Tripadvisors tilnærming til anmeldelser
Hver Tripadvisor-anmeldelse går gjennom et automatisert sporingssystem før den legges ut. Dette systemet samler inn informasjon som svarer på følgende spørsmål: Hvordan, hva, hvor og når. Hvis systemet oppdager noe som muligens strider imot retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet, blir anmeldelsen ikke publisert.
Når systemet oppdager et problem, kan en anmeldelse automatisk avvises, sendes til anmelderen for bekreftelse eller gjennomgås manuelt av teamet vårt av innholdsspesialister. Disse spesialistene jobber døgnet rundt for å opprettholde kvaliteten av anmeldelsene på nettstedet vårt.
Teamet vårt sjekker hver anmeldelse som er lagt ut på nettstedet og bestrides av fellesskapet vårt for ikke å møte retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet.

me and my wifey traveled through the netherlands and stopped here.It was a good time apart from the racist couple that were shouting at us saying that my ancestors were the reason that they lost theyrs. They said because my "slave ancestors" escaped the plantation it led to their ancestor dying as if its my fault.If your lucky enough to not come across a couple like this then it will probably be an alright time.Although i think i saw a ghost but that couldve been my wifey playing tricks on me

I recently enjoyed a tour at the Netherlands American Cemetery and Memorial, a Second World War military war grave cemetery, located in the village of Margraten, 10 km (6.2 mi) east of Maastricht.
The cemetery, the only American one in the Netherlands and dedicated in 1960, contains a constantly varying number above 8,000 American war dead and covers 65.5 acres (26.5 ha).
Simple but elegant architecture and the well maintained gardens and fields are a beautiful setting to those who lost their life and to those who pay their respect.
The new visitor centre (2023) is worth a visit and gives a good overview what kind of an impact WW11 had on the area and rest of the region.
You can pay a free visit to the cemetery. There is sufficient parking, rest rooms and there is also free access to those keen to visit the vistor centre.

Our visit was part of a tour we were on so our guide AJ was provided to us. AJ was an excellent guide, very informative. This cemetery was very impressive because the Dutch people volunteer to care for an American grave; they agree to visit the grave site at least twice a year to place flowers on the site. My husband and I witnessed a young man walk into the cemetery and lay flowers at a grave. It was shared with us that there are 600 people on a waiting list to be assigned to a grave. I was so humbled by this act of care and respect for our American service people. There are 4 women buried at the cemetery. The cemetery is well maintained, there is a beautiful chapel, and memorial statue with reflection pool. Also there are beautiful mosaics of the battles fought in the Netherlands. Additionally there is a museum to visit which describes the battles fought in the area. It was such a moving visit especially in 2024 which is the 80th anniversary of D-Day.

The new visitor center with exhibition was worth it. It was beautifully designed and well integrated into the landscape. Upon entering you must turn left to start the exhibition. The gates on the right are the exit where you return. The exhibition gave a good picture of the big picture, but also the small details of the war. There were illuminating maps about the invasion, but also utensils of soldiers at the front. The cemetery itself was beautifully maintained as always. In May, entire avenues bloom with rhododendrons; an enchanting sight. In the summer the roses. There are also toilets.

I did a fantastic guided tour with friends with a guide from Soldatentales Margraten. A young man Joerie who could tell it so well that you really start to understand what a miserable war it is in which all those young men gave the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. By the way, I didn't know that 4 young women were also buried there. I've been there before, but with such a guide it really is a better experience.

We tried to visit on the Monday of Memorial Day, and had a fair drive to do so (including paying extra for a cross border rental, as we rented in Germany). We got there at 4:45 pm when the cemetery closed at 5 pm. We were not only not allowed in but were not even allowed to turn around in the parking lot--and the entrance is on a narrow country road. I understand the need to keep proper hours, but a 5 min look would have sufficed, and we were there before closing.

Dit ereveld is vormgegeven zoals bijv het ereveld in Normandië en op andere plaatsen. Blijft indrukwekkend en ‘mooi’ om te zien. Alle reden om te bezoeken.

We will be in Cologne one day for a Viking River Cruise and I would like to make the trip to the Henri Chappelle American Cemetery -- I have an uncle who died at The Battle of The Bulge that is buried there. There would be at least 4 of us make the trip....possibly a few more. What would be the recommended best way to go there and be able to be back in time to reboard our riverboat? Thanks so much!

We will be in Paris and would like to visit. Can this be done as a day trip?
Skrevet 28. mai 2018
Round trip Paris - Margraten - Paris is roughly 500 miles (800 km). If you rent a car it can be done in one day (10 hours). It is possible, but not recommended.

I am planning to visit the grave of my Uncle. Eugene F Schmidt and his cousin Gerald Davies. We are planning to take the train from Utrecht to Maastricht, May on May 13 Sunday. We get in about 1300. By train, but wondering about driving, so we can go back and forth in about one day. What time do the buses run to the Cemetery? Any tips on how to get to the cemetery or any info would be greatly appreciated. I work with Veterans in Oregon with the Honorflight Flight program and want to honor my relatives here. Thank you for any assistance.
Skrevet 26. mars 2018
hello there Oregon.
no problem to reach the Cemtery with bus. The best way to have an overview for the busses is to install the OV9292 app. This app informs you about all public transport in the area. Have a nice stay. regards, Olaf

I am hoping to bring my 85yo mother to Margraten to visit the only location her brother, Capt. Ross Bales is remembered. Like so many he was KIA in WWII. We read that a local group honors soldiers there on a special day. It would mean a lot to my family if we could bring his photo to leave for this type of event. Mother walks with a cane now, any suggestions on our visit? Thank you.
Skrevet 5. mars 2018
It is really a wonderful experience to meet the adopting family You can get the direct email of the administrator from the American Battle Monuments Comm Send them your info and dates of visit and they can correlate the visit
Also you can purchase the book The Boys of Margraten on Amazon
We stayed at the Hotel Groot Welsden in the area and highly recommend it Art Mouton

Will be in Cologne on a Rhine River Cruise and want to take a trip to the cemetery. What's the best way to get there, tour and get back the boat? Train, bus, rental, private driver?
Skrevet 31. mai 2017
The easiest thing to do would be to hire a car and drive there. Henri Chappelle American cemetery is a short drive away so you could incorporate that too.

Dear,
Thank you for your question. Take the train from Cologne to Aachen. At Aachen train station, take Arriva line 350 from Aachen to Maastricht. Untill about 18:00 hours this bus leaves every 15 minutes at the opposite side of the street in front of the train station. The bus will stop at Margraten cemetery (just ask the bus driver).
I hope this will be helpfull to you!

What is the best way to travel from Brussels to the Netherlands American Cemetery? My husband and I will be visiting in August 2016.
Skrevet 11. april 2016
There are several modes of transportation...
Train: It looks like the train will take you to Aachen first and then bus 50 will take you to the cemetery. Book early. Side note: If you have the time, Aachen is wonderful and well worth exploring (This is where I live).
Renting a car: Trains tend to be a bit expensive so this might be something to look into. Gas is not cheap but a car gives you more freedom to explore the area.
blabla car: Similar to uber. People post times, cost, and available seating when making a trip to different areas. You could check for rides to Maastricht or Aachen and take bus 50 at either destination. Make sure that you can find a ride both there and back... or you will be stuck taking the train.
Bus: I don't know much about the bus system... but there should be an option. The only problem is that it will take you many hours to reach your destination.
cheers
