In Waterloo you will visit the battlefield (all visits are optional), where you can see the historical farmsteads as well as the monuments erected by the Nations that participated in the battle.

Stop and choose to visit the Panorama painting (by L. Dumoulin), and the Visitor's Center, where you can join an audiovisual reconstruction of the battle. There is also some free time to climb the Lion Hill. All visits on the battlefields are optional.

You will also have time to visit the Royal Army History Museum if you wish.

For a change of scenery, travel to the remarkable medieval Castle of Gaasbeek, where in the 16th century the Count of Egmond lived. It houses important collections of furniture, porcelain, arms, silverware and tapestries from the 15th and 16th century.

On arrival in Ypres you will visit with your guide the old city center, including Cloth Hall, Town Hall, St. Martin's Cathedral, St. George's Memorial Church, Old Fish Market, the Menin Gate, the ramparts and the famous peace museum - In Flanders Fields.

The battlefields around Ieper are some of the most famous in the world. In the First World War the German and Allied armies fought for four years without achieving a decisive victory. The price in human lives was high - 1.2 million wounded and half a million dead.

In the Flanders Fields Museum, the focus is not on strategy or the commanding generals, rather on the common people, soldiers, children and nurses who all experienced these times in their own way. Computers, video projections, CD-Roms, and interactive models bring their history back to life.

After lunch in Ypres, continue your journey along the three front towns (Ieper, Diksmuide and Veurne) and follow the traces of the Great War, left behind in the Flemish landscape.

In Diksmuide you shall visit : the "Corridor of Death", a last remainder of the trenches from the First World War, the Ijzertoren (The Ijzer Tower), build in memory of the Battle of the Ijzer. On top of this tower, with the inscription A.V.V - V.V.K.(All for Flanders - Flanders for Christ), you can appreciate the beautiful panorama of the Flemish landscape.

Your last stop is Vladslo where you will make a stop at this German cemetery, because of its remarkable symbolic statue - The Mourning Couple from K?the Kollwitz, before returning to Bruges.
