As a cultural hotspot located in the border triangle Germany-Belgium-Netherlands in the Eifel region the city is popular for its density of historical monuments. Especially the World Heritage Site Aachen Cathedral, where German kings were crowned and Charlemagne has found his final resting place. Other interesting must-sees are the treasure chamber, the historical Town Hall, the Elise fountain as well as Couvent Museum and the Casino of Aachen. The Kornelimünster district is the visual flagship of the city and also the starting point for the Eifel Hiking Trail to Trier. Aachen’s culinary delights are the Aachen Printe, "rice patties" and the super yummy sauerbraten. Night owls find their Mecca in Pont Street; spa lovers get a treat at Carolus’ thermal baths and nostalgic fans a glas of mulled wine at the Aachen Christmas market.
