What is the best way to get to aachen from london?

Question

i need to travel out in the morning and return to london in the evening.

Answer 1

Düsseldorf a 45 min. trip with the train, or use a rental. Or fly to Maastrich(Belgium) but not sure if they have an airport?

But as I said Düsseldorf is your best bet.

Answer 2

the closest airport is from eindhoven to stansted, from maastricht there are only flights to berlin schönefeld. the flights would be with ryanair, and it is possible to do it in one day, check the ryanair site. i don't know if the aix-airport express exists still and if they go to eindhoven.

Answer 3

there is a airport just over the border in holland about 30km away, cant think of the name of it but they have flights from and to london, from the airport to aachen they have very good bus connections

Answer 4

Eurostar is your best bet - two-and-a-bit hours to Brussels, then change for a train to Aachen.  Since checking in time is only half-an-hour, and the train leaves from Waterloo, it will be way quicker than trying to fly.  (A h**l of a lot more comfortable, too.)

The wonderful site www.seat61.com will give you lots of information on how to do it, or you could try 'phoning the German railway's UK office direct: 08702 43 53 63.

Good luck!
