The site of Aachen at the Three-Country Point Germany, Netherlands, Belgium makes the city an ideal starting-position for country-overlapping trips. The international flair is present everywhere. But not just the ambience of the city, but its past as well attracts each year many visitors. The Aachen Cathedral is an important witness of the history up to Charlemagne; townhall and the Elisenbrunnen are further sights of the city.

The youth hostel Aachen is an Euroregional guest house and a centre for encounter for people from all over the world. The lounge, the sun patio and the bright seminar rooms are meeting points for families, young travellers and international guests. Here they can recall the day with a coffee, plan the upcoming activities or build new friendships. The family day room with kid`s corner offers beside a cosy atmosphere also a lot of space with seating area, books, painting utensils, toys, a playing carpet with own “car pool“, TV-set, baby-bottle warmer and a baby change unit.
