Climb the 226 steps leading to the lion on top of the 43m artificial hill for a view overlooking the Waterloo battlefield . The lion symbolizes victory and the hope of peace for Europe.

The new museum/memorial is interesting and entertaining. A big improvement on the old panorama and dusty museum

VIviane Côté

The 4d movie makes you feels part of the battle . Great museum and panorama as well .

Watch the two movies before you climb the stairs to the lion statue . Nice overview on top.

Rather expensive to just go up the hill (16 EUR), though the ticket also includes entrance to different attractions .

Marie Cordiheart ❤️

Climb up the hill and walk around the surroundings- very nice place to unwind

Lovely place. Shame the people in the vicinity have a café and don't seem to like their job very much.

Joseph Terranella

The 200+ steps are worth it for the view

Too bad it's expensive and you can't only see the "butte du lion" you need to pay also the museum and something else.

Pleins de bonnes bières au fut... Comme la Chouffe , la Liefmans ou encore la De Koninck! Bonne dégustation !

Veel trappen ;-)

Très cher pour ce que c'est. On voit mieux le lion d'en bas que d'en haut.

Excellent museum. Tells the story of the French Revolution and Napoleon as well as the battle. Don’t miss the 4D movie. Almost as realistic as being in the middle of the battle. - Gerry Waldron
