Discover the Waterloo Battlefield where Napoleon lost his final battle. See the battlefield exactly like it was June the 18th of 1815 when Wellington faced Napoleon for an ultimate battle that changed Europe's face forever. The Lion's Mound is an artificial hill of 43 metres high with a statue of a lion on top, roaring southwards in the direction of Paris. It can be climbed by stairs and offers a splendid view over the whole battlefield. There is a museum next to it, underground, about the battle. Admission is for the museum, access to the mound and the panorama. If you are coming from Germany and exit the highway at Waterloo exit, do not expect to find large road signs or anybody in Waterloo to indicate where the battlefield is.
