About this school trip
We would be delighted to take care of transport for you and your pupils to the Bastogne War Museum on Mardasson Hill in Bastogne. In a modern, interactive way, the museum explores the causes, events and consequences of the Second World War, with particular focus on the Battle of the Bulge.
The educational programme caters for pupils aged 6 to 18. Younger pupils follow the story of Émile and discover how civilians and soldiers lived through the war. Older pupils can choose programmes on flight and exile, human rights, or a re-enacted war crimes tribunal. Prefer to explore on your own? Then the class follows four characters through the museum with an audio guide, including three immersive scenovisions. Free preparatory teaching materials are available.
Bastogne lies in the Belgian Ardennes, quite a drive for most schools. ITS-Reizen takes your class there and back in a comfortable, safe coach, with an experienced driver who knows the route well. That way you can relax and enjoy an educational day steeped in history.
