The town was completely destroyed during the first world war but has been carefully restored to its former beauty
and boasts a historic Cloth Hall, impressive Cathedral, and medieval Market Square.
Despite centuries of history, however, this city is best known for what happened here a little over a hundred years ago.
It is the unofficial capital of Flanders Fields, site of numerous battles during the First World War.
The “City of Peace” still commemorates these events daily, at the In Flanders Fields Museum and under its Menin Gate memorial.
Night after night, the Last Post sounds in tribute to the soldiers who fell, ensuring that we never forget this war.
We will visit Tyne Cot Cemetery and visitor’s centre, located in an area which was know as the Ypres Salient where Commonwealth,
French, Belgian & German forces fought almost continuously throughout the First World War.
We will then drop you in the centre of Ypres where you can explore and enjoy a traditional Flemish meal at one of the many restaurants surrounding the Grote Markt.
After observing the Last Post Ceremony at the Menin Gate at 8:00pm we start our journey home.

- check your passport meets the requirements.
European Union’s (EU) new Entry/Exit System
From 12 October 2025, the European Union’s (EU) new Entry/Exit System (EES) will begin.
This is a new digital border system that will change requirements for British citizens travelling to the Schengen area.
If you are travelling to a country in the Schengen area for a short stay using a UK passport, you will be required to register your biometric details,
such as fingerprints and a photo, when you arrive.
You do not need to take any action before you arrive at the border, and there is no cost for EES registration.
After it is fully implemented, EES registration will replace the current system of manually stamping passports when visitors arrive in the EU.
You may also require a ETIAS travel authorisation - this scheme has not started yet, please use the link to find information.
Once we are aware this is required we will contact those booked on to European tours - it is then INDIVDUALS responsibility
to ensure they have applied and been approved.
