The Botanischer Garten Aachen (1.2 hectares) is a botanical garden maintained by RWTH Aachen. It is variously known as the Botanische Garten der RWTH Aachen, more formally the Botanische Garten der Rheinisch-Westfälische Technische Hochschule Aachen, and sometimes the Freundeskreis Botanischer Garten or Biologischen Zentrums Aachen BIOZAC für Ökologie und Umweltpädagogik. It was originally located at Melatener Straße 30, Aachen, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, with a new addition (the Karl Garten) located on Rabentalweg. Both are open daily without charge. The gardens contain over 5,000 plant species in areas including an arboretum, an alpine garden, marsh, and collections of ferns and heath plants. Its greenhouses (600 m²) contain succulents and a good collection of carnivorous plants. The Karl Garten is patterned upon the 70th chapter of Charlemagne's "de Capitular villis vel curtis imperialibus", which specifies over 90 plants to be grown in every royal garden. The former Botanical Garden in the "Melatener Straße" is closed down. At its place you can find the university apiary now.

Beyond the German border, the borough borders the Belgian town of Kelmis, in the Province of Liège, as well as the Dutch communities of Vaals, Gulpen-Wittem and Simpelveld, all contained with the Dutch Province of Limburg. The borough Laurensberg covers 2,997 hectares and has 20,381 inhabitants (as of 2020).The borough is characterized by its wide hilltop views and its interesting (from an art history perspective) St. Laurentius Catholic Church. A highlight of the old town center is the large park surrounding the Schloss Rahe, the former residence and water fortress of a patrician Aachen-area family, which was refashioned in the 18th century by the businessman Gerhard Heusch into a stately four-wing castle. Laurensberg is not to be confused with the former town of Laurenzberg, the remnants of which were absorbed by Eschweiler in the 1970s. Laurensberg is also home to the Rugby Club RC Aachen, a major competitor in the 2. Rugby-Bundesliga.

The Jewish Cemetery Aachen (German: Jüdischer Friedhof Lütticher Straße Aachen) is located in Aachen in North Rhine-Westphalia. It is on the corner of Lütticher Straße (English "Liège street") and Körnerstraße. In 1820, the Jewish community in Aachen asked the district administrator to allocate a place for the burial of deceased members of the community, since at that time the dead of the Jewish community in Aachen had to be buried in Düren in the old cemetery or in the neighboring Dutch village of Vaals. The Jewish cemetery was transferred to the Jewish community of Aachen in June 1822 and used for burials from the same year. In 1865 and 1878, the site was expanded. The burial hall was completed in 1890. The oldest tombstone (mazewot) dates from 1822. In the cemetery, which is still in use today, there are 1366 tombstones for 2153 deceased (as of December 2014). The cemetery has been desecrated several times. Most recently, on the night of 1–2 August 2010, the cemetery wall was vandalized with anti-semitic smearings and Nazi symbolism.
