School Primary Languages trip to Aachen

The beautiful town of Aachen with its safe pedestrianised centre is ideal for primary groups studying German language. 

All year round your group will find lots of activities and things to see. The cathedral (UNESCO World Heritage site) and the Gothic town hall form the heart of the old quarter. Groups can take a tour of the town or visit a traditional “Kaffeestuben” for breakfast or lunch. At Christmas time Aachen is famous for its Christmas markets and definitely worth a visit. Make sure you don't leave Aachen without trying the famous Printen. These delicacies are distributed all over the world by Aachen bakeries; however in Aachen itself they are oven fresh and taste particularly delicious!
