Description
Explore WWII battlefields, memorials, and castles on a private tour from Luxembourg City. Visit the American and German Cemeteries, Clervaux Castle, Wiltz Castle, and the Battle of the Bulge Museum.
Step back in time to one of the most decisive chapters of World War II — the Battle of the Bulge. On this private full-day tour, travel through the north of Luxembourg to explore battlefields, memorials, and castles that carry the scars and stories of the war.
Begin at the Luxembourg American Cemetery in Hamm, where General George S. Patton and more than 5,000 U.S. soldiers are buried. The vast white crosses stand as a moving tribute to those who fought for freedom. Just a few minutes away, the German War Cemetery in Sandweiler provides a stark contrast — the final resting place of more than 10,000 German soldiers. Together, these memorials reflect both the tragedy and reconciliation of history.
Continue north to Clervaux Castle, where you’ll discover the world-renowned photo exhibition The Family of Man (UNESCO Memory of the World). Within the same town, the Battle of the Bulge Museum brings the conflict to life with authentic uniforms, weapons, and personal stories.
Finally, visit Wiltz Castle, which served as a headquarters for Luxembourg’s resistance fighters. Today, its museum preserves the memory of local resilience against occupation.
This tour combines history, culture, and emotion — perfect for American visitors, WWII enthusiasts, and anyone curious about Luxembourg’s role in the last great battle of Europe.
