One of the very few remaining pieces of Atlantic Wall left intact. It gives a very good impression of what the every day life of soldiers and officers must have been.... More

I found this on Tripadvisor because we was only stopping a kilometre away and I love military museums. This place is great, my wife and I (german and english) each got a specific language audio guide. We also showed our german ADAC card (ARC europe) and got a discount on the entrance price. We only had time for the Atlantic... More

If you get a chance it is worth the trip from Bruges to Oostende the location of the AtlantikWall Museum. Here you get to go through WWII bunkers built by the Germans.

I used to walk my friends dog in this area about 25 years ago and never realized what was hiding behind the tangle of bushes and grass until a recent visit to Belgium. The Atlantic Wall museum just has to be the best preserved part of Hitlers Fortress Europe. Actually, the fortifications date from well before WW2 and stand in... More
