Centre Charlemagne

Really worth the visit! About one and a half hours is perfect. Lots of very interesting history starting at Roman times and working its way to present. Lots of interesting artifacts and paintings/photos to see. Entry very reasonable, only 6 €.

A small and modern museum where you can see the history of Aachen chronologically. It's very well-designed both to preserve the artifacts and to help visitors examine them better. The entrance fee is 6 Euros.

Very interesting and interactive place. Great for families with kids.

An interesting city museum starting with the Romans to modern times. The focus is of course on Charlemagne. Who founded the city. His life and work is present everywhere in the city.
The museum offers changing exhibitions. Plan for 2 hours.r

We only had 45 minutes to devote to this museum before our train, but that worked. A nice collection of relics from the time and Romans. The mail shirt felt remarkably heavy.

Second time here:) new contributions and new inspirations 🤩 nice staff offer me special price for student under 21 🎈

The collection is rich and there are many modern imitations, detailing all aspects of the society during the Charlemagne period.

Small place but a good place to learn the history of Aachen. Friendly staff and comfortable waiting room.

Nice museum, pitty that lot of explanations are made only in German.

Great place to learn. Recommend it.
Tip: download the center's app using its WiFi so you can listen to the audio guides through your phone for free.

Very outstanding city museum! Good interactions with displays and user-friendly explanations. Also the items are enhibited in an artistic and attractive way.

History museum done right! Worth the 2h spent listening to the audio guides provided.

Small but fascinating museum full of the local history around Charlemagne and similar. Easy to get around with lifts for wheelchair users, and ample space to get around the exhibits. Helpful staff and good facilities, disabled toilet was also clean, well kept, and had plenty of space to get around to use it.

The museum is right next to the Cathedral, and there is a Weinachtsmarkt in the area in December so it may be busy. The ramp to access the wheelchair entrance is also built in to the steps, we had some difficulty going along here as a school trip (or similar group) were using the steps to pose for photos and sit for lunch/break.

Great place, very interesting to look around, for all ages. Free entry to ppl under 21. Lots of info in English, and other languages. Loads of the exhibits are interactive so you're not just reading a lot. Highly recommended, also the cafe is great for 'proper' food and the toilets are nice (and free!)

Another one of the "must visit" places in Aachen. Aachen was, a mayor city in the Holy Roman Empire, resting place of Charlemange, and crowning place for other emperors. Student disscount aveliable and the personell is really nice

A "must" visit place. Really worth it. Not to big, just the necessary. You get to know everything you need to know about Carlo Magno without getting tired of it.

Comprehensive presentation of the long and interesting history of Aachen. Friendly and helpful staff.

Super cool, although most of the collection is not the original pieces but rather some sort of copy, very interactive and even kid friendly at parts.

An outstanding museum. Exhibits well displayed and labeled. Displays of all kinds, with a variety of media from traditional to digital quite varied, but never gimmicky. Six euro tickets. Do not fail to pay the two extra euros for the audio guide. It adds a wealth of additional background and cultural context. Well explains the long shadow of Charlemagne's life and influence, but also the phoenix-like history of Aachen.

Nice info centre about Charlamagne and the city
