If you’re a student of Napoleonic history, Waterloo is the place to go. However, if you only have a passing familiarity with the Battle of Waterloo, you’re better off reading a book about it. The exhibit is a 1950s diorama in a bad state of repair, the movie they show is interesting but not really insightful, and the best part of the area would be climbing the commemorative mount for its magnificent view. The village of Waterloo is a great place to live, apparently, with a fairly large expat community, but it really doesn’t offer a lot for passing tourists.
