This border town has its own unique beauty.

Aachen is a small city on the border of Belgium 🇧🇪 and the Netherlands 🇳🇱 in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, with a significant position in German history. In 800 AD, Charlemagne, the king of the Frankish Kingdom and the Carolingian dynasty, was crowned emperor by the Pope in Rome, and his territory covered most of Western Europe at that time. He established the capital of the empire 🏰 in Aachen and began to build a palace 🏛️ and a church ⛪, which is the prototype of today's Aachen Cathedral (Aachener Dom). After the death of Charlemagne, he was also buried here. At the same time, Aachen Cathedral was also the coronation site of more than 600 years of German kings and emperors since 936. Therefore, countless historical and religious treasures are concentrated here, and it is also the first world cultural heritage site in Germany 1️⃣. Apart from that, Aachen also has the hottest hot springs in central Europe ♨, as well as the best technical university in Germany 🏬. Although small, Aachen is full of essence. Germany · Europe
