1 Best Sight in Bastogne, The Meuse and the Ardennes

Bastogne War Museum

Fodor's choice

One of Belgium's best and most moving museums, this huge exhibition space looks at the causes and events of World War II in general, but has a particular focus on the events that happened in and around Bastogne in late 1944, when German troops reoccupied the town for a month. Visits include an audio tour guided by four very different but very real people who lived through the ordeal: a local Belgian boy, a school teacher, an American GI, and a German foot soldier all recount their own experiences of some very dark days.
