Motorhome hire in Aachen

Hiring a motorhome in Aachen gives you the chance to experience the history, culture and charm of this imperial city on the western edge of North Rhine-Westphalia. Aachen’s historic city centre is an architectural paradise where you can marvel at many buildings, like the imposing Aachen Cathedral, Germany’s first UNESCO World Heritage Site. While the narrow streets of the Old Town encourage you to explore and find the best places to sample the city’s famous Aachen Printen. You can even enjoy a view from above if you feel up to climbing Lousberg, the highest hill in Aachen, while the tri-border area offers impressive views across Germany, the Netherlands and Belgium, as well as a labyrinth which promises fun for all the family. For a more relaxing stay, discover the city’s historic roots as a spa town and experience the hot springs at the Carolus Spa. But it doesn’t stop there, as with campervan hire in Aachen, you are within a short drive of the High Fens-Eifel Nature Park or can explore Belgium or the Netherlands.

Aachen is a great city to visit, no matter what time of year you visit. The summer months offer the best weather and a range of festivals and events, from the colourful carnival in spring to the famous CHIO Aachen, a prestigious equestrian event, and WineSummer through the summer months.

Parking in Aachen

There’s no need to worry about parking a motorhome in Aachen, as vehicles under 7.5 tonnes can park in any public space as long as you don’t block pavements or obstruct traffic. As a relatively small city, for stress-free travel, we recommend parking your campervan outside Aachen and using public transport or walking to get about.
Top parking recommendations include Bad Aachen (just outside the city) and Campingplatz Hoeve de Gastmolen (around 6km from the city), as both offer easy access to the city.
