Ypres

Know before you go

Menin Gate Memorial (Ypres Memorial)

The number of unburied soldiers is so large that not all names could fit on the Menin Gate; nearly 35,000 others are inscribed on the walls of the nearby Tyne Cot Cemetery.
Ypres itself was virtually razed during World War I fighting, so its Cloth Hall, cathedral, and medieval buildings were all reconstructed.
If you attend the nightly Last Post ceremony, refrain from applauding. Instead, visitors are encouraged to join the refrain “We Will Remember” after the bugles have played.
