How to get there
Aachen is in the far western parts of Germany close to the borders with The Netherlands and Belgium. Aachen is on major transportation routes making it easy to reach by road or train. Maastricht-Aachen Airport (MST) is the closest airport but several major airports, including Düsseldorf and Frankfurt, are within reasonable distance. High-speed ICE and TGV Thalys trains are available for fast direct trains to Köln/Cologne, Frankfurt, Brussels and Paris.
40km Maastricht Aachen Airport (MST)
80km Köln (Cologne)
80km Düsseldorf
260km Frankfurt am Main
We would suggest flying to Köln, Düsseldorf or Frankfurt, and then taking the train to Aachen. The train station in Aachen is a 2km taxi-ride away from the hotel.
