Clarification: There is no major US city named 'Waterloo' with significant international tourism infrastructure. The provided Wikipedia context identifies Waterloo primarily as the site of the 1815 Battle of Waterloo in Belgium. If referring to Waterloo, Iowa (US), it lacks a major IATA airport code and is not a primary hub for frequent-flyer hotel travelers. This guide assumes a generic small-city profile: recommend downtown bases for accessibility, note reliance on car rentals or local transit due to limited public transport, and suggest visiting during mild seasons for comfort. Travelers should verify specific location details as 'Waterloo' is ambiguous in the US context.
