The Domtoren is the tower of Utrecht's former cathedral and the tallest church tower in the Netherlands. It was left standing alone in 1674, when a storm brought down the nave, and between the tower and what remains of the church there is now a square. You climb always on a guided visit, up narrow stairs to the galleries at the top, with views over the whole city.
Tickets and booking
It costs €13.50; €8.50 for ages 4 to 12, students and over-65s, and free up to 3. Visits leave from the Tourist Information Centre at Domplein 9, where tickets can also be bought, although the safest option is to book a time slot online. You cannot go up with bags or rucksacks: there are free lockers. Under-18s always go up with an adult. There is a combined ticket with Museum Speelklok and another, Under & Up de Dom, which adds the archaeological excavation beneath the square.
