The ancient battlefield of Waterloo is situated near Waterloo Town, 18 kilometers south of Brussels at the end of the Sowani Forest. On the evening of June 18, 1815, the Duke of Wellington commanded the British and Dutch allied forces and the Prussian army, which besieged and eventually defeated Napoleon, thus ending the legendary figure's history of traversing Europe. In 1826, people piled up a hill at the site where Prince William was injured. On the top of the hill, a huge iron lion, 4.5 meters long, 4.45 meters high and weighing 28 tons, was placed. It is said that the lion was made of guns abandoned by Napoleon's army on the battlefield. Along the 226 steep steps to the top of the mountain, Waterloo ancient battlefield can be seen at a glance, Brussels also can be seen. Although Napoleon was the loser of the Waterloo War, in people's minds, he was definitely a greater hero than the winner. Every five years, the war scenes of that year will be repeated in the ancient battlefield, with more than 2,000 local people participating in the performance.

    If you come to Brussels and plan to go to Waterloo, it's a good start. Here you will enjoy the scenery of the battlefield and the peace of the town. If you buy a ticket to Waterloo Station, it doesn't matter. Walk a kilometer to Waterloo Eglise and take the W-way bus for 25-30 minutes to get near the battlefield. You can talk to the driver to Lion Mountain and he will call you when you arrive. In fact, instead of sitting in Waterloo, you can go to Braine L&39; Alleud, where you can take W Road closer. Lion Mountain ticket price is 7 Euros, with 4D movies is 8 Euros, 225 steps up Lion Mountain, you will experience the feeling of commanding the war. Although it took some time, Waterloo is still worth visiting. Nord (North Station), Central (Central Station) and Midi (South Station) in Brussels can buy tickets for a 3.8 Euro one-person train, which takes about 30 minutes. Waterloo Bus Ticket 2.4 Euro a person, ticket valid within 60 minutes can be used at will, can take IC bus at Waterloo Station to Braine L &

    At the top of Waterloo's Tie Lion, a 28-ton iron lion sat on the base, his right paw stepped on an iron ball, looking in the direction of Paris, majestic and slightly sad, it is said that the iron lion was cast from the scrap of weapons left on the battlefield. The battle lasted less than 24 hours, with 31,000 French casualties and 24,000 coalition casualties. The Duke of Wellington later described the war in Waterloo as "the most unexpected thing in his life."
