Beach near Aachen, Germany

Aachen Travel Guide

Germany

Aachen is a city of 265,208 people in western Germany, close to the country’s borders with Belgium and the Netherlands. It is an inland city rather than a coastal destination, so its appeal is urban and regional rather than beach-based.

Travellers arriving by air can use Aachen/Merzbruck Airport (AAH), which serves the city. There are no notable named beaches within 40 kilometres of Aachen, and reaching a coastline requires travelling beyond the immediate area.
