Solo travel

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.

Aachen is a city at the border of Belgium and The Netherlands. I personally never had any issues even though I like going out late. The only concern is that there’re a lot of homeless people and drug addicted people on the streets. It depends on where you go.
