🇩🇪 Aachen in One Day: Imperial Charm & Quirky Fun! ⏳✨

✅ CHECKED ALL THE HIGHLIGHTS! ⛪ Aachen Cathedral (UNESCO glory!) 🏛️ Cathedral Treasury (Charlemagne's bling 💎) 🏰 Town Hall & Market Square (Gothic spires + flower stalls 💐) ⛲ Elisenbrunnen & Garden (Perfect cathedral photo spot 📸) 🗿 Old Town Statues: Fish-Thief Boy 🎣 Chicken Snatcher 🐔 Money Cycle 💰 (So German!) Marionette Fountain 🤹 (Moves at set times!) 🇪🇺 3-Country Border (Hopped between Germany, Belgium, Netherlands in 5 mins! 🌍) 🎵 SURPRISE BONUS: Stumbled upon an epic street concert – live music + dancing crowds! 🎸🔥 👯♀️ BEST PART: Met an internet friend IRL for the first time! We: • Hiked to the tri-border marker (leg day achieved! 🦵) • Bonded over Printen gingerbread (yum!) • Now have a new travel buddy! 🥳 😤 ONLY FAILS: • €0 souvenir coin machine was broken (after that uphill climb! 😭) • Mountain-top ice cream = disappointing 🍦👎 (Stick to city-center gelato!) 🍽️ LOCAL EATS RECOMMEND: • Aachener Printen (spiced honey bread) • Poffertjes at Dutch border (mini pancakes!) #Aachen #GermanyTravel #DayTrip #EuropeBorder #NewFriends 🚶‍♀️💞
