Normandy for First-timers: How to Visit Omaha Beach & the American Cemetery

Planning your first trip to the Beaches of Normandy in France but not sure how to get there? We got you covered. We list five different options on visiting the immensely moving American Cemetary, Visitor Center and Omaha Beach from Bayeux (closest city) or Paris. This short video also gives a sense of what you'll see at this solemn D-Day tribute to over 9,000 fallen American soldiers and the beach where Allied forces faced immense resistance on June 6, 1944. D-Day marked the beginning of the Allied liberation of Western Europe, leading to the collapse of Nazi Germany and the eventual end of World War II in Europe. Admission to the Visitor's Center and Cemtary is free. #normandy #normandybeaches #tripplanning
