I visited for an exhibition and to see the cathedral which is very ancient. Aachen is a beautiful town and very safe. I stayed centrally and it was an easy walk frim the station, and very easy to get everywhere on foot.

Aachen is small and university-centered small city, thus very quiet and safe. Although there are few areas to be cautious during night, it is ususlly safe to walk around alone even in the dark. Only be beware near Bushof and Rothe-Erde during night.

at the hbf area there might be drunk people but they are usually harmless. There are also night busses on the weekends till 2am Most crowded street is ponttor and there are always students on the streets, its a young city bushof is slightly less safe other than that its safe enough to come home alone after midnight as a woman
