World War I & World War II Sites
Reminders of the world wars of the 20th century are found throughout Europe, Asia, and the Pacific. There are battlegrounds, memorials, ruined bunkers, secret hiding places, cemeteries and concentration camps. History buffs, cultural travelers, and those that lived through it all visit hallowed places.
These are all living places, of course, and there is much to do besides ponder warfare and sacrifice. Many sites in Europe are in or near cities and towns that are centuries old and offer excellent opportunities to enjoy architecture, art, beer and chocolate (among other culinary delights) while wandering twisting, narrow cobblestone streets, crossing ancient stone bridges, or loafing in cafes. In Asia and the Pacific, you can indulge in tropical delights and immerse yourself in a rather different cultural milieu.
