Be aware of the low emission zone when traveling by coach - only low-emission vehicles with a green sticker or exemption permit are allowed to enter the low emission zone. You can find an overview of the low emission zone here. The sticker costs between 5 and 15 euros and can be obtained in person at various locations in the city and city region of Aachen or online. The address of the respective issuing office and further information can be found on the website of the city of Aachen. If you do not have a green sticker, we recommend that you use the Park & Ride parking lots. All further information can be found further down on this page.

Parking facilities for coaches
Coach parking
Outside of events, the bus parking lot at Bendplatz is available. The cost is €15/24 hours.
Please note that the Bendplatz is not available as a parking lot during frost and snowfall due to a lack of winter service. Information on this can be obtained from Eurogress Aachen.
The only exception is during the Aachen Christmas Market.
In addition, there is another official and free coach parking lot in "Karmeliterstraße", which is usually available 24 hours a day. Please note that only a maximum of two coaches can park here at the same time.
There are two bus stops on "Sandkaulstraße" and "Theaterplatz " where parking is permitted for a maximum of 2 hours during the day with a parking disc (unlimited from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 a.m.).
during the Aachen Christmas market
During the Aachen Christmas Market (22.11. - 23.12.2024) the Bendplatz offers free parking for all coaches. Coming from the highways, simply follow the special signs to the bus parking lot "Bendplatz" (Süsterfeldstraße). Guests can reach the Christmas market on foot or by bus shuttle. And a drivers' meeting point has been set up for all bus drivers.
The walk from the Bendplatz bus parking lot to the Christmas market is approx. 1.2 km and is very well signposted. A city map with directions to the Aachen Christmas Market is available to guests free of charge on site.
A double-decker bus runs the route every 15 minutes between 10:00 and 18:30. From Driescher Gässchen it is only a few minutes' walk to the Christmas market. One way costs €2 per person (return €3). The provider is CityTour.
