Send Flowers to Aachen, Germany

Aachen is the westernmost city in Germany, sitting where the country meets Belgium and the Netherlands, and locals shop, study and commute across both borders. Charlemagne made it his residence, and the cathedral he began was among the first sites in the world to be placed on the World Heritage list. Warm sulphur springs feed the spa quarter of Burtscheid, and bakeries sell Printen, the spiced local gingerbread, all year.

Today the city is dominated by RWTH Aachen University, one of the leading technical universities in Europe, whose students and researchers arrive from every continent, and by its enormous university hospital on the western edge. Flowers travel to student flats in the Pontviertel and Frankenberger Viertel, to family homes in Laurensberg, Brand and Kornelimünster, and to laboratories and clinics. Flower delivery in Aachen is next-day, Monday to Saturday, for orders placed before midnight German time. Sundays are excluded. As in Cologne, Carnival is a major event in February or early March.
