liquids they where quiet picky. Suddenly the 1000ml rule did not apply but the “have everything smaller than 100ml in one little tiny plastic bag and what fits passes, the rest got to stay”. Even when asking the guy couldn’t explain. Curiously, they are selling everything you might leave behind: toothpaste, brush, make up, desodorante, right behind the security check for triple price … Now, is that a coincidence? 😉

Security was nice, airport itself is clean and looks good. On the way back bus driver charged us double the normal fee and when I confronted him he replied with "because when you are driving with me it's this fee." Would recommend taking an Uber from the airport if you parked nearby. About the same price.

Location is very impractical and can end up costing more to get a train from here than a better airport anyway. Etc. There are no shops nearby and it's not a good place to be overnight if you need to eat and drink affordably. But the quality of the place is fine and it's a calm atmosphere. It's also easy to understand compared to a larger airport...

Building is in progress but ok overall, toilets are in nice condition but during checking employees are rude, disrespectful and highly unprofessional, they don't seem to want to do this line of work and it clearly shows, not the first time I'm experienced this but this time I felt the need to write it. Finally it would nice if flights leave in time and the control tower manage things better as delays are kinda the normal 10-20 mins delay is normal.

Both men’s restrooms were closed today (Oct 14, 2025) for cleaning between 7am and 7:45 (still closed.) First I tried the one before security, ground floor, by the main entrance and - closed for cleaning; same with the one after security. Not for a few min but for quite a while!! This is not ideal. Lucky for me, I found a potted plant in which to take a 💩. Just kidding, I did not do that, but this is abuse. Of course, nobody cares (some even cheer it) if men are the victims of abuse.

The worst airport in the universe. Completely understaffed and nothing is working. Hundreds of people lost our flights because the checkin baggage robots went out of order one by one. There was just one person for 15-16 machine that were going out of order every few minutes. Nobody cared about the people having delay because of their crappy machines to give them priority in the control.

Compact but convenient airport, especially with so many cheap flights across Europe — definitely a reason to choose it. They have self check-in desks, which are handy, though queues can get quite long for each of them. Parking around the airport is fairly priced, which is another plus. Security lines are generally okay, but if your luggage needs detailed checks, it can be a bit slow. The duty-free area is small, but there are enough seating areas inside (though a few more would help). I personally like being able to walk to the plane instead of taking a bus — even though the traffic is a bit chaotic outside, it still feels faster. Luggage drop can sometimes take longer than expected. Overall, I’d recommend this airport mainly for short-distance or cabin-only trips.

A positive experience. Staff were friendly, it was easy going through passport control and it has lots of cafes and shops. No problems whatsoever.

This is likely one of the best small Airports in Europe, the building really is small. The queues for scanning took quite some time and they could do with an expansion in that regard. However, it has a self-service baggage drop-off which was a first for me at any airport, I really felt like the future was here. The need to walk all the way to the plain in unpleasant weather was not great, a bus shuttle system would have made this much better. All in all, a good experience for the size of the airport.

The airport itself is fine. The security control is pretty fast, you can reach the gates quickly, due to the small dimensions of the airport. The staff is polite and helpful. There’s quite enough space where to sit and wait for the flights, toilets are quietly clean. The biggest problem is the lack of good restaurants and cafes at the gates. The prices are too high and the variety and quality of food is bad.
