Bastogne

If you are interested in historical monuments, and old battle ground sites; Bastogne is a great option. Bastogne, located in Wallone Brabant, is the location of the important Battle of the Bulge during World War II. This is the point where the Americans fought hard against the Germans in their final push through Belgium before retreating back to Germany. The town features some great cafe's and restaurants while incorporting their historical importance. There are several cool monuments on the outskirts of town. Unfortunately, I was never able to make it into the museum, but there is a big World War II museum which is focused around this particular battle. The museum includes some cool tanks from both the allies and axis. As well, right next to the museum is a huge U.S. monument commemorating the fallen U.S. soldiers during the battle. Tourists can climb stairs that will take them to the top, viewing the battlefield around them below as well as names of each of the 50 states.
