Great place. You should certainly visit the tower on a sunny day. Stunning views!

I give five stars because I like the structure of this tower very much. However, I do not recommend people to make a tour during coronavirus since that you cannot use the lift. This reason makes you to walk a lot of stairs to go up which is good for health but kill you automatically due to the idea that they need a makeover. It is a pity because the trip could be more enjoyable if those stairs would be taken care of! Moreover, it is like the stairs have being been like that since the twelfth century! And nothing to say about the important figures that they are kept inside which are not protected like the dragon, for instance and all deteriorated. You can even see some can drinks next to the walls or windows. Summing up, we must take care more about the historical facts/monuments of Ghent unless with the passing of time all will fall down and the new generations would not be able to see anything. They should also put some translations about the historical facts of the tower because not all is into other languages and people could not understand or miss out important details. Least but no last, a professional person should be there to give the tour to make it more attractive since that it is a pity to put a video about how bells work or are made in Dutch language on a screen to see without ending. I mean, a well-organization would make people to go more there. Finally, it is not good to go in a hurry, if it is close to six or six something be sure that your visit would be over before reaching the peak of the tower. I would like to end my experience by saying that I love the location of the tower, you can always take a seat and enjoy the view andd the surroundings and the outside beauty of the tower too :)
The visit is very good! Wait for the bell song. Nice view from top floor!
A really magical experience. I was so lucky to be visiting in a quiet period for Ghent (early January), as this meant there were only a few other people here at the time. The views are incredible. Better than the views, is to see the mechanism of the bells as they chime.
The music box mechanism was incredible! It was a very quick trip but had amazing views of the city. We loved it.
One of the best example of Beffroi in Europe. It definetely worth a visit. It is also equipped with elevator. Great view on the whole city 360. Visit is 8 euro, a bit overpriced. 5 stars if they reduce the price.
It is one of the more interesting towers to climb. The view is quite spectacular and you have interesting information and artifacts all the way to the top. My friends and I got lucky and we were just in time to experience the hourly music wheel in action.
Nice view at the top if the weather is ok. There are also some exhibitions on the every floor. There is also a lift if you don't want to take the stairs (not so difficult if you take the stairs). Good value for the money (entrance is 8).
