If you're gonna go anywhere in Ypres go here. (At 8pm.) Irregardless of whether you have an interest in the war the war, the ceremony at 8pm is a must watch. It's a once in a lifetime for people who live in a different country and to experience the dedication and art of all parties involved makes you appreciate all the soldiers that died fighting for others (those from your own country and the opposing). Such a great atmosphere, giving you a lost in time type of feel as you stand watching and listening to the trumpets, marches and speeches in the yellow-hued night.

Many thanks to these folks and the presentation at the Menin Gate. Even with children on field trips, they manage to convey an appropriate and powerful message.
Must see while in ieper. 8pm sharp start. Young children may not suit this as silence is required.
Every day whole year at 20h
This is a must on any visit to ypres, the silence in the air is breathtaking as well as the architecture... still in tears it’s that emotional. Perfect place for children to explain the stories of the war to them where they understand as they are stood in the exact places etc
Great place to spend a evening and pay your repect
Brilliant time and as much as possible
Incredible very moving. So wonderful to know that those who laid down their lives are truly remembered and so many young people remebering. A most wonderful experience I shall never forget
