In the past week I feel like I have been all over Aachen, so I figured it was time to post some of my favorite sights from the past week. One of my favorites was definitely a few evenings ago when Arne and I sat on the roof of his apartment and overlooked the city at sunset. It's a pretty awesome view and I stitched a few photos to make a semi-presentable panorama of the city.
Another awesome view is the downtown area where the old cathedral and town hall are located. The town hall has various statues portraying Charlemagne and some really great architecture. I still have to get some shots of the cathedral (which inside is one of the most massive buildings I've ever seen) but the main square has a really beautiful fountain in front of the old throne entrance.
One of the best areas of the city is definitely Pontstrasse, the main dining and student area of Aachen. The best time is definitely noon and evening, especially on nice days. The following is a shot from near where I have language classes at the Humboldt-Haus.
