Aachen

The city of Aachen is historically extremely rich, but even though it is still trendy.

This feel and mixture must be because of a large student population – students alone represent 20% of all the people living in Aachen.

Aachen is a place that I would often stay in when coming and through the continent.

Aachen is so rich in history.
