Worthy to climb the Lion Hill or take the guided tour around the spot for five euros (especially the tour mirrors the battlefield spirit). Also maps are only 1.50 euros.

It is best to visit on a Sunday, as that's the day for the famous flea market in Waterloo (next to Careffour supermarket) with antiques and about 300 food stalls.

Waterloo is approachable by train (a return is only three euros on weekend) from central station, or by bus from Brussels.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16082 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16055
The tram trundles along avenues of Art Nouveau mansions and impressive embassies, past parks, boating lakes (and Brussels tram museum!), and even through a forest all on its own, on a dedicated track away from all other traces of civilisation!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16055 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/14756
Not that Brussels itself isn't lovely, but this is makes it even easier to get to towns like Antwerp, Ghent or the coast. And it's so much more relaxing than flying!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/14756 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/14742
