The closest airports are Maastricht or Moenchengladbach but they have not
many international flights. The airports Duesseldorf and Cologne are about
1:30 hours away by train.
Brussels is two hours by train, but the flights
are usually a bit cheaper than in Germany.
The best way to get to Aachen from any airport (or from the Netherlands or other cities in Germany)
is by train. The central station of Aachen is located in the center of the city and all
hotels can easily be reached by taking a taxi which should cost about 10
DM.
Train schedules, also for international trains from Belgium or the
Netherlands, are available here.
If you fly to Duesseldorf, there is also an airport
express coach which will take you directly to Aachen.
The schedules are available
here. Ask at the information desk of the airport for directions
to the stop of the airport express coach.
If you want to save some money and use public
transportation instead of taxis you can look up the bus schedules here.
