Itinerary
Saint Julien Memorial
With your guide, discover these sites including St Julien Memorial, a Canadian memorial sometimes referred to as the 'Brooding Soldier,' and Polygon Wood, the 5th Australian Division Memorial.
40 minutes
Tank Memorial Ypres Salient - Poelkapelle
Relax on a scenic drive through Brussels to Ypres, where you’ll visit the famous battlefield of the Ypres Salient, an area that saw many of the biggest battles during World War 1. Thousands of soldiers from the Commonwealth countries, as well as Germany, France and Belgium, defended the land around the Ypres Salient from the German Army. This battlefield saw numerous deaths during the war, and is now the site of several cemeteries and memorials honoring those who lost their lives there.
1 hour
In Flanders Fields Museum
In a country where war was fought, it lingers, even if that war is already a century behind us. For each of the more than 600,000 dead who fell here, for each of the more than 425,000 graves and names on memorials and for the hundreds of traces and relics in the front region, for each of the millions affected (physically or psychologically wounded, refugees and displaced persons) there is a story of suffering, pain and ordeal somewhere in the world.
The City of Peace Ypres and the In Flanders Fields Museum conserve the link with the war past. Because it is important for those who want to speak about peace and war today.
1 hour
Essex Farm Cemetery
Next, discover the Essex Farm Cemetery and bunkers, an area used as a dressing station during WWI and often associated with John McCrae, a Canadian soldier who was stationed here. Learn how he wrote ‘In Flanders Fields,’ the famous poem that resulted in poppies becoming one of the world's most recognized memorial symbols for fallen soldiers.
30 minutes
Hill 60
With your guide, walk up to Hill 60, a famous battlefield on raised land that saw heavy fighting during the war. Unlike other battlefields in the Belgium Flanders region, Hill 60 saw a lot of fighting underground in tunnels created by mines.
30 minutes
Tyne Cot Cemetery
Visit the Tyne Cot Cemetery, where many soldiers who died in the Ypres Salient are buried. See the Tyne Cot Memorial to the Missing, the stone wall that surrounds the cemetery containing the names of missing soldiers from the UK and New Zealand.
30 minutes
Ieper (Ypres)
On your tour, you’ll also have free time to explore the town of Ypres at your leisure and have lunch (own expense).
1 minute
Menin Gate Memorial
See the Menin Gate Memorial in Ypres, which has the names of thousands of missing Commonwealth soldiers inscribed on it, before enjoying a comfortable ride back to Brussels

A touching tour of the history and the tragedy of Flanders Field
Published on Oct, 2024
Marikea gave us a great tour that captured both the history and the tragedy of Flanders Field. She included stops at both the modern museum at Ypers and the rustic museum at hill 62, then a walk through the craters at hiill 60. Brief stops at several cemeteries dedicated to boys fim the many national regiments gave a feel for the world's commitment to wiping out facisim in the early 20th century. As a volunteer at the US National WWI Museum and Memorial in Kansas City I sincerely appreciate her giving us time to take photos I can share. A day both filled with history and the grief of the families world-wide who lost boys in a valiant battle against evil.
The tour guide, Henry,...
