On the walls of the monument are the names of US States along with the names of the different US military units that were involved in the battle. During my visit the gates were locked due to some renovation going on inside so I was only able to observe from the outside. Surrounding the monument are many concrete benches for sitting and taking in the views of not only the impressive monument but also the beautiful Belgium countryside visible from that location. This monument is managed by the American Battle Monuments Commission who also manage all of the foreign based military cemetery's that include US war dead. There is no cost to visiting other than possibly having to pay for parking at the museum next door. Budget 20 minutes to visit here. Best time to visit is immediately before or after visiting the Bastogne War Museum next door.

The citadel itself is light on sights and it appears mostly closed. The guide booklet is almost worthless since there is no map. As others have mentioned sections appear to be closed - not sure if you need to be on a guided tour to see those. We happened to see a group exit one of these areas and so we scooted in and saw the secret areas which includes the best view from the citadel down to the river. My advice if you go is to ignore the chain that closes of the section to stop 4.
