What to do and see in Belgium, Belgium: The Best Military Bases & Facilities

October 28, 2021 Flossie Demartino

From canal-laced, fairy-tale cities like Bruges and Ghent to the urban centers of Antwerp and Brussels, Belgium sits at the crossroads of medieval and modern Europe. The chance to sample famous exports such as chocolate and beer straight from the source only sweetens a visit.

Fort Breendonk

Reviewed By goldeneaglepilot - New Port Richey, United States

If you are into world war II history and if the dark side of the Nazi amry is of interest to you, then this visit is a chilling reminder of some of the atrocities that took place behind the barbed wire and in the dampened rooms of these prison camps!

Fort Eben-Emael

Reviewed By Aipalovik - Brussels, Belgium

Our visit lasted one hour due to lack of time, but we could have stayed longer. The exhibits and the 10 min introductory film are very good and give a clear view of the war context, the strategic importance of the fort, and the reasons why the fort was captured so quickly. The only negative was the status of the path around the top of the fort. While the circuit is relatively well indicated, it is poorly maintained and some sections can be dangerous for pedestrians that do not have good footing especially where the handrails are missing or broken. The path offers views of some of the top bunkers but again access for good views is not always easy. We also missed the side path with the view over the Meuse and the canal.

Schuilbunker Onder De Kortemarkstraat

This bunker, probably used for storage or accommodation, was built into the bank of the Kortemarkstraat and is now under street level. It can be visited any time of day. Best to bring a flashlight.
