Travel from Brussels and spend a day discovering two of Germany’s most fascinating cities: Cologne and Aachen. Enjoy scenic views on the way before arriving in Cologne, home to one of Europe’s most famous Gothic cathedrals and a vibrant historic centre.

Take a guided walking tour through the old town, passing landmarks such as the cathedral, the Dom Square, Alter Markt, the Town Hall, and the colourful houses by the Rhine. Afterward, enjoy free time to explore local shops, have lunch, or relax by the river.

In the afternoon, continue to Aachen, a city full of imperial history and charm. Visit its UNESCO-listed cathedral and wander around the beautiful squares surrounded by medieval architecture.

There will be time to stroll through the historic streets, taste local specialities like the famous Printen cookies, or enjoy a drink on a terrace before returning to Brussels in the evening.
