BY CAR, CAN I PARK EASILY? :

The site of the 1815 Waterloo Memorial, the Mont-st-Jean farm and Napoleon's last headquarters have large parking lots.

Unfortunatly it is not possible to park near the Hougoumont farm; it is best to park near the Memorial.

The Wellington Museum also has a large car park at the rear (access to Queen Astrid Avenue).

Bus passengers can nevertheless get out in front of the museum.

BY TRAIN, HOW TO ARRIVE?:

To reach the battlefield, we recommend Braine-l'alleud station. To reach the Wellington museum, we recommend Waterloo station.

The Brussels-Charleroi line serves Waterloo and Braine-l'alleud. Waterloo train station is 1 km from the Wellington Museum: walking distance. In front of the Wellington Museum, you can take a bus (Line W) to Braine-l'alleud station.

Between Waterloo and Braine-l'Alleud, the W bus stops 500 m from the site of the Battlefield (Chaussée de Nivelles stop, next to an ESSO station).

Braine-l'alleud station provides access to the battlefield site. (Take a bus: line W towards Waterloo stop: Chaussée de Nivelles, next to an ESSO station).

From Brussels and Waterloo, you can also take bus 365 to Charleroi. So the stop is Gordon Monument, which is also 500 m from the battlefield site.
