Don’t forget to try and buy some Printen, when you’re there. Also, if you like chocolate, you can find a factory outlet by Lindt in Aachen (and some others for cookies and other sweets near Lindt, too).
When I was a kid I couldn’t resist eating out a whole package whenever we had printen. I guess the family wasn’t too happy with it. I’d probably still do the same to be honest.
Pro tip: Ask for Bruchware, Printenbruch or generally Bruch - you usually get a mixed bag of Printen that did break and/or have some minor defects (e.g. not perfectly covered in chocolate), etc. but are still fine to eat and have no difference in taste. They’re cheaper and if you’re going to eat a bag all by yourself anyways… :)
That also works for the other mentioned factory outlets. I just got a few kg of cookies from Balsen and a f-ton of chocolate from Lindt a few days ago.
Aachen, Germany
The city alone is always worth a visit and during christmas time it’s even better.

That’s a great tip! Thanks :)
This will be my first christmas since moving to Aachen, looking forward to it! Hope it’s not too crowded :)
It’s always been choc full when I visited.
Don’t enjoy the market so much, love the sauna complex though.
