The annual Bunker Day will take place in the Netherlands at the end of this month, in Belgium there will be one next month.
On May 30, a large number of locations across the Netherlands will be open to visitors from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.; you can find them all at the website or in the program booklet for 2026.
In Belgium, a Bunker Day is held every two years, and the Antwerp Bunker Museum will participate again in 2026. At the unique bunker site in Park den Brandt, the two impressive command bunkers will once again be open to the public, showcasing an interesting contrast in their restoration and conservation.
Most locations are, of course, closer to the coast, where you can, among other, visit Atlantikwall sites at Lissewege, Adinkerke and Koksijde but also locations from the Cold War such as the Kemmelberg.
We hope everyone has a great time on both days!
