Aachen Getting there & around

Getting there & away

The tiny Maastricht Aachen Airport (MAA; 0031-43-358 9898 in Holland; www.maa.nl), about 40km northwest of the city, is served once daily by easyJet from Berlin. Flights are met by the Airport Shuttle (per trip €10) with service to the centre.

Regional trains to Cologne (€12.50, one hour) run several times hourly, with some proceeding to Dortmund and other Ruhrgebiet cities. Trips to most cities south of Aachen require a change in Cologne.

For drivers, Aachen is easily reached via the A4 (east–west) from Cologne and the A44 (north–south) from Düsseldorf. The B57, B258 and B264 also meet here.
