'''Aachen''' is a city in [[North Rhine-Westphalia]], [[Germany]], close to the [[Netherlands]] and [[Belgium]].
There are quite a few [[police]] controls around Aachen, so make sure you are not bringing any drugs from the Netherlands to Germany as you might get controlled. Controls are for sure for buses, cars and even bicycles. Bus lines from the NL are being controlled, especially the line 50 from Maastricht if you get out at the main train station. Cars number plates starting with letters '''AC''' are registered in this locality. License more likely to be controlled if they have registration plates with '''DN''' indicate that a car is from a neighbour locality of Dürenother cities than Aachen.
== Hitching Out Nomadwiki & Trashwiki ===== West towards [[Netherlands]], [[Belgium]], East towards [[Köln]] ===There is a nice [[petrol station]], ''Aachener Land'', on the A4, not too far east of Aachen. It is good for heading towards Netherlands or Belgium, while the other side offers good opportunities to hitch towards almost any region in [[Germany]]. The fastest way to get there is by taking a bus #52 from the ''Busbahnhof''. It stops close to the [[service area]]. It should be also mentioned that there are good chances of meeting ticket controllers while on that bus; in addition, you have to show your ticket to the driver when entering the bus (although generally you can show anything looking like a ticket and probably get away with it). Another option is to start hitchhiking from ''Europaplatz'' just where the cars enter the motorway from a [[roundabout]]. When going East (direction Köln), leave ''Aachener Land'' behind you. When going West, step out at the petrol station and do a little walk over the bridge nearby to cross the motorway.
