These two neighbouring areas are where locals live, eat out and live their day to day. Less bustle than the city center and less hyped than the Belgian Quarter - Kwartier Latäng & Rathenauviertel are home to the "student party mile", traditional Kölsch food, old-school Colognians, beautiful shops and the odd historical landmark. Great areas for foodies to explore or to find the perfect spot to sit back and relax.
On a relaxing summer day, Aachener Weiher is usually packed with Colognians. Bring a picnic blanket, a few beers, maybe a barbecue, and come to enjoy some sun while people watching. Located within the bigger Hiroshima Nagasaki Park, Aachener Weiher also has a small [biergarten](http://biergarten-aachenerweiher.de/) if you don't feel like grilling sausages for yourself. The park is also lovely for a stroll, wether with a bike or on foot!
