Tower ascent and visit to the throne

For the 30th time, the Aachen Cathedral Action Group (AAD) and the Honours Service are inviting visitors to climb the tower and view the throne parallel to the European Market. This year, visitors can climb the 184 steps in the western tower on 7 and 8 September and enjoy the view of the town hall and the old town. Those who wish can stop off at the royal throne, which can otherwise only be seen as part of a guided tour.

You can round off the breathtaking experience with a detour to the ‘Dom Café’, where the choirs of the Cathedral Music will be serving cakes, waffles and crêpes in the foyer of the Cathedral Singing School.
The organisers of the Honours Service and the Action Group would like to point out that all proceeds will go towards the restoration of the cathedral and the Cathedral Music Society.
