01 Aachen Christmas Market

The Aachen Christmas Market is Germany’s nearest Christmas Market to the UK. Aachen’s brightly lit Christmas market is set around the cathedral and town hall. This lovingly decorated “Christmas village” on the market square has everything you need, with an enormous choice of original, stylish and precious goods. One local speciality we highly recommend is the Aachen Printen, a wonderful kind of gingerbread.
