Brugge & War Grave tours

[Suzannew]

Hoping to visit Brugge next Spring. I would like to visit Ypres and some WW1 battlefields. Will it be easy to go on an arranged tour and how far away is Ypres?

Quasimodo Tours and Daytours both run minibus tours:

ViaMichelin.com quotes Brugge to Ieper as 71 km (45 miles) and 50 minutes driving time.

A few years ago I did exactly this tour with ...

Would recommend them and would travel with them again.

Try and arrange a tour which includes the evening ceremony at the Menin Gate, extremely moving. This has been performed by the Ypres Fire Service each evening since the late 1920's From memory I think it is at 6pm.
