With over eight thousand graves for American soldiers who have lost their lives in the Second World War, Netherlands American Cemetery is one of the biggest cemeteries in the Netherlands. The cemetery lies within the idyllic countryside, its sprawling verdant lands marked by neat rows of marble headstone crosses. As you enter the cemetery, you will be first met with a solemn tree-lined walkway with a long reflecting pool. The lofty memorial tower that soars at the end of the walkway houses a quaint chapel where you can make a quick prayer or two before you head into the gravesite. If you want a more in-depth experience, you can opt for a guided tour at the visitor centre to be regaled with wartime spiels of certain soldiers and with the history of the Second World War. Tucked away in a corner of Netherlands, Netherlands American Cemetery offers a taste of history that transcends borders.
