  • Seriously, take an umbrella, you'll thank me. It is raining there practically every day! It is often that annoying mist rain. I saw most people walking without umbrellas, it seemed like they were use to the rain and stopped fighting it! haha!

    Strange city. Dogs are not alowed to leave their droppings on the street, but the city guards ride their horses on the city center walkways.

    No wonder Napoleon called this town "Europe's toilet".

    Luckely Aachen knows 300 rainy days on average during a year.

  • Here's the deal, the dutch and german students can ride their bikes while intoxicated. I'm just gonna say Americans can't. Don't think you can, because you cannot! I thought I was clever enough to do so, I discovered i'm not clever and i'm a bit dumb. Within moments of getting on the bicycle I fell. Falling off a bike while intoxicated is inevidable and it will hurt a lot with lots of bruises! I promise! It might not hurt that night, but the next morning you'll feel like someone beat the crap out of you. But actually you kicked your own butt!

    Cobble streets and Flip Flops

  • Sure cobble streets are historic and beautiful, but they can be a mence! Imagine you've a few too many at the pub and you're walking back to your hotel or where ever you are staying. The cobble stone is uneven, character comes with imperfections. Don't wear sandels or flip flops! I stubbed my toe, big time! It broke the nail and gave me a huge blood blister! I suppose if you are walking back drunk, wear shoes that cover your entire foot! My foot was sore for 2 days and you have to take good care of your feet in these european walking cities and towns!

    the Homeless or drunks

  • Aachen has a few drunks and homeless around that will ask for money. The drunks are a little annoying because they can be close talkers. Usually i just said i didn't speak German and they didn't bother me. If I spoke better German I would have offered them a beer in return for general knowledge about Aachen. Homeless always know more about a city than the local residents, at least from my experience.
