  We had some spare time during our tour so we decided to visit this place as it was very close to our hotel. The dome has a great history. One should definitely see this dom. Its really worth

  I remained speachless. It is fundumental to visit it while in city of the kings, Aachen. The remarkable work on the walls inside of the Dom lets you breathless and asking yourself: how was possible such an admiring work of art? Who were those who perfectly combined, piece by piece, the mosaic on the walls and created such perfection? Who were the master-masons who constructed this beauty? It is one of the destination´s must-do. You will feel part of the history.

  Definitely have a look round the cathedral if you're visiting Aachen. Many areas are out-of-bounds without a tour guide, so book one in advance. We were there on a day it was closed all but for 2 hours, as the choir was practicing for a pageant for that evening. We could only stand to the rear, but the choir was still there singing when we visited. I did find the staff a bit pushing and rude. Still this is an amazing building, I came to this town to see the Charles, and was very impressed. The whole of down town was wonderful. And I found this city to be easy to navigate by car or foot.I do imagine the times near Christmas and Easter are limited, as the community is active in this church.Many good pubs are near by. A large brass band sang in the street in front of one just down the road from the Dom.

  One only needs 15-20minutes to see and appreciate this beautiful building. Very interesting to see the various architectural styles integrated over the years.

  This cathedral is gorgeous and so important in history as Charlemagne's place of coronation and governance. It has an eastern influence as exhibited in the beautiful mosaics. Don't miss this spot if you are in Aachen. There is a fee to take pictures but it's not much.

  Very beautiful cathedral. you can see it from the distance and you cannot fight the urge of getting closer and seeing this magnificent piece of art! Definitely have to visit it - there is a possibility of a guided tour.

  Truly the Cathedral of the Emperors & Kings. Suggest mid-week & arrive early, less crowded for photo opportunities. Look around, look up, even look down. Quietly visit the the side chapels. The chapel of the Blessed Sacrament is beautiful, Marvel @ the St. Nicholas Chapel (c-1350) In the main area take time to view the Pala d'Oro main alter c 1020, (center) Shrine of Charlemagne c. 1215, In back Tomb of Emperor Otto III & above all the Sunburst Madonna. Look down even the modern Cosmatesque floor of the Palatine Chapel area is attractive.

  Is the name in french for this former capital of french empire of CHARLEMAGNE.It has an octogon made from columns,because the construction of the catedral was inspired from BASILICA SAN VITALE from RAVENA,which was built by the ostrogot king THEODORIC.Charlemagne has seen basilica SAN VITALE during his longobard campaign.The catedral from AIX LA CHAPELLE hosts even Charlemagne's throne,which was built from stone taken from JERUSALEM.

  这。。。这就是个典型的不同时代造就的合体产物。融合了哥特，拜占庭，加上后期欧洲复兴的风格。不管从平面还是立面来看，都是各种合体。甚至从承载来看都不逊色，原是主教教堂，后发展为基督教。不过上次去的时候正好赶上做礼拜，下次进去看看吧。各种合体导致了它异常庞大的体格，不像单纯哥特式的瘦高，不像单纯拜占庭的低矮。典型的要海拔有海拔，要尺寸有尺寸，加之放在亚琛这个小而相对高密度的地儿，好像又有了当初罗马大帝拔弩叫嚣的气势。

  I have seen great Cathedrals: St Peters, Notre Dame, Saint Chappelle, Cologne Cathedral,Salzberg among many but Dom Aachen worth the trip.
