While it is impossible to visit all the sites in 1 day, our day trip will give you the broadest insight into those 4 years of terrible war. We hope our excursion is an incentive for YOU to visit the region more extensively on your own afterwards. Some of the places we visit include Tyne Cot Cemetery, Hill 60, the Menin Road, a German cemetery, the town of Ypres and the Menin Gate, several memorials to the countries of the British Commonwealth and the aftereffect that this war still has on the region today because of unexploded ordnance.

If your accommodation in Bruges is more than a 10-minute walk away from a starting point, we can organize a pick-up from or close to your accommodation.
