A Fresh Perspective on Travel Every Day
After departing from Burg Eltz, our concluding destination on this road trip prior to our return to London was Aachen.
Aachen was selected by Charlemagne as his imperial residence at the onset of the 9th century. As the inaugural Holy Roman Emperor, his vision was to transform the city into a new Rome. For approximately 600 years, every Holy Roman Emperor was crowned in this city. Today, five centuries after the last coronation, Aachen still shines with the vestiges of those ceremonies.
