2 days in Ieper (Ypres) Itinerary

Boasting remnants from the Middle Ages, the ancient city of Ieper in West Flanders offers attractions that are as historically significant as Ghent and Bruges, but with fewer crowds.

Start off your visit on the 24th (Sat): explore the different monuments and memorials at Brandhoek New Military Cemetery, explore the different monuments and memorials at Langemark Cemetery, then explore the different monuments and memorials at German War Cemetery of Langemark , Belgium, then stroll the grounds of Ypres Memorial, and finally stroll the grounds of Bedford House Cemetery. Here are some ideas for day two: make a trip to Tyne Cot Cemetery, witness the site of a historic battle at Battle of Polygon Wood, then examine the collection at Pondfarm Museum (by appointment), and finally brush up on your military savvy at In Flanders Fields Museum.
