Aachen Day Trip: Border-Hopping Adventure! 🇩🇪🚂

🚆 Journey Details Due to rail maintenance, took a scenic route: Nijmegen → Sittard → Aachen (2.5 hrs). 🎟️ Dutch weekend travel card covered everything! 📍 Pro Tips for Aachen 1️⃣ Aachen West Station = Best stop for: Aachen Cathedral (⚠️ Photo permits cost €1, and silence is golden!) RWTH University (Europe’s MIT!) 2️⃣ Chinese Food Heaven 🥢🔥: Yan Tasty·Fish (Seilgraben 39) - Must-try: Spicy Chicken (tastes like crispy KFC!) Yan Tasty (Templergraben 28) - Sister restaurant, equally delicious! 3️⃣ DM Drugstore 💄🛒: German skincare & vitamins at Dutch-crushing prices! 4️⃣ Supermarket Hack 🛍️: Kaufland (cheaper than NL, but not drastically).
