Belgium Wallonia Bastogne

Band of Brothers: Rachamps and details of the battle on January 16th 1945 by Dalton

Set in the Ardennes, Bastogne was a strategic center from Roman times to WWII, which makes it a town of historical interest.

The 101st Airborne Museum includes dioramas and more about the experiences of soldiers and civilians during the siege of the city during World War II. The Bastogne Barracks museum is free, located in the barracks used as the headquarters of the U.S. 101st Airborne during the Siege of Bastogne. It features an extensive collection of restored tanks and military vehicles as well as a guided tour of the underground barracks and artifacts. The Romanesque tower of St Pierre church and its baptismal fonts also date from the Middle Ages. The Mardasson Memorial was erected near Bastogne in 1950 to honor the memory of American soldiers wounded or killed during the Battle of the Bulge.

We found your website very easy and intuitive. We were able to customize our trip and learn details about the various cities. We were a bit nervous about ordering our hotels on the spot. When we got to our first destination and handed the voucher to the receptionist and they confirm that everything was okay, then that's when we relaxed smiled and said this is really cool. We set up for different accommodations and everything was perfect. We will definitely consider using RoutePerfect again and we will definitely recommend RoutePerfect to other people.

My husband and I absolutely enjoyed our trip to Europe, our only complaint is that it wasn't long enough. I feel that we just scratched the surface and there is so much more we want to see and do. We definitely will be planning another trip in the near future. RoutePerfect is an amazing tool, it took a lot stress off of my shoulders. RoutePerfect staff was awesome, I had to make a couple of changes and it was done promptly. I stayed in some really descent hotels at a reasonable price. I love the fact that I didn't have to work too hard looking for good hotels RoutePerfect made it so easy to choose where I wanted to stay within my price range and interests. It was our first trip to Europe and we didn't know what to expect. I am so thankful i came across RoutePerfect. I tell my friends and family about it. I recommend it to everyone who asks me about my trip.
