Pontstraße road

Pontstraße accompanies you from the mighty Ponttor gate to the market square in front of the town hall. Kings used this road, which was part of the former royal route, as far back as the Middle Ages. Today, you can feel the pulse of the city here, as numerous cafés, bars and restaurants line the historic rows of houses. Between cobblestones and student hustle and bustle, a mixture of history and the present day emerges, shaping the character of the street. As you walk along Pontstraße, a part of Aachen opens up to you that does not hide its roots and is full of life at the same time.
