Life is a joy... grave faces elsewhere
With the coming of spring, temperatures rise and a lust for living swells up. Aachen irresistably draws people to its town squares. Any summer's evening on the market square in front of the town hall, you'll find many groups making music, singing and laughing on their way from cafe to cafe, bar to bar. The kind of gaiety normally found only in the Medi-terranean countries.
You'll keep coming back! Perhaps, for one of the many events that make every year a series of high points...from the many-sided Culture Festival in the summer to the colourful town feast, from the art market with artists and craftsmen to a flea market, from one of the Rhinelands's finest carnivals with its own character to the romantic Christmas market. Yes, there's lots for you to discover.
