After parking our car we found out a small dog in a backpack was not allowed. That's ok but we did have to pay 5 euros for parking 1 minute. Prices are quite extreme. 27 euros per adult and 5 euros… Full review by Niels V

Loved it. It was like a long movie and presented in a way that you experience it. Not a museum to skim through. One of the few museums that I read almost every note and captions and I enjoyed it. T… Full review by Nabio N

I have to express my deep disappointment with the Bastogne War Museum. This should be a place of remembrance, honoring the sacrifices of a whole generation who crossed the ocean, faced suffering, and… Full review by Alex B

What memorial as information about the 17th Airborne Division and specifically the 507th Parachute Infantry Regiment (United States). My Uncle was a Chaplin for that unit.

If he fought in the battle his unit would be listed on the American memorial in Bastogne. As far as what each individual unit did I would look it up on the Internet. The memorial is at least 5 stories high in the shape of a star. The units are shown on the columns. White marble if I remember right. It was VERY impressive. Hope this helps.

Q:
We are planning on driving from Amsterdam to Bastogne, (about 200 miles) Is there a preferred or better route to take? Has anyone made the drive? Route E25 southbound and Route E19 to E411 to E46 northbound. We are planning on returning to Amsterdam several days later by driving back and stopping in Brussels. Any suggestions of which roads to take is appreciated. Patrk71

We drove from Bernkastel-Kues to Bastogne. I had my Garmin from the US with a Europe chip and it planned my route and the drive was easy. We only drove about 145 km to get there but the last segment was the same as yours. You will enjoy the museum, plan for plenty of time.

Q:
Hi Keith I am visiting Bastogne at the end of May as a surprise present for my husbands 40th. Neither of us have been to the area before and I am wondering if you could offer me any information on the area. We will only be there for 3 days so if you could recommend any tours, guides or general places to see I would really appreciate it. Also would I be right in thinking that we would be better off hiring a car? We will be flying into Charleroi airport in Belgium. Any kind of advise would be very much appreciated. Kind regards Edel

Hi Edel, lucky you, this is a wonderful area to visit, and yes you will need a car. But with only 3 days you have big choices to make. Do you want a variety of things to do or do you want to concentrate on WW11 commemoration. The Bastogne War Museum and US Mardasson Memorial is a must. The museum tells the story of 4 people from different backgrounds and is very well done. Loads of information online about this. In Bastogne itself is McAuliffe Square with a memorial to US General McAuliife, famous for his 'Nuts' retort to a German request. there is also a US tank and Liberty Marker 1145. The last Liberty Marker 1147 is at the War Museum. The December 44 Museum at La Gleize is another one and has the big German Tiger tank outside. We found this one well worth a visit. In La Roche en Ardenne the Ardennes Museum is well laid out and also worth a visit. La Roche itself is a lovely town to wander around and has a very nice Chinese restaurant on the river and a nice Parc de Rompre with interesting features.. The caves at Hotton make a nice relief from the War interests and on the way from La Roche you will pass the British Sherman tank Northampton from where you get a lovely view of the town. Just round the corner from there is the Memorial to the Scottish 51st Division (park at the Tank and walk to the memorial) Durbuy, reputed to be the smallest town in the world, is quaint and has a lovely Topiary Park. I hope this helps and you can find more information online about these places.
