Nicknamed the "Museum of the New Town", the Charlemagne Center is located in the heart of the former Charlemagne neighborhood and presents the history of the city in a lively way to children and adults alike. This center is a great place for families with children, where visitors can immerse themselves in the Carolingian period by experiencing all kinds of Activities in the History Lab. The center's galleries provide a tour of Aachen's history from the Neolithic period to the present day, and its main focus is on the history of Charlemagne, without which the city would not have acquired its historical significance as a crowning city of the Middle Ages or as a place of European remembrance.
