Belfry of Bruges, Bruges

Phenomenal view from the top, and a really interesting look into historical clockwork. Met a friendly local guide at the top who told me information about all the different landmarks and the history of the city which I hadn't heard from other sources. I would recommend going in the evening, or whenever it is least busy while you're there as it was great to be able to experience it peacefully and not have to awkwardly pass by loads of people on the steps up.€12 is a bit steep but at the same time there's not much like it so worth it in my mind.

A unique experience. Many narrow steps with regular interruptions to let others pass on the journey up and down. Once at the top, virtually deafening musical bells played by a man on the floor below (formally fully automated using a giant drum) and a brilliant 360 view of Bruges. Excellent and definitely worth the admission fee!

Amazing views! A serious amount of steps to get to the top and very narrow but totally worth it. Book in advance using the ticket machine at the bottom of the tower in the archway entrance. Aiming for quieter slots certainly makes the journey up and down the tower easier!

If you have only one day in Belgium you must go to Bruges. The whole city is incredible... We had a chance to try lots of local beers, there was an special event happening in the city... So it was perfect.

Bruges is a wonderful experience, small enough to see most in a day trip from Brussels if you are looking for something to do via one hour train. We also took a 30 minute boat tour that was great, remember to tip your guide as most people don't or won't, a little is better than nothing and they appreciate the gesture.
