Tourist Attractions in Waterloo, Belgium

Waterloo Belgium attractions are one of the most popular reasons travelers and tourists come to Brussels. Located just south of Brussels, Waterloo Belgium attractions offer a number of things to see and do both in the city center and just south of the small commune. Here is a list with the top attractions that should be visited while you are in Waterloo.

1.     Waterloo Belgium Tourist Office

When you reach Chaussee de Waterloo, on your immediate right corner (next to the church), you'll see the Waterloo tourist office. There you can get information about the area, about Waterloo Belgium attractions, and have questions answered by English-speaking representatives.

2.     St. Joseph's Church

Next to the Waterloo Belgium Tourist Office is St. Joseph's Church/Royal Chapel in Waterloo. With its distinctive green dome and lantern tower, you can't miss it. Consecrated more than 300 years ago in 1690, the chapel was restored in 1844 and again in 1968. It remains open during the day for the faithful to pray and the curious to visit. You are welcome to step inside and wander through the small building. Make sure you see the beautiful oak wooden pulpit, rumored to be made by Antwerpian Van Hoof.

3.     Wellington Museum

Another of the more popular Waterloo Belgium attractions is located across the street from the church. The Wellington Museum was formerly the command center of the Duke of Wellington, commander of the Allied forces who fought Napolean's army. In the museum you'll find documents, engravings, arms and authentic souvenirs relating to the battle.

In addition, you'll learn the role of the seven nations which took part in the combat. You'll also find a series of illuminated diagrams explaining the successive stages of the battle. We recommend visiting this museum before going to the battlefield.
