How Many Days to Spend & What to See on Your Normandy Tour
The Professor suggests a three-day tour of the Normandy Invasion Beaches, following a chronological itinerary:

-
Day 2: Explore where the Allied paratroopers landed on the night of June 5, 1944. Follow their path securing towns and enemy positions. Visit Utah Beach with a private tour of the Utah Beach Museum, including exclusive access to bunkers.
