Climb the Belfry
Bruges, Belgium
The Belfry rises above the Markt as a reminder of Bruges’ medieval wealth and independence. Climbing its 366 steps gives you time to encounter the tower’s history before reaching the view over the city and surrounding countryside. The ascent is part of the experience, rather than a quick lift ride to a viewing platform. Book your visit in advance, allow time for the stairs and choose another viewpoint if narrow historic staircases are unsuitable for you.
