Our disappointment in the Christmas markets of Belgium and the Netherlands had us itching to get into Germany, and Aachen, the westernmost city of Germany, was within 30 minutes of Maastricht. Charlemagne began construction of the Aachen Cathedral in 796 and is buried there. It wowed us with its mosaics. In 1978, the Aachen Cathedral was one of the first 12 items to be listed as a UNESCO world heritage site.
