Well perhaps you're in Germany. At least you should be somewhere in
Europe. :) There are a few places near by that I suggest you try to arrive in: These places will get you close to Aachen, from there you may have to take
bus or a train. I highly suggest taking a bus if possible as it will put you
in the center of Aachen, where someone can meet you to help you to your place,
and you will not have to worry about the train system on your first arrival.
But read about each specific place, and how to get from there to Aachen.
It will be worth your time to think this far ahead, afterall you will have
plenty of time to do what you would like when you first arrive. Especially
if you arrive early like I did. There is a bus that goes directly from Düsseldorf and Aachen 12 times per
day, as well as the Train. I arrived from Düsseldorf, took the
bus, and was very pleased and happy to have done so. Go back to the Top.
Though Frankfurt is about 3 hours away by Train, it isn't all that bad.
I would suggest of course trying to get a train that goes directly to Köln
without changing trains. That in itself is about 2 hours. Köln is an hour
away from Aachen. Again by train. To my knowledge there is no bus available
from Frankfurt to Aachen. Check the transportation section for
more info about DeutscheBahn. Go back to the Top.
I don't know where the airport for Cologne is, but if it is anywhere close
to the train station you got it made. There is a train that leaves from
Cologne to Aachen every hour. Sure it makes stops but you don't have to
change trains, making train travel a blessing. However there IS a bus that
runs 4 times a day. Don't know the times for that either. Go back to the Top.
This one can be a straight train shot if you can get the right train.
Meaning in Brussels you get on the train, and next thing you know you've
arrived in Aachen some 3 hours later. Check out the train
schedule for Brussels to Aachen before you leave or even make your travel
plans. Happy traveling and arrive safe in Aachen. :) Best of luck. Go back to the Top.
