The Belfry of Bruges, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is a medieval bell tower offering panoramic views of Bruges. Climbing the 366 steps is the main activity, though a lift is available for some accessibility. While solo visits are common, guided tours can enrich the experience with historical context. Be prepared for crowds, especially during peak season (summer and holidays); arriving early or later in the day is advisable. The approximate cost to enter is around €14-16, and a typical visit lasts 1-2 hours, including the climb and enjoying the views. Note that the climb can be strenuous and may not be suitable for those with mobility issues or claustrophobia.
