Overview
More
The most important of Bruges' towers stands 83 metres tall. It houses, amongst other things, a carillon with 47 melodious bells. In the reception area, waiting visitors can discover all kinds of interesting information about the history and working of this unique world-heritage protected belfry. Those who take on the challenge of climbing the tower can pause for a breather on the way up in the old treasury, where the city's charters, seal and public funds were kept during the Middle Ages, and also at the level of the impressive clock or in the carillonneur's chamber. Finally, after a tiring 366 steps, your efforts will be rewarded with a breath-taking and unforgettable panoramic view of Bruges and her surroundings.

Worth the climb, I have visited this every time I have visited Brugge which is more than 11 times in the last 20 years. Not much more I can add except you have to experience it to appreciate the beauty of the tower and the...More

I enjoy climbing monuments when traveling. I like getting the exercise and I generally enjoy the views. The Belfort was a much easier climb than I expected and the view was nice but a bit disappointing. I'm not sure what I expected but Bruges looks...More

The bell mechanism, bells at the top, and views off Bruges are worth the climb and the €10. Going up, the stairs transition from stone to wood and become progressively narrower and steeper.

This was just great to walk around and inside it is 366 steps to the top with great views. Only do the steps if able to

Yes, you have to go all the way to the top! It's really not that hard and the view is awesome. Came home and watched the movie, "In Brugge" and re-did everything all over again!

10 Euro is reasonable for a fantastic view from the top. A large number of stairs to get there though. I would recommend a visit

The Belford was built over time and continued to get taller as additions to the top were added. It is a beautiful building with beautiful architecture.

Well worth the 350 step climb to view all of Bruges. Not t mention, the bells may start ringing and scare the living daylights out of you while you climb--who doesn't live THAT? I sure did! You may wanna leave great grandma and her walker...More

Worth the visit and no queue when we climbed up at 9.45. There are natural breaks at each floor so it isn't a difficult ascent if you want to take your time. Good views to the open sea and across the city. I liked how...More

What a fantastic view from the top worth the 366 steps. This attraction can get very busy and they only allow 70 people to go up the tower at any one time so there can be a wait of upto an hour. My advice is...More

For an adult it is around €10. If you are under the age of 26/25 you can get in for €8.00 but you must show your driving licence for proof of age. I hope this helps! the steep climb is worth the panoramic view :)!

No problem - as others have said its a bit narrower at the top but people wait to let each other go. I am probably a size 18 converted to bloke terms and I did not find it any problem. Do it - its worth it. Have fun.,
