Aachen, known as an “Europastadt” (City of Europe), is Germany’s westernmost major city where three nations with three languages converge. It is the centre of a dynamic, cross-border knowledge region and stands for
world-class university education in Natural Sciences and Engineering.

 

Aachen is famous for its Cathedral, the Town Hall and its many Spas. It serves as a big health resort for the region because of the geothermal springs, which are the hottest in continental Europe (74°C). Casanova, Peter the Great, Charlemagne and many other historical figures used to bath in Aachen, so for centuries it was known informally as the “Spa of Kings”.
