Sweet little that is part of the greater tour of Wellington HQ in downtown Waterloo and the actually battle field If you’re into history and French/European history, you’ll definitely love visiting this place. They have Napoleon’s field bed and you can actually where he had his breakfast in the 18th of June 1815. This is a very humble place but they have lots of important stuff and at some room, you can read about arms and canons filling Very cool place where he planned his final battle A fascinating and well-preserved historical site, Napoleon’s Last HQ offers a compelling glimpse into the final hours before the Battle of Waterloo. The is thoughtfully curated, with informative displays, original artifacts and a strong sense of atmosphere that brings the era to life. The staff are knowledgeable and welcoming, and the grounds are peaceful and well maintained. Whether you're a history buff or a curious traveler, this is a memorable and worthwhile stop that captures a pivotal moment in European history. We visited mid week in mid-June 2024 towards the end of a very long and rainy day. We had bought access as part of the Waterloo 'all-inclusive' ticket. There are about 8 parking spaces (we were the only visitors!) and you should allow about an hour for the visit. Most of the tour is indoors (8 stations), and the outside two are on paved paths. The audio tour is excellent and there is a lot to see (including an ossary!). This was quite an interesting visit. The building and the garden were small: what made us think how they could gather there with so many officers and soldiers :-) There were very interesting original pieces! The voice guide was very informative and you could follow the explanation on maps. Don't forget to watch the short film almost at the end of your visit. It was very interesting. Very friendly person at the reception. Very interesting experience linked with the battle of Waterloo. Takes about 30 min to visit. A small parking lot is available on site. Small but nethertheless worthwhile the visit. Good audioguide and interactive for children with up to date exhibition of some authentic artefacts. Very small but unmissable if you want to have the full Waterloo battle experience. Worth the 5 euros and it is easy to get to. Considering this is an event from 200 years ago, the relics they have are amazing! Video will be online. Small but for anyone interested in The Battle of Waterloo, it’s a must visit. The place where Napoleon stayed on the evening between 17 and 18 june in the year 1815. Great that they preserved it! Bonjour Ca reste un endroit historique Only €5 for the entry fee, a must place in waterloo. Free parking available at the museum. Triest, sfeerloos en het geld absoluut niet waard Lovey and easy miss to historical museum.. Petit musée mais très intéressant je l'ai associé le même jour avec le musée Wellington Great little museum, 5 euros in 2025 Magnifique endroit historique Assez petit Website change monitoring Monitor any webpage for changes – get instant email alerts when prices drop, new jobs are posted, products come back in stock, or competitors update their sites.
