Flanders Fields Remembrance Day Trip from Bruges

Experience a unique and moving journey back in time as you join this tour of the First World War battlefields in Flanders, an experience where you will see how the courage and sacrifice of those who fought in this important armed conflict is honoured.

From Bruges, you will embark on a full-day tour in a comfortable air-conditioned van. Your private guide will take you through historical and emotional scenes that are very reflective of the past.

The tour starts in the traditional town of Vladslo, where you will visit the German Military Cemetery. Here, you will encounter the magnitude of the conflict as you gaze at the endless rows of graves, remembering those who gave their lives. It is a place of respect and solemnity that invites you to reflect on the tragedy of war.

Arriving at Diksmuide, history comes alive through the monuments and testimonies that remain standing after so many years. At the Flanders Field Museum, you will delve even deeper into the details of the conflict, understanding the circumstances and experiences of the soldiers.

After tasting the lunch included in the tour, you will pass through Passchendaele, the Commonwealth War Graves Cemetery and the Essex Farm Field Hospital, where you will witness the remnants of the battle and the memorials to the fallen.

The highlight of the day is the moving Last Post Ceremony at the Ypres Menin Gate. This moving event has taken place every evening since 1928 and pays tribute to the Commonwealth soldiers who lost their lives on the Ypres front.
