We also spent a few hours in Aachen, Germany. This is another very old city with lots of great history. In the cathedral (built in the 9th century) is a throne of Charlemagne - http://www.sacred-destinations.com/germany/aachen-cathedral
The famous city hall also has tremendous history about it - http://www.citymayors.com/cityhalls/aachen_cityhall.html
I also had my first schnitzel of the trip!
