Today, the capital of the Belgian German-speaking Community is a charming place with a wide range of shops and gastronomy, beautiful nature and a rich cultural treasure. In Eupen, you will discover many historical buildings dating back to the heyday of the cloth industry. The beautifully decorated St Nicholas' Church and the City Museum are also worth a visit.
