The treasures are quite nice, let me get that out of the way. The problem I have with it is the museum. It's 5 euros to get in. When you get in there's no guide, and the only thing on the wall is name of what it is, not why it's important or any history about it. The real bad... More

I photographed almost every item in this museum. If you ever took a Western Civilization course in college, this is where they found the illustrations.

If you are around the Cathedral, this is a cool place to visit. Nice exhibition but unfortunately guided tours in English are only once a day at 14. They do provide audio guides but I have never liked them. So the visit was quite short but interesting.

The Schatzkammer (treasure) of the Cathedral can be reached through a separate entrance. Fee was 5 Euro. Plan for about 45 minutes-1h. Most impressive are the richly ornamented reliquaries and some of the clothing. When we visited there was a juxtaposed exhibition that mixed the 500-1000 year old artifacts with modern art.

Worth the time and money to see the treasures. Lot of reliquaries, 60 minutes is plenty of time. If you come to Aachen, you might as well see it.

Aachen is a lovely town, especially when exploring the city on a Sunday, when shops are normally closed and it is less busy. Perfect day to explore the city and its treasures, including this one.

A beautifull building, filled with wonderful relics etc. Such a shame that Aachen was a victim of the war. One wonders how much more history would be still standing if not for that terrible conflict.

Something that you have to do if you're in Aachen. There are lots of masterpiece to see in here. Charles the Great come he for Christmas on 768 and he decided to have here his winter home.

The treasury has a lot of wonderful stuff - and the audio guide was very good. I love history, so I loved this attraction
