Wallonia counts many memorials and museums dedicated to the first and second world war. Those wishing to pay a special tribute to American soldiers having fallen while fighting for freedom can do so at two cemeteries in the south of Belgium:

A slight slope will bring you to the Henri-Chapelle military cemetery, where 7,992 American soldiers are buried. This WW2 and Battle of the bulge memorial also has a chapel and a visitor's area, framed with 450 plaques, each referencing a disappeared soldier.

The Esplanade overlooks the region beautifully.

Aubel will steal your heart from the very beginning... So will the countryside around, with its bocages and orchards.
