Activity itinerary

Bastogne War Museum
  • 2h

Located near the iconic Mardasson Memorial, the Bastogne War Museum offers an immersive, two-hour journey into the Second World War, with a special focus on the Battle of the Bulge. Through interactive displays and powerful exhibits, visitors gain insight into both the personal and collective impact of the war. Designed to engage all ages, this museum skilfully blends history with technology, making it a compelling tribute to the resilience of those who endured one of the war’s most intense battles.
Bois Jacques
  • 1h
  • Admission ticket included
During the Battle of the Bulge in the winter of 1944-1945, this dense forest was occupied by the American 101st Airborne Division, specifically the renowned Easy Company. The soldiers endured harsh conditions, digging foxholes for protection against intense German artillery and mortar fire. These foxholes remain visible today, serving as poignant reminders of the soldiers' resilience and the brutal realities of war. The site has become a place of pilgrimage, allowing visitors to reflect on the sacrifices made during one of the most pivotal battles of the Second World War. A phone app is available for immersive videos showing the experience of the American soldiers during the challenging moments of the Battle of the Bulge.

The Bastogne Barracks is a historic WWII site northeast of Bastogne, originally a Belgian military post and later the US VIII Corps headquarters during the Battle of the Bulge.
